So, here are three exercises to get your started on creating more power in your swing! Follow
the links – try 12-15 of each 2-3 times a week, and you will start being the envy of your golf buddies!
1 Split Stance Lunge Turns
This is a great body prep to stabilize
the lower body and rotate the upper
body. From a standing position take
a step out with your right leg in
front of you and bend forward into
a golf posture. Grab both ends of
the club and make some turns from
side to side. Then repeat with the
opposing leg forward.
2 Ball Pass Overhead
Start by holding a medicine ball in your
right hand and stand on your right leg
only. Slowly press the ball up over your
head and pass the ball over to your
left hand. Bring your left hand down
to your side and repeat the maneuver
up and over to your right hand again.
Make sure you stay balanced on you
right leg only the entire time. Repeat
for the prescribed number of reps and
then repeat on your left leg.
3 Bridge with Leg Extension
Lying flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet
flat on the ground, extend your arms out to your side. From
here, lift your hips up off the ground using your glutes. Once
stable, extend your right leg out straight and try to maintain
a stable pelvis. Hold for prescribed amount of time and
repeat on the other side.
