Static golf fitness stretching is a very safe and effective form of basic stretching. There is a limited threat of injury and it is extremely beneficial for overall flexibility.
This stretching program will include all the major muscle groups, with particular focus on the golfing muscles.
Static golf fitness stretching is performed by placing the body into a position where the muscle to be stretched is under tension. Both the opposing muscle group (the muscles behind or in front of the stretched muscle), and the muscles to be stretched are relaxed.
Then slowly and cautiously the body is moved to increase the tension of the muscle, or group of muscles to be stretched. The position is held or maintained to allow the muscles and tendons to lengthen.
You can perform this golf training routine daily or several times weekly depending on your schedule and your body’s tightness. You may use it in the gym or at home to improve your golf fitness.
This golf training exercises may be integrated at the end of your strength training routine or done separately during the day or evening.
