Excellent exercise ,Paul ,thank you for demonstrating it :the simple plank is So boring !( Though immensely profitable !)
Should you do this exercise at your rythm ,or much faster to put to work the fast twitch fibers ?
Raymond,
In regards to proper training, resistance and speed must always be earned. For someone starting this exercise for the first time I would recommend a moderate speed of motion. Once someone has proven to themselves they have the strength, stability and endurance to do 3 sets of 10-12 reps each side I would then ask for an increase in speed to get fast twitch fibers working. The same goes for the dumbbells. Only add weight once the technique is perfect and you want to reinforce that perfect pattern.
Thanks,

Thank you for the demonstrations. Clear and great. Would it be possible for you to suggest the number of sets or frequency of the exercises/ Like 2 sets of ten every other day or what? thanks again. Tim Kelly
Hi Tim,
I’ll typically have my golfers do 10 reps (arm and leg is 1 rep) on one side…rest… then 10 on the other. 2-3 sets of that. Eventually working up to no rest between sides and only resting between sets. 2-4x/week.
Thanks for the question,

Sorry, Mike, I don’t recall. A local personal trainer created it and gave me one many years ago. I just looked up his name, etc. I don’t think they’re made anymore. It broke down so I don’t use it anymore. I did find out that the best google search for decent trampolines for this use is ‘weighted ball rebounder’. Hope that helps.

Hey Jeremy, I contacted you when my back went out at Poppy Hills golf course in May, and your guidance and advice to seek a physical therapist really paid off. I’ve got a great set of exercises that I follow faithfully and things are definitely looking up. Thanks again! Jon

Steven DAaron Baddeley is Australian, even though the PGA Tour website says that he was born in New Hampshire.

Paul WilsonTim,
Sorry, I thought this way for me. My tips still apply but to your swing not Jeremy’s exercises.
