<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Lie on physioball so only back of head and shoulders are resting on it
• With feet flat on ground, elevate hips so they are in line with shoulders and knees
• Clasp hands, then fully extend arms
• Rotate torso left and right

 

Sets/Reps: 3x15-25
Adaptation: After perfecting technique, perform while holding light weight or medicine ball
Benefits: Using a physioball forces your core and hips to stabilize and hold position, which is required for the golf swings postural position. The twist creates rotational strength.
Coaching Points: Do not drop hips // Rotate only torso and core // Avoid moving arms back and forth
