Everyone loves a golf-specific exercise that checks all the boxes.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek and her trainer Jon Freed, demonstrate the quadruple plank kettlebell pull-through as an excellent workout for golfers due to several reasons.

Golfers require strong and stable core muscles to maintain balance and control during the swing. This exercise targets the core, particularly the transverse abdomens and obliques, which are essential for rotational stability and power.

The movement mimics the rotational aspects of a golf swing. As you pull the kettlebell across your body, you engage the muscles that are crucial for generating rotational force, helping to improve the power and accuracy of your swing.

The exercise emphasizes resisting rotation, which is vital for maintaining proper form and preventing injury during the dynamic motions of golf.

The quadruped position also challenges your balance and coordination.
