Joe Hashey from Synergy Athletics takes us through a couple of trunk/ core strength training exercises in his “chop series” with an old car tire. Rotational strength development will improve athleticism and add power to your clubs and bat. Functional exercises like the “chop” are an excellent alternative to crunches and other single plane single joint movements that don’t translate as directly to the ball field or golf course performance.
Additionally old tires provide another example of how to save money on fitness equipment. Tires are great for the exercises shown below and other throwing movements, jumping, and sledge hammer work.
