EXERCISE #1: TOE TOUCH STRETCH
This stretch will loosen tight back muscles and also assist with loosening the hamstrings. Your golf swing posture and athletic position at the top will benefit from this important stretch. Begin By standing with feet shoulder-width apart, bend at the waist while taking your hips back and reach for your toes.Â
Stretching your hamstrings and calf muscles will ensure proper low body posture in your swing and prevent lower back pain. Golfers most often struggle with poor low body posture because of tight hamstrings and calves, so getting these muscle groups warm and loose before tee-off is essential!
EXERCISE #2: CLUB REACH
To lengthen those core muscles (your lats and abdominals) hold a golf club or stick above your head and reach for the sky as far as you can. More flexibility in your core muscles will help you rotate functionally during the golf swing. breathe deep and reach for the sky!
EXERCISE #3: HAMSTRING / CALF STRETCHING
The muscles in your lower back, glutes, and legs can be lengthened with this easy pre-game stretch. Simply reach the golf club as far away from your body as possible, bend at the waist and take your hips back, allowing your lats and back to stretch. Loosening these muscles will allow you to swing the club all the way back and all the way through with great ease.
