 Getting into better golf shape can be done in a few 30-minute conditioning sessions each week. But as your physical condition improves, both the time and effort for exercise will have to increase. Let's start with improving your flexibility by integrating these stretching exercises into your weekly routine: Squat AND Arch Sit on an exercise ball and raise your arms over your head. Roll out on the ball until your head is supported by the ball. Drop your bottom into a squat position, then push from your legs and arch back over the ball. Try to keep your spine as close to the ball as possible. Repeat back and forth. Toe Touch Knees Apart Stand with your feet shoulder-width, raise your arms over your head and place a foam roller between your knees. Slowly bend from your hips and lower your fingers to the ground. Squeezing your knees together during the movement assists the stretch. Repeat 10 times. Forward Lunge Take a long step forward and get into a lunge position (front knee over the front ankle and back heel off the ground). If you stepped forward with your left foot, place your right hand on the ground next to your left foot for support. Take your left hand and put it behind your head. Slowly touch your left elbow to the inside of your left ankle. Repeat this stretch five times each on each side. SG Mike Hansen is based in Irvine. He can be reached at (949) 251-0533. |
