Fitness For Your Game - Irons

My fitness tips will provide you with a body / mind series of exercises designed to help you in the specific area of you game. This week we address your iron play.  One of the biggest challenges as it relates to irons is consistency.  What can we do physically to become more consistent?  By facilitating better posture, specifically our ability to maintain a consistent spine angle throughout the entire swing plane, we can become more consistent.  Core stability and strength is one of the keys to maintaining a good spine angle.

Typically when we address the core we target all the abdominal, back and glute muscles. For our purposes this week we will address the rectus abdominus, obliques and transverse abdominus.

Let’s get started!

Fitness Tip: Focus on your breathing, exhaling on the exertion phase of the exercise. Inhale as you lower your body, exhale as you lift up.

Roll Downs With Stability Ball:
Begin with the knees bent, ball between the hands at shoulder height. Tuck your navel towards your spine and roll down until your lowest rib slightly touches the floor. Exhale as you lift back to the starting position. Remember to move slowly at first until you have mastered the movement and then pick up speed. Repeat ten to twenty times.
