When the temperatures drop, your body tends to get stiffer—especially through the core, shoulders, and upper back. That’s why Winter Wednesday is all about staying strong and mobile through smart, efficient movement.
Today, I want to show you one simple move that does a lot of work in very little time.
Why This Move Matters
This exercise helps you:
-
Activate and load your core
-
Improve upper body and thoracic mobility
-
Train rotation in a controlled, athletic position
-
Build strength without excessive strain
It’s perfect for golfers because rotation and stability must work together. Strength without mobility limits your swing. Mobility without strength leads to inconsistency.
How to Perform the Drill
-
Start on all fours in a push-up position.
-
Thread one arm underneath your body, reaching across.
-
Open that arm up toward the ceiling, rotating through your upper back.
-
Repeat on the opposite side.
-
Perform one controlled push-up.
-
Return to the top and repeat.
Move slowly and with intention. There’s no rush here.
Key Coaching Point
Always remember this:
You do what you can do. You never do more than you can do.
Quality movement beats high reps every time—especially during the winter months when joints and muscles need more care.
Why This Is Perfect for Winter Training
Cold weather often makes golfers skip movement altogether or overdo intensity too quickly. This drill allows you to:
-
Warm up intelligently
-
Build strength safely
-
Maintain rotation and mobility through the offseason
It’s a smart way to keep your body prepared so when spring rolls around, you’re ready to swing—not starting from scratch.
Final Thought
Winter Wednesday isn’t about grinding harder—it’s about moving better.
Stay consistent, stay mobile, and keep your body strong all winter long.
