Low Plank Exercise: Core Strength & Trunk Stability to Support Golf Swing Power

Key Points

• • Helps protect the thoracic spine and hips while boosting force production for your golf swing.
• • A regression from the ab rollout, but still a highly effective core strength exercise.
• • Isometric hold—muscles stay static under tension, ideal for developing trunk stability.

• Setup: Elbows directly under shoulders, legs fully extended, hips down, back flat.

   

• Avoid common mistakes:

  • Elbows too far forward (adds difficulty).

  • Hips too high (shifts work to the back).

  • Legs too close to elbows (prevents proper alignment).

   

• Suggested routine: 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest, repeat for 3 sets.
