Golf Training with Mike Wiebe and the Buddy System
This video is with our Lebert Fitness pro athlete Mike Wiebe. Mike is a 7- time Remax World Long Drive Finalist and uses the Equalizer and Buddy System in all his training sessions.
In this video Mike is shows us some simple moves to develop balance and a stronger core. They look simple but done with focus, control and full range of motion they can be very demanding.
So here are the golf specific exercises we show in this video that you can incorporate into your training:
1. Lunge with a rotational twist. Hold the Buddy System straight out in front of you with both hands and from the lunge position twist your upper body in the direction of the foot that is forward.
2. Woodchops. In a wide foot stance hold the Buddy System down by your foot closest to your partner. Slowly move up and across your chest and extend the arms diagonally up in the opposite direction. Perform 5 to 10X on that side then switch to the other side. *Note* Be sure to lift the heel in order to allow your leg to rotate inward as you reach up do this one in a mirror to make sure you achieve long straight lines.
3. Single Leg Reach. While holding the Buddy System hover your right foot just off the ground and while keeping your back flat. Slowly lower yourself forward with a knee bend and reach down and forward with light tension on the Buddy System. Come back to standing slowly. While still balancing on the same leg perform a one arm row. 510X on each side.
**Note** The Buddy is providing a smooth and controlled tension for each exercise with a lighter tension on muscle contractions and slightly more in the eccentric phase.
This is just a cross section of exercises that Mike uses in his golf fitness classes and is a good place to start. For more info on Mike go to www.fulltiltgolf.com

Why Golf Science Will Win Over Golf Instruction – Advances in Golf technology are actually demystifying the seeming complexity around the ever-elusive progress in one's golf game. Golf, over the years, has been taught using a theoretical approach: with the belief of how one should swing, with the umption of what makes certain things happen in the swing, and with the perception of what the swing should feel like.
