Fitness: Core Values
Target your midsection for improved rotation and more powerful drives.
For golfers, core training is about more than building washboard abs; it’s about building rotational strength and flexibility. Conditioned muscles in the midsection (abdominals and oblique’s), lower back, hips and glutes stabilize the spine during your turn and help you retain your posture through impact, which increases power. If your core isn’t strong and flexible, you’ll compensate with your arms and shoulders, which can cause injuries in addition to swing flaws. The following exercises will improve both your swing and your waistline–good news in the festive season.
