2-min Lunge with Twist
Individual Flexibility Exercises • 1m 37s
Practice something about your game everyday. #CardioGolfChallenge
Watch Karen Palacios-Jansen, LPGA Teaching Professional, demonstrate how to demonstrate this exercise.
Benefits of the lunge exercise include developing strength and firmness in your lower body. The twisting part of the exercise teaches you to rotate over the resistance of your lower body just like what you need to do in the golf swing.
In Cardiogolf, we do a variety of lunges in different planes of motion. The forward lunge works the muscles differently than the reverse and side lunge. All are good to help increase strength and mobility in lower lower body.
Lunge with Twist
Hold an exercise ball with both hands and extend your arms.
Lunge forwards with your left leg, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
As you lunge, simultaneously rotate your torso to the right, keeping your arms parallel to the ground, hold position for a moment.
Return to the start position and repeat on the opposite leg.
Do 8 to 10 repetitions on each leg.
