Balance Side Stabilizer Instructions
- I really like these balance disks, you can use a bosu ball or other balance aid, but these are my favorite.
- Anchor a band about chest height and step sideways away from the anchor until you reach the desired resistance.
- Step up on the balance disks.
- Start with the handle in tight to your chest and grab with both hands.
- Slowly press the handle down away from your body at about a 45 degree angle.
- Keep pressing until your arms are out straight and pause.
- Slowly return to the start and repeat.
- Switch sides and repeat.
*None of the exercises shown are supposed to mimic your golf swing exactly. So please do not try to modify movement patterns in order to mimic your current golf swing. These exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles you use in your golf swing in a certain way so not to change your swing but make your current swing better. If you are choosing to modify your swing that is for you and your swing coach to work on.
Tim's list of benefits for the Balance Side Stabilizer
- Balance disks are great for balance work, each disk is independent so your foot placement can be close, wide, or anywhere in between, they offer a lot of versatility which can really help to challenge you.
- This exercise works your core without putting pressure on your lower back so this is a great abdominal exercise if you have back pain.
- When this exercise becomes too easy, try standing on one foot.
