Golf fitness: Kettlebell exercise that targets key swing muscles

If you can’t get out to practice due to cold weather, try this golf fitness exercise to strengthen all the key golf swing muscles.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek demonstrates a kneeling around-the-world transition to a single-arm kettlebell swing that allows for more control and stability over your center of mass.

Everyone knows that elite athletes can control their center of mass. Golfers require strong and stable core muscles to maintain balance and control during the swing. This exercise targets the core, particularly the transversus abdominis, obliques and erector spine which are essential for rotational stability and power.

The movement also engages the lower back, forearms, glutes and hamstrings.
