Golf Fitness Balance Training on The Bosu Ball

Hi, this is Ha Bui with GolfSwingFitTips.com, and today weíre going to go over a single leg balance drill, this is theÖthis will help benefit your golf swing in making sure youíre standing in controlled balance throughout your golf swing. So, the first variation is being able to do it on the ground first. So, you want to basically pick a leg, pick one leg up and then make sure youíre able to balance on one leg. Do both sides, try to hold it as long as you can for if you go TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) test you want to hold for at least twenty-five seconds and thatís normal. So try to hold it with your eyes closed, thatís the test, but if you canÖfirst you want to start with your eyes open first and then balance and switch to the other leg. Then from there, if you try, have your eyes closed while youíre on the ground, thatís another proprioceptive or awareness challenge for your body to have that sensitivity in changing the way that the balance of your body. So thatís one variation. The other variation isÖwhich is more challenging, once you are able to complete and do well in on the ground while you have your eyes closed, is being able to perform it on the Bosu ball. There is one version where you can be on the bottom of the Bosu ball where youíre on the flat side and then Iíll show you the next time, after Iíve performed this one is on the ball side. So, make sure youíre at a place where you hold on, then you step on, just to get you that support, just to get going and then from there you want to try balance on one leg, okay, without wobbling as much. Okay, and then do the same thing on the other side, switch feet, make sure youíreÖone the foot that youíre balancing on is close to being on the center of the ball on there. So, you see my left side, I need to work on my left side, there. So, once you get that conquered, thatÖperforming pretty well for youÖthen the next step is to flip the ball over and then step on it and that, being on the ball, makes it more wobbly, unstable and so if you need to, you may kind of have to work your way up by holding onto this surface right here, so I guess you just kind of work your way up to where youíre not wobbling as much on here. So itís kind of just touch and go until you can control it all the way through. So, this is going to challenge your co-ordination and your balance a little more, I wouldÖby starting with the ground first and the work with you guys to see how long you go, then go on to the flat surface of the Bosu ball and then back up on the dome, the advanced version on there.
