Balance Exercises




Watch the above video to learn how to do the flying roman exercise.
This is one of the best exercises you can do for your lower body that does not require any equipment, and you can do it anywhere, anytime! This is a Plyometric exercise, which technically means an explosive exercise, which is great for power and in this case, great for endurance too. What this means for you is that this exercise will stimulate all your lower body muscle fibers to work extremely hard.
How is this great for golf?
In golf, you need exceptional balance. In fact, that’s true in most sports, not just golf. You need that balance to hold your body in space whilst you make your golf swing.  Your golf swing is a dynamic movement, and whenever a dynamic movement is concerned, from a biomechanical point of view, you need balance as the basis of that movement. In a golf swing, your balance is mostly achieved by the conditioning of your lower body as well as your set up position.
You need a lot of balance to do the Flying Romans properly. The exercise works many of the muscles of your lower body (too many to mention), in a way to increase your power, endurance, stamina, flexibility as well as balance and coordination.It’s just a fantastic way to tone up and create a better base for your swing!
And thanks to Dr. Mercola for providing such a great exercise with a great video! For any one who is interested in improving their health naturally, it would be my pleasure to introduce you tomercola.com. His contribution to the field of energy and health is profound and I believe anyone would benefit from his teachings.
