--- In this warmup, you prepare optimally for your golf round. Properly warming up before the game increases blood flow to your muscles, improves mobility in your shoulders, hips, and spine, and helps you build coordination and mental focus for your swing. This way, you are ready for smooth, powerful, and injury-free movements on the course. Let's prepare your body. --- We start with arm circles. Stand upright, feet hip-width apart, and stretch your arms out to the sides at shoulder height. Begin making slow and controlled circles forward, gradually increasing the size of the circles. This activates your shoulder joints and upper back – both are important for your golf swing. [Pause 15s] Keep circling forward, focusing on smooth movement and relaxed shoulders. [Pause 10s] Now change direction and circle your arms backward. This balances the activation in your shoulders and improves joint mobility. [Pause 15s] Keep the movement steady and breathe deeply in and out. [Pause 10s] --- Move on to torso rotations. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Cross your arms in front of your chest. Gently rotate your upper body from side to side while keeping your hips facing forward. This warms up your spine and core – both are important for rotational power in your swing. [Pause 15s] Continue rotating, letting your gaze follow the movement to also promote neck mobility. [Pause 10s] Move calmly and controlled, feeling the gentle stretch in your back. [Pause 10s] --- Now activate your hips with standing hip circles. Place your hands on your hips, feet hip-width apart. Make slow, controlled circles with your hips clockwise. This increases the mobility of your hip joints and prevents tension in your lower back during the swing. [Pause 15s] Make sure your upper body stays stable and you feel the movement in your hips and lower back. [Pause 10s] Now change direction and circle your hips counterclockwise. [Pause 15s] Keep the circles calm and controlled, continue breathing evenly. [Pause 10s] --- Now come standing glute contractions. Stand upright, feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent. Push your hips slightly backward and then contract your glute muscles to bring your hips forward. Keep your core tight and your chest lifted. This activates your glute muscles, which are important for stability and power in the golf swing. [Pause 15s] Continue with controlled contractions and focus on strong glute activation. [Pause 10s] Stay upright and feel the tension in your glutes and core. [Pause 10s] --- Now dynamic hamstring sweeps. Stand hip-width apart. Extend one leg straight forward, heel on the ground, toes pointing up. With a straight back, sweep both hands toward your toes and feel a gentle stretch in the back of your thigh. Return to standing and switch legs. Alternate sides at a steady pace. This improves flexibility and prepares your legs for walking on the course. [Pause 15s] Keep switching sides and focus on a gentle stretch with each movement. [Pause 10s] Stay light on your feet and move smoothly, keeping your back straight while stretching. [Pause 10s] --- You are now warmed up and ready for your golf round. A thorough warmup not only helps prevent injuries – it also prepares your muscles and coordination for a smoother, more powerful swing. Take a few practice swings and feel how much more mobile you are. If you warm up before every round of golf, your body and your score will benefit. Have fun on the course and feel free to come back for your next warmup. ---
