Upper Body Stabilized Hip Rotation Instructions
- The resistance pulling laterally actually makes this exercise a little easier, using the pressure helps your upper body stay stable, so once this becomes easy, try to do it with no lateral pull.
- Grab a resistance band and anchor it to one side of you and step away till you have a medium level resistance.
- Hold the handle with both hands out straight in front of you.
- While keeping your upper body stable, rotate your hips back and forth.
- Repeat with the exercise band anchored on the other side of you body.
*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.
