Over the past four weeks we have incorporated strength conditioning exercises for golf. Many of these exercises are complex movements, meaning we include all planes of movement as well as balance. These exercises are challenging and I would like to hear about your progress. Send me your feedback to Katherine@KRFlexFit.com and check out my new book Swing Flaws and Fitness Fixes on my website.
This week, we continue with the strength training theme, introducing two exercises for the core abdominals ' core crunches on the ball and oblique power twists.
Remember to breath deeply, exhaling on the exertion phase of the exercise.
Lets get started!
| Core crunch on the ball | |
Begin on the stability ball and roll down on the ball until your lowest rib is touching the ball. Pull your navel towards your spine and scoop the lower abdominals inward, towards the ball. Place your hands behind your head, elbows in your peripheral vision. | |
| Oblique rotation with speed | |
Bring the body to the position where the abdominals are in the maximum contraction. | |
