6 Daily Mobility Exercises to Prepare Your Body

If you find yourself stiff when waking up in the morning, barely able to move after sitting at the office all day, or consistently having to end the golf season early due to nagging injuries. It’s safe to say that you’re not abnormal if any of these are common complaints, or for hoping that you don’t tweak your back after the first swing at the range.

Golf is a dynamic sport, forcing your body to absorb and adapt to the stress of a repetitive swing reaching speeds for many of 100 mph plus, or in Bryson’s case speeds over 125 mph!

So, here’s six daily mobility exercises (Three for your lower, three for your upper) that you can do at home or before you play to make sure your body is primed to move in each plane of motion both on and off the course!
