Grab your PowerCord and lets get started!

POWER SQUAT

Place both feet on the center of the tubing and spread your feet shoulder-width apart to increase tension. Raise both hands to shoulder height. Bending the knees, slowly descend back as though you were sitting in a chair. It should take you to the count of four to get to a comfortable squat. Now hold for four counts. Slowly return to the start position for four counts and repeat. Tip: Count slowly. Example: 1:1,000 / 2:1,000 / 3:1,000 / 4. Ive worked with some that count so quickly, they might as well be counting by twos! Remember, the slower the better! A stronger base will create more power behind the ball! Recommended Reps: Par Level:8-10 reps Birdie Level:12-15 reps Eagle Level:18-20 reps

POWER BACK ROW

Place one heel on the tube towards the handle to create resistance. Extend the opposite leg back and place the hand just above the knee for support. Bending the elbow slowly, pull the tube upward while flexing your upper back. It should take you to the count of four to pull the elbow upward. Now hold for four counts. Slowly return to the start position for four counts and repeat. A strong upper back will help alleviate back pain associated with the golf swing! Recommended Reps: Par Level:8-10 reps Birdie Level:12-15 reps Eagle Level:18-20 reps
