Leg Lift Exercise to Improve Your Golf Swing and Back

 

 

Leg lifts are a great Golf swing workout element to add to your routine exercise program to address back pain. If you suffer from sciatic nerve pain that starts in your lower back, goes down your Gluts, and shot down your legs and ankles then leg lifts are a great method to reduce and possibly eliminate this discomfort and/or debilitating pain. Leg lifts also improve stability in your ankles. Leg lifts has eliminate my lower back discomfort and improve my mobility, especially on the golf course.

 

 

Leg lifts are great golf workout to strengthen and firm up your abdominal muscles. If you want a stronger back where you don’t experience back pain, then you need to focus on your abdominal muscles. Leg lifts will not only strengthen your abdominal muscles and reduce or eliminate back pain, leg lifts will also strengthen your quad muscles that are important in most sports and daily activities, but will also reduce the effects or weak ankles like I can experience from-time-to-time.

 

Performing Leg Lifts

 

If you have stairs in your home, go to top landing at the top of the stairs and set down on the edge of the landing. Lean backwards facing up and rest your back on the landing. Lower your legs where your back of your legs are sloping down the stairs. Hold the inclined resting position for 20-seconds before lifting your legs together up to where your legs are between a 30 to 40 degree angle (shown above) above the landing and hold while you move your legs apart about chest width. Bring your legs back together and lower them back down the steps in a slow motion.

 

 

If you don’t have stairs in your home or exercise area, perform leg lifts on a flat surface followed by Half-Cobra Yoga Pose. Both will reduce back pain and improve mobility.

 

 

Perform 10 reps per set with a 10 to 20- second rest period between sets. I customary perform 6 to 7 sets during my CASPER Fitness Program.

 

 

The Leg Lifts- A Reverse Half-Cobra in Yoga

 

The inclined leg lifts are similar to performing a reverse half-Cobra in Yoga, but you are strengthening your legs and abdominal muscles at the same time. You can perform the inclined leg lifts in addition to the Half-Cobra during your workout routine. While you are laying back on the landing, you can take between 10 to 25 pound dumbbells in each hand and perform Bench Presses. I also use the dumbbells as counter weights performing leg lifts.

Operation DOG TAG

Sports, such as golf, along with fitness and an exercise regimen that includes yoga, has been proven to be a great Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for trauma victims. Veterans and those who have experienced a traumatic situation where the mind has been traumatized and disrupted can use golf and yoga to help re-establish connection and pathways in the brain. Golf also provides an excellent opportunity for trauma victims to reconnect in a social setting to develop a dialogue without the pressures of clinical visits.

Here’s the QUESTION: How many times standing in the batter’s box did you think about your golf swing mechanics, techniques, or elements. Your were only focused on the pitch. Why not use the same Outlier technique in golf.

 

 

 

Sir Nick Faldo demonstration of the Preset Golf Swing Technique

 

 

One of Sir Nick Faldo’s first golf swing fundamentals that he learned as demonstrated in this YouTube video entitled The Preset golf swing technique. Nick Faldo discussed the WHAT, but didn’t explained the HOW in his YouTube video.

 

The Sync/Preset Elements in The ESPY Golf Swing Coach explains how to setup the classic golf swing maneuver to place the wrists into the key Lock Position. This was the same golf swing technique used by David Duval during an interview with Charlie Rymer on Golf Channel. These two Videos are probably two of the best Videos to discuss the wrist action in the golf swing.
