Here's Tom:
Its Friday afternoon you just left work to meet your buddies for that round of golf you've been waiting for all week,you rush to the range to hit a few balls and off you are to the first tee,thinking I'm gonna hit this drive 300 yards down the middle and next thing you feel is something painful ...wow that hurts! that's the common mistake of not getting the body warmed up.after several lessons learned for myself ,,,,you need to stretch".think about it ,watch the pros in any sport before a game and what do you see? trainers working with the athletes moving their bodies and helping to prevent injuries.We, the proverbial weekend warriors that we are, totally forget what our bodies need to help us stay off the DL,the season is short enough so don't forget to work with a trainer so you're buddies wont have to look for someone to take your place in the foursome!
| Here are a few stretches to loosen you up for your round: 1) take a larger than shoulder's width stance,bend at the hip and let gravity lower you're body ( great for hamstrings& back) 2) take a club and place it behind your back ,so the club rests at the elbows , take you're stance and rotate you're body as you would to swing the club( gets the torso and hips loose) 3) hold on to a golf cart with both hands and stretch your back by straightening your arms and leaning back( gets you're lats and shoulders loose) Thank You, Tommy G. * Personal Fitness Trainer * CPT/ * CPR/ AED * Integrated Stretching |
