Abdominal training has greatly evolved over the last decade or so. In the past, crunches, sit-ups and leg lifts may have been the norm… but not anymore, and especially not for golf. In the golf swing, your abdominals are primarily used as a stabilizer of the spine, not as a mover ( as in crunches or sit ups.) You must train your abdominals ( also called anterior core) in STABILITY- ie stationary holds which produce great golf posture and act as translators of force from the ground up. The lateral abdominal muscles, the obliques, must also be trained both in stabilization but also in rotation, as golf is all about proper rotation. In this short video, I outline several standing abdominal exercises which are fabulous for your golf swing and posture.
