Here’s one of my favorite finishing exercises to do before I play or practice.

Reverse Lunge to Rotation!

Keys to Remember:

• Focus on your foot and feeling the ground beneath you
• When dropping back into the lunge position, tuck your pelvis under.  This will help engage the glutes and core, as well as provide an active stretch on the hip flexor.
• Breathe out and drive up hard to the balance position
• Once balanced, focus on feeling the glute on your standing leg activated.
• Add the rotational component once you feel proficient in the lunge.
• Focus on stabilizing the lower body while rotating from your t-spine.  If you lose your balance, chances are you may have over-rotated!
• You can always start by only rotating at the bottom of the lunge, and then adding the top rotation once you feel more stable
• Don’t be afraid to bust this out on the first tee or the driving range, your opponents will only be intimidated by your power!
