“It’s being comfortable with being uncomfortable, as my dad has always told me. Pain is a weakness of the mind,” said Charley Hull. This statement of hers aptly suits the kind of player she is. Despite major injury woes and health setbacks, the LPGA pro has time and again risen above, like a phoenix from the ashes. Her surprising last-minute win at the 2025 Kroger Queen City is one such example. And of course part reasons for her to be a formidable force on the course is her mental tenacity. But equal credit goes to her intense workout regimen. Her training is intense (like her on course), with a mix of high-energy cardio, functional strength work, and targeted conditioning to develop power, stability, and endurance.

Let us look closely at three of her key focus routines that would help immensely in improving body mobility:

Training rotational strength

Anyone who follows Hull knows that her swing holds immense power. The secret behind it is the rotational strength that she follows. It is quite different from the conventional route of golf-specific drills. What she does instead is build rotation through broad athletic movements.

These movements are designed to strengthen her core and create separation between her upper and lower body. It helps because she can then generate a natural power while keeping her movements adaptable, depending on the demands of the rounds.

There is a mix of exercises that Hull incorporates for this, like the Russian twists, dumbbell full moons, and cable rotations. They effectively target her trunk rotation, and she can then easily transfer power through her swing. Adding on to it, she also focuses on hip flexor stretches and thoracic spine rotation. This ensures a free body movement. She has described it as her go-to movement, saying, “I like to stretch.”

All this has strengthened her body as a whole while refining the biomechanics needed for golf.

Working on vertical force production

For any golfer, generating force from the ground is a core element. And so it is for Hull. Her vertical force production work is designed to improve her stability, power, and efficiency – elements that are required for the long, consistent drives that Hull is known for delivering. So to achieve this, she uses a combination of explosive movement training.

Hull regularly employs force plate analysis, which helps her in measuring the ability to produce power and identify any imbalances in her technique. Now with this data, she gets guiding help in her squat jumps with double dumbbells, box jumps, burpee variations, and step-ups. Hull also includes deadlifting in this particular regimen.

So all this training helps her push through the ground using her glutes and hamstrings. Meanwhile, she can maintain proper knee tracking and foot positioning.

Improving single-leg stability and strength

If one comes to think of it, then they’ll realize that golf is inherently a single-leg sport. Keeping this in mind, Charley Hull focuses on her single-leg stability to balance her swing at the tees and to enhance her overall athletic foundations.

Her unilateral strength includes exercises like single-leg kettlebell, Bulgarian split squats, single-leg squats, and walking lunges. They target her balance, hip stability, and strength while working on muscle asymmetries.

Her trainers, Kate Davey and Matt Belsham, also at times incorporate barefoot exercises to refine proprioception, which is the body’s ability to sense movement and alignment. All this helps her in strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the foot, critical for maintaining postures and control during long rounds.

These workout routines are unconventional for a pro golfer. But it suits the need for Hull, who, apart from physical setbacks, suffers from mental health issues too. Diagnosed with ADHD, these holistic approaches help her to sharpen her mental resilience, channeling her hyper-activeness at a targeted outlet.

As she puts it, “I smash the gym to help me,”  not just for the game, but for her mind, her body, and her life.
