FOUNDATION LEVEL Lower Body Exercises

The role of the lower body is to provide a stable base over which the upper body can coil. “You can’t fire a cannon from a canoe!” What happens in our feet affects every other body part and good ‘grounding’ is imperative if the golfer is to make full use of ground reaction force to generate maximum power.

Our ankle programme will provide you with the requisite combination of strength and flexibility to keep you dynamically balanced and athletically stable. The knee strength programme will increase the torque you create in your coil and your ability to maintain your spine angle throughout your swing for more consistent ball-striking and greater distance.

Full range of motion in your hips is crucial if you are to avoid compensatory movement patterns that will increase your risk of poor golf shots, lower back pain and eventual injury. Undertaking our hip programme will improve your separation of upper and lower body. Generating even more torque in your backswing, you can release that energy into a powerful downswing with optimal club head speed. Research suggests that as hip strength increases, so handicap proportionally decreases. Whatever else you do, don’t miss out on the benefits our Lower Body Programme can bring.
