Upper/Lower Body Separation Exercises For Golfers - Golf Fitness Tips

Upper/Lower body dissasociation, also known as the ability to move the upper and lower body separately, is key for a good golf swing.

Lacking this ability can lead to many golf swing mistakes such as: loss of posture, flat shoulder plane, reverse spine angle, sway, slide, coming over the top, casting, chicken winging and hanging back. Since so many golf swing problems could be related to a lack of dissasociation, working and improving this skill can lead to significant improvements in your golf swing!

Total Body RESISTANCE BAND Workout!

Have you ever considered incorporating resistance bands into your workout routine? Not only are bands a great tool to help build muscle and strength, but they can also be incorporated on a recovery day to offer a little less training stimulus for when your body is less than optimal. For beginners, I like incorporating bands into their regular workouts because bands can be less intimidating than regular weights, yet offer enough resistance to build a solid baseline of strength. For the more advanced lifter, incorporating bands can offer some temporary relief to tight muscles and joints as you recover from a previous strenuous workout.
