Exercise bands - Golf core muscle work-out

Exercise bands are a great way of working your golfing muscles - they provide an isometric exercise. Which is good for developing strength and speed - which is needed for the golf swing.

They are also easy to pack away and store and quick to get out and use. Convenient to carry with you when you are away from home - perhaps working away and staying in a hotel... or when you go on vacation.

Attach an Exercise band securely to a solid structure (e.g. looped around your bedstead or secured to a door frame).Secure at approximately waist height.Adopt a golf backswing position as if approximately half way back i.e. your shoulders are turned, your arms are reaching out to your side. Position yourself so that there is some tension in the exercise band.Now using your stomach muscles turn back to the address/impact position - and stretching the exercise band.Hold under tension for a count of 10 - you should feel the tension in your stomach muscles not your shoulders.Return to the half way back position.Repeat - three to five times.Swap sides and repeat.

Progressively increase the number of repetitions each session as your core muscles improve - start with three to five repetitions build up to ten.
