Posture Training for Golf | Week 7

Good posture at address is the starting position of a good golf swing. It allows a player to generate a big turn increasing clubhead speed. With so much of our lives spent in a sitting or forward body posture, most of us need to work on posture exercises to stay balanced.

• Thoracic Foam Roller Mobilizations – 3-5 per segment
• Prone Cobra – 30 to 90s hold x 2 to 3 sets
• Bent Over Row – 12 to 20 reps x 2 to 3 sets x 7.5 to 25lbs
• L’s from Golf posture – 8 to 12 reps x 2 to 3 sets x 1-5lbs
• Opposite Arm, Leg Lifts – 8 to 12 reps each x 2 to 3 sets

We start with the thoracic foam roller mobilizations to loosen the spinal joints that might be forcing us into bad posture. Then we use the following strength exercises to build the muscles we need to hold us in good posture.
