Bridge on Ball – Straight Leg

The most dominant muscle group in the golf swing, the glutes, are the powerhouse of hip strength and rotational power. The glutes have several functions throughout the swing. Stability of the hips, limiting lateral movement maintaining posture through the swing, and creating both rotational, and vertical power through impact

Starting position:

Lying on your back, legs straight, with calves on top of ball

Movement:

Pelvic tilt the low back flat to the ground. Tighten your glutes just prior to lifting your hips and back off the ground, and drive your legs down in to the ball to lift your hips.

FINISH POSITION:

Create a straight line in your body from shoulders to heals, maintaining neutral spine, while legs stays straight.

 

Notes: Move ball further away from body for increased difficulty, closer, to decrease difficulty. All movement should come from the hips, not the low back. Bridging exercises can become harder with no arm support.
