FOAM ROLLING FOR GOLFERS OTL / FITNESS
STORY BY LEAH GRUBER PHOTOS BY: FELIPE TELONA JR.
Have you ever woken up in the morning with a stiff achy body and wondered how you’re going to go play golf? The mornings can be hard for me to move if I have recently played a lot of golf, worked out hard the day before, or just because I’m getting older. Foam rolling is a great way to wake up your body before your golf round. It gently gets the blood circulating and loosens up your muscles so your body feels ready to move. Reasons Why you Should Foam Roll:
1. Increases range of motion your golf swing 2. Decreases tension & inflammation in your muscles 3. It can reduce muscle soreness 4. Improves muscle performance & blood circulation
These are my three favorite foam rolling exercises to get my body ready for golf. These foam rolling exercises help warm up your back, hips, and legs, helping to increase the range of motion and mobility for your golf swing.
