Total Golf Fitness Part 2

In Part 1 we worked on 3 basic upper body exercises. In the video below, you will see ARPwave guru Jay Schroeder once again working with PGA Pro Arron Oberholser, this time concentrating on just two lower body exercises combined with ARPwave technology.

“OK, we’ve moved the ARPwave electrodes to the hamstrings and the triceps, you see, the human body relates by triceps / hamstrings, and Quads / Biceps. So what we want to do is make sure his hamstrings can do the work they are supposed to do now. So by eccentrically elongating the triceps, we’ll allow his hamstrings to do more work.”

“The first exercise we are going to do is called a Russian Lunge, from the lunge position Aaron is going to propel himself into the air and then land in the same position. If he doesn’t, then we terminate the exercise. In order to make it more challenging, we are going to turn up the ARPwave after each repetition (because that’s what friends are for – Ha!).”

“Every repetition he does, we are increasing the load on the ARPwave, until we see him break position, and that is where we terminate that set. You can actually see the look on his face that that was enough.”

Q. “What are you feeling right now?”
A. “When it (ARPwave) sends the signal through, it eccentrically contracts the muscle which sends a signal to my brain…”
Q. “You are out of breath, are we getting cardio too?”
A. “You will get in shape with the ARPwave, just a couple 5 minute segments a day are all you need.”
Q. “Your voice already sounds better, so your recovery time is phenomenal, so your cardio vascular health is good?”
A. “Absolutely.”
Q. “So if you have knee injuries can you still do this?”
A. “Yes sir, you can do variations of this.”

“The next variation of this exercise we call the Speed Russian Lunge, we are going to scissor the legs and we are going to turn up the ARPwave and do 4 on each side. Go!”

“Obviously these exercises don’t look like they belong to a golfer, but what we are doing is training the muscles to be used the way they were intended to be used. No matter if we play golf or we climb rocks, or play volleyball, it doesn’t matter, the same muscles are required to do the same job. We, [Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab] teach them, the muscles, to do that job very efficiently, while you guys as the golf experts teach him how to play golf.”

“We know that the lower body explodes, and then decelerates on the golf swing just like that, so that matches perfectly. And what’s so amazing is that you don’t have to do a lot of this and you’re getting an amazing workout.”
