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

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.

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.
