Question from Tim Powers: What are some good stretches for a golfer?

Perfom workouts on alternating basis.

Workout B: 1)Prone Row External Rotation (3 x 8), 2)Seated Rope Row Towards Neck (3 x 10), 3)DB Pullover (3 x12), 4)Back to Back 180 Degree Medicine Ball Rotation Pass (3 x 10), 5)Supine Lower Abdominal Cable Curl (3 x 10).

Answer from Donna Flagg: Definitely a full body stretch is optimal, but for areas best concentrated on for golf, focus on obliques, back, hamstrings and chest.

Answer from The Floppy - The Indoor Golf Ball: Since the shoulder joint is the most active joint in the golf swing, we'd recommend some shoulder stretches. Movements such as arms circles and arm crosses would be great- do those for about a minute each.. You will also need to stretch out your hamstrings and lower back. To loosen your lower back and hamstrings, do some easy toe touches with slightly bent knees.
