GOLF POWER (LOWER BODY)

The following are simple lower body exercises that can be completed from most any gym or at home with minimal equipment. These are chosen specifically to be simple and easy to repeat. Consult your physical therapist or physician if there are questions about appropriateness of each movement.

  • Perform each movement for the given number of sets/reps (per side).

  • The primary focus of each movement should be effort. Each rep should be performed with full intensity. If the resistance is too much, you will move slowly, and it will not be as effective.

  • Perform each exercise for the total number of sets before progressing to the next movement.

  • Rest breaks should be at least 90 seconds-2 min. This will feel excessively long for the short amount of effort, but the goal is full recovery, so that every effort can be a maximum intensity. You could couple the ROTATIONAL POWER exercises with these during the rest break for time efficiency.
