Intermediate Golf Exercises – Leg Exercises

As we covered in the Advanced Exercise series, building lower body strength and stability is absolutely essential for a powerful, repeatable golf swing.

Your upper body generates the majority of club head speed through rotational force, which means the lower half must provide an unwavering foundation throughout the entire swing. If your lead leg gives way during the downswing and you begin sliding, your consistency disappears instantly — and you can’t swing with the authority that a truly stable base provides.

These two intermediate leg exercises can be done anywhere — your lawn, your living room, a hotel room. No gym membership required. They’re specifically designed to build the explosive lower body strength that directly supports your golf swing.

The first exercise is the Split Legged Jump. Start with your hands over your head and your legs scissored approximately three feet apart — one forward, one behind you.

Explode upward using only your lower body to generate the jump. While airborne, switch your leg positions and land with feet reversed. Complete three sets of 10 reps, working each leg individually through the switching motion.
