Dynamic Golfers

Dumbbell punches are a great exercise for golfers. ⛳️

They train the shoulders, arms and core while challenging you to control force through the trunk. Building overall strength and power can support golf performance, including clubhead speed.

Alternating band face pulls train the muscles around your shoulders and shoulder blades while challenging you to control each arm independently. That combination of shoulder strength and scapular control can be useful for golfers, who rely on substantial shoulder movement throughout the swing. Add these to your strength routine to build a stronger, more controlled upper body for the demands of the game.

A strong golf swing isn’t just about your arms and shoulders. ⛳️

Seated knee tucks train the hip flexors and challenge your core to control movement at the pelvis and trunk.

For golfers, building core and hip strength can support the stability and control needed to rotate and transfer force through the swing.

I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game. It's cold and eraser.

Why golfers should train the single leg deadlift ⛳️

The golf swing is a dynamic, rotational movement that requires you to control your body while transferring force through the ground.

The single-leg deadlift trains:
• Single-leg balance and stability
• Hip-hinge strength
• Glute and hamstring strength
• Control of the pelvis and lower body

It also challenges your ability to maintain control while your body is supported by one leg, which can complement the balance and lower body control demands of the golf swing.

Thread the needle can help golfers improve thoracic spine mobility, which plays an important role in creating an efficient backswing and maintaining good posture throughout the swing.

By combining rotation with controlled movement through the upper back, this exercise helps promote the mobility needed for a smoother, more consistent golf swing.

GOLF TIP ⛳

A mobile spine can help you make a smoother golf swing.

Cat-cow is a gentle mobility exercise that moves the spine through flexion and extension. Maintaining spinal mobility may help golfers achieve the trunk and upper back movement needed during the backswing and follow-through while reducing feelings of stiffness, especially after long rounds or practice sessions. It won't increase your swing speed on its own, but it can be a useful addition to a warm-up or mobility routine to help you move more comfortably.
