Increasing power in softball swing

[kapcar]

Dear Cathe,

What weight training exercises can my husband and I do in the winter months to improve/increase power to our softball swings? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Work on your core. When you start in the spring do you ever get sore through out the core when doing your first batting practice? That was the way I was(retired to coaching now, just play at practice with the Jr High girls). One thing that surprised me the last few years is that because I have been working my core more, my batting has improved. It was the weakest part of my game.
