Use a kettle or dumbbell and place it on your chest.
Set up in you golf stance.
Bend over as you press your hips back. Feel tension in your hamstrings and glute muscles.
Hold the bent over position for a moment, then squeeze the gluten as you return to the start position.
Repeat motion smoothly bending forward and standing back up.
Repeat for 8 to 10 repetitions.
