Plank exercises can be done almost anywhere at any time. Performing plank exercises on a regular basis will help strengthen muscles to improve golf swing and prevent injury.

Lie facedown on the floor and get up into a push-up position.  You can also use forearms and toes to push your body up off of the floor balancing only on your forearms and toes.

Contract your abdominal muscles while keeping your head, neck and shoulders aligned with hips and legs.

Hold position for 10 seconds working up to holding position for 60 seconds.

Doing plank exercises can help you maintain stronger posture in your set up.
