*WARNING*
Always consult with a physician before undergoing any exercise and stop
immediately if you feel any strain.
Having strong glutes and a fit low back is a critical point not just for the golf swing, but good physical health in general. The Bridge Exercise is an excellent exercise for detecting imbalances in these areas and for target strengthening for the one plane swing. It is important that you focus on keeping your hips as high as possible for maximum effect in this exercise. You will really feel your glutes having to work hard to maintain this position and feel your other core muscles working to keep you stabalized. It is an excellent exercise for the one plane swing as it really targets the core muscles used for stablizing and rotating the body efficiently.
Recommend Rep Range:
