Staying Flexible & Focused on the Course! - Week 11
By Kelly Blackburn
Welcome to our series Flexible & Focused! With my golf
fitness tips you can improve your golf game and increase your fitness
level! For this series we are using a regular iron, driver or golf cart
for the on course exercises. When you incorporate these exercises while
playing, you improve flexibility, decrease the risk of injury
associated with your golf swing and increase focus! If you are just
joining us, see weeks 1-10 to catch up!
Step 1: Do these simple exercises at the tee box while you await your turn to tee off.
Step 2: Each week you will have a new exercise. This is
a progressive workout which means that every week you will have a new
exercise to perform along with the exercise from weeks prior. Execute
each stretch to a comfortable position and hold for 20-30 seconds.
Step 3: Perform the exercise upon approaching the next tee box to stay flexible and injury free for maximum results!
Let’s get started!
