How is your golf swing? Now that the winter is closing in, its a great time to improve it.

Here is an article from Flourish;

That new power swing that promises to put you on the green in two could put you out for the season.  4 out of 5 golfers experience a back injury at some point, according to Sports Injury Bulletin.  One of the most common causes is a new swing, says Debra Gillis, a physical therapist with Colorado Sports & Spine Centers. 
"As you change your swing, you put different demands on muscles and joint that can lead to injury," Gillis says.
Today's golf swing relies on a tightly coiled body that releases its power at the point of impact.  This swing requires core strength and flexibility in the hips and back.
Maintain a year-round routine of Pilates, yoga or other exercise programs to reduce the risk of injury.  "This will also help improve your accuracy."  Gillis says.  Focus on;

• Building inner core strength.  Forget the sit ups and concentrate on exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor and the deep abdominal muscles.
• Increasing hip rotation.  Work on "turning over" your hips as you pull through the swing.
• Increasing upper-back flexibility.  Harness the power of the trunk through a full upper-back swing, rather than through the arms.

Increasing your flexibilility and core strength can be accomplished by the right set of exercises.  Check out my program to get started on improving your power swing Stabilize Your Core
