pilates + golf
Although I cannot promise to improve your golf swing, a proper “warm-up” before
starting may help your body feel better both during and after your round.
1. To encourage hip joint mobility, use your right hand to hold onto the top of a golf club
stabilized on the ground at the bottom. Using the club as balance, swing your left leg
forward and back 5-10 times. Switch sides.
2. Now, with the club back in the right hand, swing the right leg away from the body and
then across the middle 5-10 times. Switch sides.
3. Lastly, again holding onto the stabilized club with your right hand, bend your right
knee and lift the heel to bear more weight onto the left side. With your right leg bent
and resting on the ball of the foot, turn the knee toward the left/midline and then to the
right/away as though you are squishing a bug with your foot. Repeat 5 times and
switch sides.
