Golfing

Many players who first take up golf don’t realize that this "leisurely" sport can place many demands on the body. While more women than ever are taking up the game, golf courses remain largely dominated by men. When considering the multiple benefits of Whole Body Vibration (muscle toning and calorie burning), most importantly, it works to strengthen the core muscles, greatly improving balance and stability. If you’ve ever swung a golf club, a baseball bat, or a tennis racket you immediately recognize how critical a solid mid-section is for maintaining control and maximizing power. Lee Westwood, who’s currently listed as second in the official world golf ranking, is just one of the many pros to attribute his competitive edge to the use of a Whole Body Vibration machine.

Professional golfers all know that optimal fitness, strength, flexibility and range of movement are the key to winning at golf and amateur golfers are rapidly beginning to realize this fact. To achieve your personal potential on a golf course, whether playing with your friends or in professional competitions, training three or more days a week on a Whole Body Vibration machine can make the difference between an average golfer and a great golfer. This revolutionary fitness machine was developed to optimize the effects of acceleration training and is now recognized to be one of the most efficient training devices in the world to improve reaction time as well as overall health and fitness.

Prominent internationally known golfers are among many sports professionals (both men and women) who have incorporated Whole Body Vibration technology into their training programs with beneficial results. Because there has been such a positive response from the professional golfing community, Whole Body Vibration equipment has been placed on the PGA golf tour bus to conveniently aid competitors in their training and to give them a quick warm-up before rounds.

A ten minute workout on a Whole Body Vibration platform is equivalent to 60 minutes of conventional exercise in a gym or fitness center. And it is an excellent way to warm-up and it gets those muscles flexible and ready for action. In addition to building strength and tone, performing dynamic stretching movements on a Whole Body Vibration Machine will also help you increase your range of motion thus giving you the edge over your competitors. After a long and strenuous round of golf, a short Whole Body Vibration session can also give you an excellent leg massage.

Whole Body Vibration technology works by transferring vibrations from the oscillating platform to muscles throughout the body, enabling them to contract and relax multiple times per second in a reflex action. Any static or dynamic pose, held for up to 60 seconds at a time while vibrating on the Whole Body Vibration platform, activates targeted muscle groups, simultaneously improving muscle strength, power, flexibility and range of motion; all contributing to optimal performance.

Many professional golfers maintain a hectic schedule, especially while on tour and they welcome the time saving aspect of a Whole Body Vibration workout. The unique and extremely positive benefits of Whole Body Vibration training are quickly and obviously evident to those who use it and it is a great tool to have, assisting in the building of muscle strength, improving flexibility and range of motion as outlined above. It is also very useful for rehabilitation and/or recovery from injury. Whole Body Vibration is really about to change the way professional golfers train. So whether you’re a novice, amateur or professional golfer you can improve the level of your game with Whole Body Vibration.
