3 Golf Fitness Exercises
The Importance of Maintaining Spine Angle Throughout the Swing Maintaining spine angle throughout a swing may be one of the most difficult things to do if someone is not very flexible. What happens is the hips get tight and the glutes essentially stop working. Over time the golfer starts squatting into their knees instead of back and into their glutes. This forces the golfer to start falling forward because they can't sit back, and causes additional stress on the back from this imbalance. This viscous cycle almost makes it impossible to sit upright once the body gets used to these new patterns. This is not a good position to be in! The 3 exercises in this video are great for helping the golfer re-program the body to sit into the glutes and maintain spin angle throughout the swing. The 3 exercises in the video are: Wall Sit: This exercise is great for getting people to sit back into their glutes and also putting some focus on queing the scap during a squat Frog Squat into Overhead Reach: This exercise gets the body doing two things right when squatting. One it opens up the hips and allows a person to sit deeper into their hips so they are taking stress off of their knees, but more importantly learning to use their glutes which will improve distance and power in the swing. Two it puts emphasis on spinal integrity in the squat forcing a person to sit up taller while sitting into their glutes which is going to improve spine angle equating to more distance and less torque on the back. Wall Sit "W's": This exercise is amazing at getting a person to open up their chest and get the scap firing so they can keep their shoulders back during a swing and maintain better alignment.
