Stand with the feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Engage the abdominals to ‘medium hold’ and hold a club behind your back, parallel with the ground. Walk your hands along the club until your thumbs and index fingers meet in the center of the club and the center of your behind.

Straighten your arms and elbows as much as possible and gently lift your chest up and away from the club as you take 5 deep, full breaths. Make sure not to arch the lower back by keeping your belly moving towards the spine and really feel your ribs lifting and opening with each breath.

Not only will this help your swing, but the deep breaths will bring more oxygen to your brain and body, giving you more mental and physical energy so you can make better game choices and keep your focus longer!
