TRX Crunches

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:

Start downward facing, with toes in the TRX cradles before lifting your body, align your elbows directly under the shoulders, toes pull up toward the shins locking heels against TRX handles, palms facing up, not touching. Activate the abdominals to bring the hips and torso off the ground, until the back is FLAT, and parallel to the floor, then squeeze the glutes and quads, to being the knees off the ground.

Movement:

Begin the movement by contracting your abs and lifting hips in to the air and pull the knees up to the chest. Return to the plank position without allowing the hips to drop below the shoulders, or back to arch more than neutral.

Notes: to make the movement more difficult, move further away from the TRX attachment point.
