We’re golf girlies now and that means we want to take care of our bodies while we’re playing, too. So we’ve teamed up with Dr. Savannah Gardner, DC, CACCP who is owner of @familyandcochiro in Pinehurst, NC to help!
Let’s start with the pre-round warmup. Rather than counting sets and reps, let’s keep it simple. Just perform each move for about 15-20 seconds on each side.
A few key tips:
💪 For the hip twisters and pelvic tilts, try to keep your upper body as still as possible
💪 When going through the backswing rotational patterning, start on your non-dominate side
💪 Lunge with rotation: remember to keep your upper body upright and stable and drive your knee forward
💪 Load & Push: Focus on pushing off the ground and up onto your lead leg to generate power
Mobility exercise is one of the most underutilized aspect of game improvement and it takes little to no time at all. But remember, a warm up should be just that – a warm up! Your goal should be to get moving, get your heart rate up, and get ready to play a great round. Thanks so much, Dr. Savannah! We’ll be back again real soon.
