10 days of winter workouts: Smith machine squats

A strong lower body is essential for a good golf swing.

Having a weak lower body was so 2022. The new year is here and Golfweek is determined to broaden your fitness knowledge and give you some golf-specific exercises with “10 days of winter workouts.”

Averee Dovsek is in the gym demonstrating a smith machine squat that will help improve your lower body strength.

Many people struggle with knee pain and we explain how moving your feet forward in the set-up can help minimize pain. The smith machine is a great tool to help the body stay balanced while squatting safely and effectively.
