Today our guest is Mike Pedersen from performbettergolf.com.  Mike is a golf fitness instructor that I follow quite frequently.  Today he gives you a great way to get into what I call the "tray position," which is essential to help you start the downswing from the proper position.  Thanks, Mike!

To get started, take a pair of 5 lb dumbells and get into the golf posture.  From there, you are going to lift the elbows upward until the upper arms are parallel to the ground. From there, you are going to rotate the arms backward and down, all the while keeping the upper arms parallel to the ground. The whole time you will be keeping in your golf posture. Move the arms in a vertical and then horizontal position continually.  Do 3 sets of 10 repetitions.  Keep the weight low, as it will put a strain on the rotator cuff if you use too heavy weights.

This is a simple exercise that, done regularly, will help get you not only into a better top of the backswing mechanically but give you more strength to make a better turn.
