What are Core Exercises? Here are series of exercises, designed specifically for the golfer that needs to build core muscles. Even if you think that you don’t need to, I recommend doing a few to stay core conditioned. There are very few golfers who will not benefit greatly with stronger core muscles. The core muscles are designed to stabilize the spine and they also provide the power in the properly executed golf swing. There are a few very good core exercises listed in the Digital Drills sections of this web site and also in the Body Friendly Golf Book. If you you refer to the "Golf Swing Analysis" and the "Body Analysis" chapters in the Body Friendly Golf Book you will find different parts of the swing and the body are addressed by different types of exercises. The swing drills specifically address the parts of the swing that can create problems in the body. The functional training exercises specifically address the weaknesses and flexibility issues in the body that will create swing problems. For a more detailed approach to creating a customized golf fitness program, please refer to The Body Friendly Golf book. |
