The purpose of the backward lunge is to stretch the hip muscles, the groin area, and the glutes. This will help you increase flexibility in your waist and hip region, therefore, improving your swing.

For this, you will need enough room to stand with one leg outstretched behind you.

How to do the exercise:

1. With your right foot, step backward so that you are in a lunge position and tighten your right glute.
2. With your right hand, reach over your head and push your left shoulder down towards your left hip.
3. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.
4. Repeat 6 times for each leg
