Movement prep is preparing your body to perform it's best that day by increasing tissue temperature, actively elongating muscles, refining movement patterns, and activating the nervous system.
Pillar is the static and dynamic stability of the shoulders, torso, and hips. This can be seen as an extension to the warm-up where we target the important golf muscles of the core and glutes.
Develop explosive power and stability by improving kinetic linking and ability to transfer force. These medicine ball throws, slams, and plyometrics can improve overall athleticism and club head speed.
Strength training is a crucial foundation to build power and speed on and injury prevention. We use a movement-based approach that trains the body as a whole coordinated unit. No machines here.
Aerobic and anaerobic training to improve recovery between sets, swings, and long tournament days. Shuttle runs, jump rope, battle ropes, and any cardio machines available will work.
Recovery or "down regulation" shifts your nervous system from a sympathetic (fight or flight mode) to a parasympathetic (rest and digest mode) state, allowing you to feel fresh and ready to go play golf.
This is a 9-week program with 4 workouts per week, completed on your own schedule. Each 3 weeks is a new block of workouts which increase in difficulty.
The program is delivered via a comprehensive mobile app allowing you to record your weights, watch video demos, message your coach, and much more.
Full gym is ideal or a well-equipped home gym. Items needed include resistance bands, adjustable bench, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine ball, plyo box, barbell and plates, trap bar, suspension trainer, pull-up bar, battle rope, and jump rope.
