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:
Keeping your arms straight, relax the back in to an ached down position, so the back arches and the head looks forward. Now, brace and flex the abdominals to roll the back up so that the back is rounded, and the head looks down to the floor.
Notes: Hold time in each position may vary. Only go in each direction to a comfortable stretch, not pain.
