Work on Building a Natural Pivot in this Golf Fitness Program

Having a good ‘pivot’ is one of the most fundamental movements in the golf swing. Without good body motion back and through, golfers will have a frustrating and difficult time getting their club on plane and their clubface square at impact. The basic pivot helps golfers get a stretch in their torso so they can get into a nice coil in their backswing as well allow their body to make a proper weight shift from one side to the other.

There are many swing faults which occur when a golfer has difficulty with the pivot. This includes: lateral sway instead of a hip rotation, a reverse pivot, difficulty loading your right leg (or the leg you load at the top of your backswing) and hanging back on your right leg at finish as opposed to shifting your weight again for the point of impact and as you transition to the follow through.

The Inability to Pivot Properly Golf Workout focuses on good body motion, optimal hip and shoulder mobility, and hip and shoulder separation. Use these exercises and stretches to get the motion you need for a great looking (and feeling) golf swing.

The program utilizes supersets. Begin by performing the number of repetitions for each exercise, then immediately move to the next exercise in the superset. After you perform one set of each exercise in the superset, rest 30 seconds, then repeat again. Once the superset is complete, move to the next superset. Perform this routine three to four times weekly, with one day of rest between workouts, for best results.
