Improve Your Golf and Fitness with the Lunge with Twist

Karen Palacios-Jansen demonstrates the Lunge with Twist exercise to help you increase strength and mobility in your lower body.

In Cardiogolf, we do a variety of lunges in different planes of motion. The forward lunge works the muscles differently than the reverse and side lunge. All are good to help increase strength and mobility in your lower body.

There are many benefits of the lunge exercise include developing strength and firmness in your lower body. Adding the twisting part of the exercise teaches you to rotate over the resistance of your lower body just as you need to do in the golf swing.

How to do the Lunge with Twist

Hold an exercise ball with both hands and extend your arms.
Lunge forward with your left leg, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
As you lunge, simultaneously rotate your torso to the right, keeping your arms parallel to the ground, hold the position for a moment.
Return to the start position and repeat on the opposite leg.
Do 8 to 10 repetitions on each leg.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!
