How strong are you?

That you are a golfer or not, lower body strength has a direct impact on our longevity as well as on the health of our knees and lower back.  A typical yoga class (that it is focused on golf or not) incorporates standing postures which improve lower body strength and stability. 

For golfers, lower body strength has a direct impact as to how efficiently we can connect to ground reaction force and increase our club head speed.

In this blog, since our winter Yoga for Golfers™ program focuses mainly on building strength and stability, I am proposing a short leg strength assessment, which includes a video.

Using just the legs to get up from a chair or from the floor, as demonstrated in the video below,  is a challenging task for many people, especially as we age. Typically, the arms, hands and upper body will swing forward to assist the movement. Let the legs do the work, feel the ground beneath your feet and your weight shifting, and try to minimize the upper-body movement.

So much is revealed in small movements, especially when you move slowly because it takes momentum out of the equation! Take the assessment now. All you need is a chair and about 6 minutes to watch the video. 

Enjoy and let me know how strong you are!
