Simple stretching exercise anywhere

May 23, 2007 | under Golf Fitness |

We all know that we need keep ourselves fit for the game of golf.  Fitness is an important component in playing good golf. 

This is a good stretching exercise which you can do anywhere.  The best place is when you are at your desk in the office.  Instead of sitting at your desk the whole day, typing on your keyboard and staring into the computer screen, I believe almost all of us take breaks in between.  Why not make use of this time doing some simple stretching exercise.

What I am describing below is good to stretch your back.  This is good not only for golf but for general well being of your back.  Most golfers suffer back injuries due to back not conditioning to the back movements required in the golf swing.

So, grab an office chair and take a seat…..

  1. Sit upright ensuring that your back is straight and chest is up. Stay in this position for a while. You should be able to feel your back stretched. Especially so, if you do not have a good sitting posture.

  2. Next, reach behind you with your left hand. This will turn your upper body as well. Its okay.

  3. Now, place your right hand on your left thigh and pull slightly your thigh to the right. Not too hard.. just slightly will do.

  4. Reach as far as you can with you left hand behind you. With your right hand pulling a little on your thigh, this will create a torque and you should feel your back stretched.

  5. Stay in this position for 10 secs or so. The purpose is to allow time for the stretch.

  6. Repeat for the other side. That is, rght hand behind and left hand on right thigh. Repeat for about 3 times each side.

This exercise do not take much time but it does maintain the back’s flexibility.  If you feel any discomfort doing the above exercise, please do not carry on.  Especially those with back injury, please consult your doctor before stretching.

Keep Fit and Enjoy Golfing…..
