SPLIT-STANCE MEDICINE-BALL CHOPS Get into a split stance and hold a medicine ball near the hip of the trail leg. From this stance, rotate your torso and raise your arms until the ball is on the opposite side of your body at about head height. Then reverse the motion until the ball is returned to the start position. Do several reps, then switch hand and leg positions and re- peat the “chops” in the opposite direction. This exercise improves lower-body stability and allows you to swing a club across your body under control. MORE HELP TO CUSTOMISE YOUR WORKOUTS
Perhaps the worst word in fitness is “routine,” says top trainer Jennifer Fleischer. It evokes feelings of boredom and discouragement and might lead you back to the couch. To combat this, Fleischer has designed a variety of programmes in her new video series on Golf Digest: “Custom Golf Workouts.” Whether you have 15 minutes or an hour, there are several circuits to meet your goals (and time constraints). Mix and match any of the exercises to keep your body fit and your workouts fresh. Check out the full programme with Fleischer’s step-by-step videos at golfdigest. com/customgolfworkouts.
COILING SLIDE BACKS Get into your golf posture, feet together, and step on a band while holding one end with one hand so that it’s taut. Perform a backward lunge with the opposite leg while hoisting the band upwards and rotating at the same time towards the pulling arm – then return to the start. Do several reps, switch hand and leg positions and repeat. This exercise improves coordination and function between the actions of the lower and upper body during the swing.
