Kicking and Golf
Why kick? When you throw an effective front kick, the muscles you are using are your gluts, hip flexors, and calf muscles — the same muscles used when you stretched and also when you swing the golf club. Strengthening these muscles by kicking will increase the power of your swing over time.
Don't worry! You won't have to jump or kick this hard to get results!
Another great thing about kicking is that it helps with your balance. Today I see people in the gym use a ball to do sit-ups, lift weights, and do yoga – these will all help with balance and you core muscles, but if you follow the Black Belt Golf System, you’ll soon discover that kicking is a quick, easy and effective way to get the same results without any equipment at all.
If you have never thrown a kick before, I suggest at first holding onto a chair or something steady. It is best to do this on a mat or someplace soft just in case you lose your balance. If you decide to do this with a partner or alone, you should be in a place of solitude so you can focus on your kicks and have no interruptions.
What you might find out when kicking for the first time is that balance is the most difficult part. What is happening? While you are lifting your leg up, the opposite leg, the one on the ground, is holding up your whole body weight. Unless you have done gymnastics, dance, yoga, or any other sport that requires you to stand for a certain amount of time on one leg, you are not used to it, and that leg may give out and cause you to fall. That is why I recommend holding onto something or have something close by to hold you up if you fall. In the beginning, you want to learn the basics of how to throw the kick and not worry about falling. Holding onto something steady is the best way. Remember, results are incremental but worth the effort. Keep kicking and let me know when you feel that Black Belt Golf power!
