How to Get in Golf Shape - Part 6
We have covered quite a bit in this series, but we still have a few different parts of the golf swing to cover. Getting in golf shape requires some dedication and you will need to do some of these exercises every day for about five days a week. This part will cover the initial downswing.
You have done everything, up to this point, to coil up and store energy. Now you need to unleash that energy. The lower and upper body need to stay synchronized and you need to allow your legs to lead. This is all necessary to create the best downswing possible.
The first exercise to help you strengthen the muscles used in the downswing is the pillar stabilizer pushups. These are like a regular pushup, but you put your forearms on the ground so that you are bending only at the elbow and then pushing yourself up. These are not the easiest to do, but they will work the necessary muscles very well.
The second exercise is the front lunge. You can do this exercise with or without weights. You will start in the standing position and step forward. Lunge with your front leg until it is at a 90 degree angle. Next, step back and do it with the other leg. This will work your legs in full and will help you with your downswing lead.
The last exercise for the downswing is the squat. This exercise can be done against a wall or with weights. You want to start in the standing position with your legs shoulder width apart and bend at the knees until your legs make a 90 degree angle. Then, go back up to the standing position and repeat.
Now we have gotten you all the way to the initial downswing. There are still a few parts left and we will cover those in the next few parts of this series. So far we have gotten your golf swing off to a great start.
