Answer: Charles’ A stronger torso will give you better balance throughout your golf swing. You can use the GolfGym at home to do both workout exercises and swing exercises to promote strength in all of the muscles used in your swing. Heres an exercise that will help you increase the strength in your torso!
Start: Place one foot in the loop, place your hands correctly in the training grip and assume address position with your feet.
Action: Slowly raise the GolfGym to shoulder height creating tension and slowly turn the torso to one side.
Finish: Hold for a few seconds and return to the center position. Repeat 8-10 times then continue to the opposite side.
