Top 10 Reasons a Golf Conditioning Program is for You

A golf conditioning program, like the Pure Power Program, is not only an excellent way to rapidly improve you handicap, but is also an excellent way to improve your health and wellbeing. Below are 10 ways a golf conditioning program will benefit you.

1. Stronger Heart

A strong heart operates efficiently, which allows it to easily pump blood to your various organs/muscles and handle increased workloads and/or stresses, Exercise pumps more blood through your veins, which increases the size of your arteries, helps prevent fat clogged arteries and helps prevent blood clots. Also, a strong heart does not have to work as hard so you are less likely to have a heart attack resulting from stressful activities or situations.

2. Controls General Pain and Inflammation

Regular exercise is among the best medicines we have. Exercise is an excellent strategy for reducing overall pain and inflammation levels in your body. Studies have shown that exercise helps people with inflammation related conditions, such as arthritis, in many ways. Exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness, increases flexibility, muscle strength, cardiac fitness, and endurance. We have all the tools needed for the body to naturally manage pain and inflammation, we just have to use them.

3. Better Bone/Joint Health

In both men and women bone density continues to increase until about age 30. After that point, bones slowly start to lose density and strength. Regular weight bearing exercises stress bones and promote new bone formation and may prevent many forms of bone loss associated with aging. Regular exercise also helps in postponing the degenerative processes that happen to our lumbar disks, cartilage and joints in general as we age.

4. Lose Weight

Many people have a few pounds that they would like to lose, and for good reason. Losing weight gives you more energy, lessens the daily stresses on your joints, reduces your general health risks, helps keep you mentally sharp, makes you feel better about yourself, and allows you to better manage day to day stresses.

5. Lower Your Chance of Heart Disease and Stroke

Physical activity 3 days a week can significantly reduce you chances of heart disease and/or stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, raising your HDL levels (good cholesterol), lowering your LDL levels (bad cholesterol), lowering blood pressure, improving blood flow.

6. Slows the Aging Process

Aging, per se, is not just the effects of chronological time, but the inactivity we impose on our body. The former Surgeon General of the United States put it very bluntly: "More people die of a sedentary lifestyle than from smoking". Much of what we consider normal aging is due to our sedentary lifestyle. Inactivity, due to the lack of exercise, affects the architectural structures and thus speeds-up the "aging process". It is inevitable that we all grow old, but it is not inevitable to grow old in such a manner as not to be able to bend down and tie our shoelaces, or do the everyday ordinary chores without the resultant aches and pains. Slowing the "aging process" therefore depends on you and what steps you employ to do this. A conditioning program of some kind will help tremendously in turning back "Father Time".

7. Reduces Lower Back Pain

The natural stimulus for the back to heal is exercise, done in a controlled, gradual, and progressive manner. Movement distributes nutrients into the disc space and soft tissues in the spine to keep the discs, muscles, ligaments and joints healthy. And the converse is true too-lack of exercise can worsen back pain by leading to stiffness, weakness, and de-conditioning. Regular exercise works wonders for managing and treating lower back pain.

8. Psychological Effects

Regular physical exercise is an excellent method of improving your mood and your sense of general well-being. It also helps tremendously in managing everyday stresses and to help clear your mind. Don't forget that a clear mind with less stress can make you more productive in your day to day activities and at work.

9. Better Golf

The ultimate goal of any golf conditioning program should be to help you play better, pain free golf. A properly designed golf strength and conditioning program will increase your power and accuracy off the tee, your accuracy into greens, and your mental focus on the course. The end result will have you bombing your drives, attacking more pins and seeing more birdie chances which gives your scores and handicap no choice but to drop.

If you would like to play the best golf you have ever played, hit farther than you have in years, play pain free golf for the rest of you life and shoot lower scores while doing it then perhaps you should consider a golf conditioning program like the Pure Power Program.

10. Incredible Results in Less Time

A golf specific conditioning program will not only have enormous benefits for your golf game but it will also tremendously benefit your general health and wellbeing. If you would like to hit longer drives, shoot lower scores, play pain free golf AND lose a few pounds in the process then the Pure Power Program is a perfect match for you.
