Mobile Hips and Glutes For Better Golf

KarenCardiogolf Daily Dose, Golf Fitness

Your ability to shift your weight on the downswing is based on how mobile and strong your hips and glute muscles are.  Weakness here can lead to hanging back in the swing, not only causing mis-hits but preventing power as well.  Incorporating exercises that strengthen your lower body will provide you with a power base to hit solid shots.

Basic Bridge Exercise

  1. Lie on your back and bend your knees.
  2. Slowly raise your hips off of the ground, so that your torso and legs form a straight line, like a plank.
  3. Hold position for 10 to 15 seconds.
  4. Return to start position.
  5. Repeat for 8 to 10 repetitions.
