Lunges are very beneficial to the golfer. Golf requires a fair bit of walking, which is a series of mini- lunges. There are times when you will have different lies such as a sidehill, downhill etc. and lunges help develop strength. You are lunging in four different directions: front, diagonal, side and back.

Multi-directional Lunges

1. Place a club or a dowel rod across your back and stand with a shoulder width stance.
2. Lunge forward, then return to the start position.
3. Lunge diagonally, then return to the start position.
4. Lunge to the side, then return to the start position.
5. Lunge to the back and then return to the start position.
6. Repeat sequence on the other leg.
7. Repeat entire sequence on each leg for 8 to 10 repetitions.
