I don’t have to do much convincing to tell you that golf fitness can have a profound impact on one’s game. Just look at the top golfers in the world and tell me what kind of shape they’re in. There’s your proof. This article will discuss the side effects, or side benefits in this case, of how playing golf, and sticking to a normal fitness routine can benefit facets of your life other than your scorecard, your golf scorecard that is.

Alright let’s start by looking at what kind golf fitness benefits you will reap when you have achieved a high fitness level. First of all, you’re going to be more flexible than 95% of the people on the planet (slight exaggeration, but you will be extremely flexible).

Being flexible simply means you can move better. How bout this for an example. Ever have to look over your shoulder to check your blind spot in your car? Well, its a lot easier to do when you’re flexible enough to just turn, rather than having to lift off the seat and rotate. That’s just the tip of the golf fitness benefits iceberg.

How about added core strength? Ever hear of old man Earl across the street who threw his back out pouring a bowl of cereal. Well, as long as you keep those core muscles strong, your risk of a back injury dramatically decreases. Not to mention you’ll have rock hard abs, always a plus. How’s that for a golf fitness benefit?

Speaking of confidence, imagine how showing off your cut bod on your morning jog is going to make you feel. Do you see all of those looks you’re getting. It’s not because you have a stain on your shirt, no. Your new golf fitness benefits are showing through that tight shirt you have on.

While we’re on the subject of running, there’s another golf fitness benefit. The increased cardiovascular vitality you will develop will reduce your risk of heart related illness. Did you ever think this would do so much for your life?

Put yourself in this position. You get up in the morning, do your 20 minute workout., then you head to your day job feeling like a million bucks. Why? Working out releases dopamine, the primary pleasure chemical in your brain. You’ll feel awesome every time you work out.

Now you’re walking into your office with your perfect posture because you have that insanely strong golf core. You walk with a swagger all day and have the confidence of a rockstar. That’s where golf fitness benefits me the most, not to mention shooting in the low 70s every time out!

These are just some of the gains you’ll see in your life. The list is a long one. Get yourself in shape and improve not only your golf score, but your life score!
