We all know how important the core is to your golf swing. But which ones are the best for golfers? Add these three core exercises — all of which use the cable machine — to increase your swing speed and save your lower back.


Hi, my name is Anthony Young, fitness instructor for RotarySwing.

com.

Today I'm going to show you three great core exercises to help you boost your power and prevent injuries.

Now, as golfers, we all understand how important the core is.

It helps us hit further, it helps us gain more swing speed, it helps us prevent injuries because it braces and protects our spinal column.

But, what are the best core exercises for golfers?

There are so many core exercises to choose from, which one are best?

Today I want to show you three really good core exercises that are appropriate for golfers of any level, regardless if you're a beginner or advanced, or if you're a senior or just beginning.

So, let's break down three exercises.

All you need is a cable machine.

The first exercise is called a pow-off press.

You're going to get on both knees, and you're going to set a cable handle to about chest height.

You're going to get tall, squeeze your butt, tighten your core, and you're going to bring this to your chest.

And then what you're going to do is you're going to tighten your core and push out.

Now, the cable wants to drag you back this way, but you're going to resist against that.

So, it's going to look like this.

So, everything nice and tight, squeeze tight, push out, hold for a second or two, bring it back in.

Push out, hold for a second or two, bring it back in.

And then, do all your reps on one side, then face the other side, and repeat.

This next exercise is a cable chop.

You're going to grab a cable bar.

If you don't have a cable bar, you can use a cable rope attachment and just hold it at the ends.

You're going to grab the cable bar at the ends.

You're going to pull it across you diagonally, and you're going to punch out.

You're not going to twist.

You're going to stay nice and tight, squeezing your glutes, squeezing your core, pull it across you, punch out.

Again, punch out.

And then, do all your reps on one side, face the other way, and then repeat.

This last exercise is a cable wood chop.

You're going to set a cable handle to about chest height.

Grab it, get into a nice long stance.

Okay, nice long stance, core tight, and you're going to turn your feet, your hips, your shoulders, and your arms all at the same time.

So, it's going to look like this.

Just like that.

Notice that my hips and my core and my shoulders all line up.

It's not my shoulders moving.

It's everything moving together.

So, almost imagine that your feet are spinning.

Watch the feet, how they spin.

Keep your core tight, and turn.

Just like that.

Do all your reps on one side, and then do all your reps on the other side.

And those are your three core exercises.

Give those a shot in your next workout, and over time, you'll notice a difference in your core strength, and your distance.
