Work Out Your Swing in the Gym!

Starting Position

Backswing

       Downswing

Take advantage of gym time and work on your swing. This exercise helps golfers to experience staying in posture while strengthening those muscles groups used for the backswing and downswing. Follow these simple steps:

• Utilize a resistance band (tie one end around a post) or a cable machine (set to your appropriate weight)
• Set the height of the band/cable to match your hand position at address (see photo of starting position above)
  
• Pull the band/cable away from the post/machine to feel tension and keep the tension throughout
• Small movement (half swing or less) with repetitions of the backswing AND the downswing (3 sets of 12 on each side)
• For more difficulty, stand on an unstable objective (bosu ball, balance disks, half foam roller, etc)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Begin with proper posture and remain in that position throughout the exercise)

Try this great exercise the next time you are at the gym - Happy Swinging!
