A note from Karen:

The challenge is straightforward-simply make 1000 practice swings during the month (30 swings a day)  to improve your swing technique and increase clubhead speed.  You don’t need to go to the driving range or golf course, you can simply make practice swings in your garage or living room at home a few minutes a day.

If you don’t have enough room to swing a regular club,  use the ‘Shortee Practice Training Club’ by GolfGym.  Click here for more information. 

Today I am using a Pilates ring to practice my swing.  Click here to learn more about Pilates. 

Day 5

In the golf swing, the spine must stabilize as other parts of the body move. So it is important to strengthen core muscles.  If core muscles surrounding the spine are weak, then those muscles can’t contract to create resistance to allow the arms to swing freely through the ball.

It is important to strengthen core muscles, not only to create power in the golf swing, but to protect the spine from the force of the golf swing.

This series of classical Pilates moves, collectively known as the Series of Five or ‘Ab 5’, is essential for golfers who want to improve core strength and stability.

In these exercises, you will be stabilizing your spine and core muscles as your arms and legs move in different directions just like you have to do in the golf swing.

Watch as 15 to Fit Pilates, Barre and Fitness owner, Patrea Aeschliman, coaches me as I demonstrate the ‘Ab 5’ series. Join me as I take the #15toFitAb5Challenge where I do ‘Ab 5’ every day this year.

Take the Cardiogolf 1K Practice Swing Challenge with me.  Post a note  on my Facebook page letting me know that you are up for the challenge.
