Torqueblade for the Dynamic Golfer –
My father would be very amused to read this article, you see as a young man my father tried to introduce me to the noble art of spoiling a good walk whilst hitting a ball. As you have probably guessed I didn’t take well to golf. Well not the real game, at the time I preferred the game with the one club, windmills and the clowns face at the pitch and put.
As a fitness instructor I have always been interested with the similarities of motion within all past times, arts, sports call it what you will. Through studying functional fitness principles I realized that many fitness regimes lacked cohesion even cross training regimes. I developed a regime which would be applicable for developing gross body mechanics which would in turn enhance specific sport body mechanics and assist in cross training in a functional manner.
The golf swing for example, has many characteristics or points of reference are found in other physical past times such as Tennis, Hockey, Lacrosse, Grappling (Judo, Mixed Martial arts) and Boxing.
· Hip rotation
· torso rotation
· based stance
· shifting of weight from foot to foot
I hope you enjoy the video

I enjoy playing golf even though my golf swing is not as powerful as I would like it to be. I really like the idea of using this fitness regimen to help me maximize rotating of my torso to help strengthen my golf swing. Great idea!!!!
Thank you very much for your comment sdc263.
The regime will also help you with other daily activities as the exercises strengthen the body synergistically.
Kind Regards
Mike
