Shifting from leg to leg while turning the waist i

Shifting from leg to leg while turning the waist is at the core of swing sports like golf, tennis, and baseball. Using a weighted bar while stepping into this forward and reverse lunge also challenges stability and torso control while in motion. #golffitness #golf #golfworkouts #golftraiing #mobility training #mytpi

The power of a bow shooting an arrow lies in the p

The power of a bow shooting an arrow lies in the potential energy converted into kinetic energy. This metaphor relates to many explosive movements in sports. If we think about a tennis player at the top of the serve, the trunk/spine is extended - then the trunk is flexed to finish the movement. This same principle applies to the top of the golf swing to impact with the ball.

This "sit up and throw" works the opening and closing of the trunk dynamically. The med ball can also be thrown against a wall or to a partner for reps.

Using a Powerwheel allows attachment to the feet, not just the hands, like a typical ab wheel. This creates options for a variety of different trunk/core/abdominal exercises and muscle recruitment patterns, like this prone jackknife. #coretraining #absworkout #fitness #athletics #strength

Exercise like this stability ball trunk rotation h

Exercise like this stability ball trunk rotation help to strengthen the trunk/core while also working rotational range of motion, and can be incorporated by people at a variety of fitness levels and is particularly useful for athletes who focus on swinging and throwing motions in their sports. #corestrengthening #athletic performance #golfflorida #backpainrelief #baseball #tennis #golf

Exercises like this reverse lunge to a reciprocal arm swing and leg drive are useful to generate springiness and explosiveness in the legs without the impact of full-on plyometric exercises like box jumps, etc. The key here is to generate the force from the ground and then dampen or decelerate the body movement, which is key to developing athleticism. Even if the sport does not directly involve running, there is a benefit to training the upper and lower body mechanics of a basic functional movement like running. #running #athletic training #golffitnesstrainer #functionalmovements #plyometrics #agility training

The lateral lunge squat works the muscles of both

The lateral lunge squat works the muscles of both the inner and out leg and hip area that help stabilize the body in the frontal plane, which is relevant for sports that require dynamic weight transfer from side to side, and stability with direction change. Using the slider or a towel underneath the stance leg is useful for adding more adductor (inner leg) muscle recruitment on the way up from the position. #legworkouts #athletic training #tennis #baseball #golf #basketball #football #functional training #fitness training

This single-leg bridge variation emphasizes recipr

This single-leg bridge variation emphasizes reciprocal flexion and extension of the hips, a movement pattern that is seen in walking, running, lunging, and other functional activities. To introduce more isometric muscle action into this exercise, use a dowel to hold the contraction of the flexed hip. One set of 15-20 could be part of a dynamic warmup, or 3 sets if working a leg strength day. Simply taking both palms and pressing into the upside knee can replace the dowel. Considerably more trunk activation as well, than a typical bridge. #sportsperformance #functionaltraining #lowerbackpain #spinehealth #corestrengtheningexercises #corestrengthening #stabilitytraining #athleticperformance #movebetter #sportsperformance #functionaltraining #athletedevelopment #lowerbackpain #spinehealth #glute strength #leg day #glutesworkout

Tightness in the lat (back) muscle can lead to los

Tightness in the lat (back) muscle can lead to loss of posture anytime the arms are elevated. An example of this would be during a golfer's backswing or follow-through. This stretch can be done on both sides by positioning the arms to an anchor point, side of a golf cart, or dowel and sitting the hips back. #golffitnesstrainer #pga #lpga #golf #golfing #golfer #florida #golfers #golfcourse #titleist #golfflorida

This combo exercise includes "T, Y, and I" movemen

This combo exercise includes "T, Y, and I" movements, as each movement forms the shape of the letter, and is useful for improving the mobility of the shoulders, scapular stability, and improving posture. In addition, this is a great exercise to strengthen the back and rotator cuff. Athletes that need range of motion and stability overhead like golfers, tennis and volleyball players, swimmers, etc. can benefit from these types of exercises. #tennis #volleyball #posture #backstrength #shouldermobility #personaltrainer #fitness #golf

The single-leg balance to straight arm pull-down

The single-leg balance to straight arm pull-down emphasizes the extension of the stance leg hip, as well as the back, shoulders, and elbows. The movement is useful for balance, stability, and upper body strength. Training the trunk to dynamically control against an external load is great for athletes that need to shift weight rapidly from one leg to the other for running and changing direction; additional ly this can help train stability for swing-sport athletes that require a dynamic interplay of balance from one leg to the other to generate power. Also, this can be part of a warm-up for those doing various types of lifts to pre-activate the trunk/core musculature. The single-leg stance position is a fundamental functional movement that anyone can benefit from training, including seniors who need more stability to prevent falls, need balance navigating stairs, etc. #balance #mobility #stability #power #balance training #personal trainer #golftrainer #mobility training

This plank with band-loaded rotation emphasizes op

This plank with band-loaded rotation emphasizes opening up the front side of the body with the pull away and then rotation with the arm going across the body on the way back. Exercises like the one above that challenge stability and mobility as well as upper-body and lower-body differentiation are great for athletes who need to load, coil, and wind in their sport (golf, baseball, tennis, hockey, etc.).These types of drills work great using a cable machine as well, and can be performed on both sides. #fitness #golf #golflessons #strengh training #juniorgolf #sports #mobility #baseball

This plyometric lunge develops lower body power l

This plyometric lunge develops lower body power linked to torso rotation, making it a great exercise for rotational sport athletes. Adding movements in the transverse plane (rotary movement) can also be added to any fitness routine to ensure movements are being performed in all planes of motion. #sports training #mobility #strength #power #strength training #speedtraining #hipmobiiity #fitness, #golfworkout #golffitness #golftraining #golfperformance #golffl #floridagolf #flgolf
