Prone Superman
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:
Laying on your stomach with arms out over head.
Movement:
Gently bracing the abdominals, squeeze the shoulder blades to lift the head arms and torso off the ground while also squeezing the glutes to lift the feet and knees of the ground as well. Neck and head stay neutral to the spine not over extended.
Notes: Hold time in each position may vary. Only go in each direction to a comfortable stretch, not pain.
