Beast Plank with Arms and Legs
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:
Starting in a quadruped position. Hands directly under shoulders, and knees directly under hips. Toes pulled up towards your shins.
Movement:
Brace your abdominals to maintain a neutral spine position throughout the entire movement. Keeping to toe pulled up to the shin, tighten the abdominals to stabilize the spine and hips, and lift the knees off the ground so only the hands and toes are touching the ground. Once in the beast position, lift one arm, and opposite toe off the ground without allowing any movement from pelvis and maintaining a neutral spine.
