FYI This is not intended to refine your actual golfing technique, as I am not a golf coach. Though in this class we break down some very important joints and ranges of motion you’ll want to develop to level up your range of motion, strength, and resiliency specific to your golf swing.
We’re going to target Thoracic Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation, Shoulder Adduction, Shoulder External Rotation and Abduction. All very important joints to develop for the golf swing.
In the Thoracic Rotation and Shoulder Adduction drill, you definitely have the freedom to stand specific to your actual golf swing. So you can play around with the stances if you’d like.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing this class before or after golfing, especially not at first - because in this class we're targeting the areas that are specific to golfing and we're loaded them with force/stress, which is what we do while playing...so if we do too much work in one isolated area with this class + golfing we could be asking these areas to absorb too much stress in just one day. So this class would be better targeted on your off days. You can absolutely build up the capacity after a while to do it on the same day (especially at much lower intensities), but you want to gradually build up to that and adhere to progressive overload.
I can’t wait to hear your feedback on this class. Hope you all enjoy it!
