Farmer Walks

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:

Safely lift two weights to hold at your sides, and maintain a strong stable posture, abs braces, shoulders set back, and neutral spine.

Movement:

While maintaining perfect posture, and stable core, simply walk in a normal walking pattern, and tempo. More important than the walking, is stabilizing the pelvis and torso throughout the walking movement. To not allow for wobbling, or slumping.

Notes: in order for this to be a challenging core exercise, the goal is to challenge yourself by using a heavy weight that can be safely lifted. If needed, elevate the weight so the initial lift is minimal
