Today's blog is for any golfer that wants to improve their game but also shows moves that can be used in the gym to build power and take control of your training. These next moves will show you how to hit further, build power and take control of your swing to really strengthen your body and game and also they will help you burn more calories over 18 holes.
Hit further by working your hip rotators. To improve your hip control use single leg squats or for a challenge use alternating single leg squats. These give you a solid foundation and good balance to get equal distribution throughout your swing. Lower into a single leg squat and drive up landing on the other leg and lowering. Then repeat. 3 sets of 8 on each leg should do it.
To build power then build your core. Your core is the staple to have a powerful body so making it strong will help you in all sports not just golf. Try reverse twisting crunches to hit your core and obliques whilst attracting female attention from your ripped abs. Lie on your back and perform a reverse crunch. When your hips are off the ground rotate your knees to your right and then go back to the start and repeat on your left. 3 sets of 15 reps each side will improve your torso control and strengthen your posture muscles giving you stronger controlled rotations meaning more controlled power. If it becomes too easy then hold a weight between your knees to really rip it up.
Finally take control of your club by building your rotator cuffs in your shoulders. Building these little beauties will increase your control over your club on the fairway and especially in the rough and sand to get you onto the green sooner. To do this take a dumbbell in each hand and have them at your sides. Then raise one to the side and the other out in front of you till you reach shoulder height and lower slowly. Alternate sides doing 16 reps overall for 3 sets. You might need a few new t-shirts as well for those boulder shoulders.
