Arm Plank with Shoulder Tap

Potentially the most important muscle group, the core is composed of all the muscle from hips to shoulders. It effects full body movements as well as maintaining posture throughout movements. The core effects the transfer of energy from the lower to upper body. A strong core improves all aspects of golf from maintaining posture to increasing club head speed as well as helps prevent injuries

Starting position:

Start in the top of the push up position, with your abdominals activated like a plank. Hands under shoulders, or slightly inside shoulders, feet hip width apart. Tighten glut muscle to help keep hips and pelvis stable, and level.

Movement:

Without allowing ANY movement below the shoulders, lift one hand off the ground, and tap the other shoulder. Hold for 3-5 seconds, rest hand back down, and alternate arms for time, or for reps.

Notes: Foot and hand position can be wider, or narrower to change level of difficulty.
