Build a Stronger Core for More Power

Strengthening your core is something that should be at the top of your to do list. Here are six tips to help maximize your potential as a golfer.

1 —

Planks

• Incorporate planks (front, side, and reverse) into your routine. These engage the entire core and build isometric strength.

2 —

Russian Twists

• Sit on the floor, knees bent, and rotate your torso side to side. You can hold a medicine ball or weight to increase resistance.

3 —

Wood Chops

• Stand with feet staggered, hold a cable or resistance band, and mimic a chopping motion diagonally across your body.

4 —

Pallof Presses

• Standing sideways, use resistance bands or cables to anti-rotate your torso while pressing arms out in front.

5 —

Dead Buggs

• Lie on your back, extending opposite arm and leg out while keeping your core braced. Switch sides.

6 —

Stability Ball Crunches

• Lie on a stability ball, contracting your abs to curl up your upper body towards your knees.
