Golf Fitness has been one of the hottest topics in the industry. Like many, I thought "golf fitness" was an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp", "metal woods" and "golf fashion". A recent back injury and trip to the doctor has grounded my thinking. I finally had enough. My expanding waist line and reducing range in motion needed to be addressed.
A fellow golf writer recommended the TRX Suspension Trainer along with the TRX Golf Workout video. I admit, after ordering the TRX it sat in the box for more than a few weeks. Divine intervention caused me to open up and begin my regimen.
About 3 weeks ago, I finally cut the tape on the shipment and unboxed the TRX, the door anchor and the DVD. Initially, I setup the unit in my bedroom to be close to a DVD player but eventually moved to my newly remolded workout room after I had memorized the routine. The unit is small and versatile enough that I also took it with me on a recent golf trip. (I use a spare golf shoe bag to tote the TRX around)
The Titleist TRX Golf Workout DVD, produced by the Titleist Performance Institute features chapters on proper setup, warm ups, detailed explanation of moves and a real-time workout program. Founders Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Philips provide a full workout video to achieve measureable improvement to your golf game.
With over 25 golf related moves the video targets the three major muscle groups of a golf swing - upper body, lower body and the core. The upper body workout provides exercises to increase speed and power. The lower body section addresses the king muscle group of the golf swing - the glutes. Rest assured after a few weeks, I am on my way to buns of steel. If the glutes are the king muscle group the abs are the queen. The TRX provides an incredible core workout that will work on your waistline.
Almost a month into my workouts and golf season, I have noticed an increase in mobility, strong posture and better balance. I did not measure my swing speed before the workouts began but I have stronger confidence that I am better prepared as I step on the golf course. Bottom line, the TRX and the DVD workout video systematically address the major muscle groups to improve your golf game.
