“If this is all you do, you’ll be in better shape than most.”
▶ “Golf Digest led off with this exercise be- cause it looks cool – and it’s great for training ex- plosive, ground-up power generation – but you might want to do this one after you’ve stretched out a little with exercises 2, 3 and 4 on the following pages,” El- lis says. For this one, step back with one leg drop- ping into a reverse-lunge position (near photo, left). Pushing up off the other leg, leap into the air, raising the trail leg to hip height ( far photo, left ). Land as softly as you can, return- ing to the reverse-lunge position at the start. Do this continuously for 30 seconds, then switch leg positions and continue for another 30 seconds. 1 reverse lunges to leap-ups
