Your Driving Distance The Quickest





Core exercise for golf. you've probably heard this phrase mentioned on the television a

time or to. This is the area that Vijay works on the most with his golf trainer and it seems

to be working for him. He's driving it longer and straighter and winning tournaments.



When we talk about core exercise for golf the key term that needs to be thrown in there is

rotational. You seethe golf swing is a turn (or rotate) back and a turn (or rotate) through.

So any core exercise for golf you do should incorporate rotational strength and

flexibility.



One of the most difficult things for golfers to do is take a step back from their game and

examine what they can do to improve performance. Strength training is a perfect

example. What almost all golfers overlook is developing the strength and awareness of

the region of their body that can lead them to their best level no matter what the age or

ability.



That area is the CORE!



This area starts roughly at your belly button and goes up to the bottom of your sternum. It

is the engine of your body and awareness of your core affects golf the most. Think of it

as the link in the chain that needs to be the strongest, not the weakest.



Greg Norman use to say when he wanted to hit it long he would get his belly button or

belt buckle turning faster; which in other words is his or your core.



Two simple core exercises for golf that will quickly strengthen your core is ab crunches

and back extensions. These would be your initial exercises since I mentioned early on in

this article you need to work from a rotational standpoint to strengthen your core specific

to golf.



Once you've accomplished the above exercises, you can move on to a crunch with a

twist and a back extension with a twist. This will hit your rotational strength right away.



You can then progress up to standing on your feet doing several different variations of

rotational movements with a single dumbbell, standing upright and also in your golf

posture.



When you approach your golf improvement program with a core exercise for golf, you

will see your driving distance sky rocket past your playing partners!
