Ball Planks

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:

Place the elbows directly on top of a stability ball, knees on ground, toes pulled up to shins to start.

Movement:

Activate the abdominals to and squeeze the glutes to bring the knees off the ground so the shoulders are directly over the elbow and the back is FLAT, and parallel to the floor. Feel as if your trying to press the ball as far away from the body as possible.

Notes: Your body should be flat as a board. No round in upper back, no arch in lower back. Feel your abs pulling your pelvis and your ribcage together.
