UNDER 3 MINUTE GOLF WARM-UP

I am going to talk about WHY WARMING UP IS A MUST.

Then I am going to pull one of the warm-ups out of our 18 Golf Warm Ups Program and share it here!

Let's dive in...

WHY WARM UP?

It is a must.

A non-negotiable.

Two central reasons you should warm up...

[1.] Decrease the risk of injury.

Not all injuries can be avoided, but warming up helps reduce the risk.

A good warm-up will prepare the body's tissues to produce and absorb larger forces.

Then when you take a hack on the first tee, your body is prepared to produce and absorb the forces' your golf swing calls for.

[2.] Improve performance.

I am not saying a warm-up is going to all the sudden fix your golf swing, allowing you to swing it like DJ, Morikawa, or Tiger...

But, a proper warm-up will improve your athletic performance.

It will improve the function of your current golf swing.

After a warm-up, force production goes up, muscle function increases, joint fluidity increases, and nutrients are sent all over the body via a higher heart rate and increased fluid flow.

WHAT IS NOT A WARM-UP?

Grabbing 2 clubs and swinging them around a little bit.

Static stretching.

The walk to the first tee.

WHAT IS A WARM-UP?

Something that does all of the following:

Moves joints through large ranges of motion
Elevates heart rate slightly
Exposes the body to some simliar-ish patterns that it will see in your golf swing
