Band Resisted Pelvic Tilt With Marching
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 by putting a light to medium resistance mini band around the shoelaces of both feet. Lay on your back with knees pulled to the chest. Toes need to be dorsiflexed (pulled towards the shins) through out movement to hold band in place.
Movement:
While continuing to hold one knee tight to the chest, extend the other leg our straight, one to two inches above the floor. Once in position, without allowing the other knee to fall away from the chest, let go it the other leg, rest the arms at your side, while maintaining a high knee position.
The band should be as stretched as possible, low back should stay flat, and head neck and shoulders need to stay relaxed. Hold for 5-10 seconds, and switch legs.
Notes: EACH rep should begin with knees being held to chest to create the best starting position. If you cant hold the position, start with I lighter band, or no resistance.
