Class-A PGA Professional and former NFL player Jason Witczak of The Club at Pradera is here to show you an exercise to help strengthen your entire body. This video workout helps to improve your balance, leg strength, core stability and shoulder strength all in one. With weighted dumbells in-hand Elizabeth Carpenter maintains a strong core, allowing her toes, knees and chest to stay in line upright when lunging forward with one leg. When done incorrectly, Elizabeth’s knee should be bent at 90-degrees, with an upright upper body before using her core to twist to her opposite leg.
