Weighted Bridge

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, knees bent, feet flat on ground, weight placed near, or on the pelvis. Arms supporting weight.

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 through your heels, thrusting your hips in to the weight to lift your hips.

FINISH POSITION:

Create a straight line in your body from shoulders to knees, maintaining neutral spine.

 

Notes: All movement should come from the hips, not the low back. Weight can vary
