Exercise of the month

Swiss Ball Hyper-Extension

This exercise is effective in making the muscles of the low back, glutes and hamstrings work together efficiently.
The muscles working together here are important for the golfer because they stabilise the body during the address position and also assist in driving the chest and arms through the swing.
You will need a Swiss Ball and a wall.

• Start by kneeling down at a wall with the wall behind you and the ball directly in front of you.
• Hold on to the ball and push yourself up, so that the ball is resting on your upper thigh. Anchor your feet against the wall as support.
  (For a more challenging exercise, move the ball further away towards your knees).
• Place your arms across your chest and drape yourself over the ball, being careful not to round the lower back. (See Image A)
• Inhale and as you exhale, pull yourself up for a count of three (Image B) and inhale as you lower yourself back down.
• Repeat 10 times and try to complete 3 sets.
