Most Golf Problems Come From...

Golf is a demanding sport and most problems arise from improper biomechanics. Two of the major ones are improper hip rotation and lack of abdominal stability. The following seven generically based exercises are designed to help improve your skills so you perform your best on the golf course. Until I am able to meet with you personally, these exercises will help you in a generalized way.

The "Seven" Golf Exercises

Lunges with Rotation

Purpose: This exercise is good to stabilize the glutes, hams, and quads while the torso is in rotation. This is a great example of a dynamic stretch and also gets the whole abdominal area toned, especially the obliques


Floor Touches

Purpose: This is great exercise to warm up with before a round of golf. It will help stabilize the ankles, upper legs, and core – plus improve balance, as it engages the quads and glutes, in addition to lengthening the hamstring muscles. Make sure the abdominal muscles are engaged while doing this exercise.


90/90

Purpose: Tightness in the external rotation of the hips is a very common problem among golfers. This exercise gets its’ name from the two 90 degree angles achieved by the legs and will help the hips to rotate better.


Medicine Ball Throws

Purpose: This is a great core stabilizer and a lot fun. It will help develop your core so you can do the work required to successfully execute the backswing and foreswing. You may find a medicine ball at your local Fitness Equipment Store or you can purchase the brand we prefer in the Golf Shop.


Squats With Golf Club

Purpose: This exercise helps to stabilize the core while the hips are moving. It can also help with proprioception of the knees and ankles which will help improve the golfer’s balance.


Side Twists

Purpose: This exercise builds the core and its’ rotational abilities. The rotating core provides power in the body friendly swing. It also builds stability in the legs. You may find a yoga ball at your local Fitness Equipment Store or you can purchase one on line in the Golf Shop.


Horizontal Side Support

Purpose: This is a good core stabilizer, especially for those of you who have not done much core training before. I suggest you do it before moving on to the more advanced core exercises.
