Golf stretching exercises are designed to help improve your flexibility on the golf course as well as your range of motion during your back swing. While many people perform golf stretches to prevent pulled muscles and other injuries, others perform golf stretches to elongate and loosen up their swings. Golf stretching exercises range from arm stretches to torso stretches.
Supported Squats
This stretching exercise is designed to increase overall blood flow in your body and bring your heart rate up, according to Sport Fitness Advisor. Walk up to a pole or wall that is tall enough to be level with your abdomen. Place both hands on top of the wall, making sure that they are covering each other. Take your left leg and bend it up over your right leg so that it is locked in with your right knee cap. Hold this position while performing 10 squats. Each squat should bring you at eye level with the top of the wall or pole. Perform three sets of 10 before resting.
Reaching Lateral Side Stretch
This basic side stretch is designed to loosen up your back muscles as well as your arms. Stand up straight with your knees slightly bent and your legs shoulder width apart. Place your left hand on your left hip and extend your right arm up over your head. Bend your body to the left, using your right arm to stretch your body as far as it can go. Make sure that your right hand is arching directly over your head while you are performing this stretch. Stretch to the right side by switching the roles of both of your arms. Hold each stretch for 10 to 20 seconds before stopping.
Reach Down Tricep Stretch
This stretch is designed to help loosen up your tricep muscles. Start by standing in front of a mirror with your back straight and your legs shoulder width apart. Take both of your arms and place them behind your head, bending at the elbows to form a 45 degree angle. Clasp your hands together directly behind your neck, intertwining your fingers to create a solid and locked position. While in this position push down toward the ground with both of your hands, stretching out your triceps as well as your biceps. Hold this stretch for five to 10 seconds before letting go.
