Cardiogolf Core Rotational Circuit CardioGolf

Golf Fitness Confidential by KPJ Golf

We have all heard about the importance of core strength. Core strength refers to the strength of the muscles deep within the abdominals, hips, lower and upper back. Core muscles initiate the movement of the golf swing and help provide balance and power to your swing. Strength in the core muscles can also prevent injuries.

Incorporating core strengthening exercises into your daily routine will not only help improve the efficiency of your swing, but will help you flatten your belly to look and move better. When your core is strong, you are able to rotate it faster in your golf swing creating more clubhead speed. We hardly rotate our core during normal day activities, so you have to seek out rotational exercises. Here is a short core rotational circuit that you can incorporate into your workout routine.

Off-Course Exercise-

These are exercises that I use in my Cardiogolf routine. Move quickly and smoothly through each exercise. Do each exercise for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat circuit 2 to 3 times. As you perform each exercise, allow the strength and energy to start in lower body and pass to upper body as you rotate. As you become better at the movement, you will be able to add weight (such as a medicine ball) and perform more repetitions.
