Functional Squat and One Legged Balance Exercises

The Functional Squat Drill teaches you exactly what proper posture feels like while activating the correct muscles for a mechanically sound golf swing.

If you have medical concerns, consult your doctor first — but this drill is accessible to most golfers. It’s not a heavy, load-bearing gym squat. The movement is relatively shallow, using only your own body weight as resistance.

As long as you keep your weight centered over your ankles and maintain good posture, this drill should feel comfortable and pain-free.

Begin seated in a chair with your chest elevated. Keep your shoulders back and down, and establish proper spine alignment. Hinge forward from the hips until you feel your weight shift over the center of your ankles, then drive your ankles into the ground and stand up.

Reverse the movement to sit back down. With your weight still centered over your ankles, drop your hips back until you feel the weight shift rearward.
