ALICIA ZELLER, RAISING Z BAR FITNESS
Playing golf during the winter months can add extra havoc to your golf game. Your body is cold with frozen fingers, the ground is hard, not to mention the extra layers you may have on. When you play golf during the winter months, it is imperative you stretch and warm up before you approach the first tee box. The most effective stretches you can do to warm your body up is “Dynamic stretches”. Dynamic stretches are different from “static” stretches. Dynamic stretches are movement based stretches that prepare your muscles and joints for use. There is no holding in a position as the traditional “static” stretch. Dynamic stretching will help improve performance in your sport, increases full range of motion, and decreases the risk of injury. Doing dynamic stretches will help raise your body heat by circulating the blood and oxygen to your muscles, loosen your muscles and lubricate your joints. A few dynamic stretches you can do beforehand or while you’re playing are:

ARM CIRCLES
Advertise your business in ClubLife!
Raise your arms to shoulder level and start making circles with your hand at moderate speed and then widen your circle. Reverse directions
TORSO TWIST Hold your driver overhead with hands wide as possible, and twist your body side to side. Slight bend in your knees and keep your hips and legs stable, core is engaged as you twist your body back and forth.
LEG SWINGS Hold a club at your side if you need it for balance and swing your leg front to back. Repeat on the other side.

Aim for 15-20 reps for each exercise. If you find yourself “freezing” while playing, run/jog in place or do jumping jacks for a minute until your body warms up. Keep in mind that dynamic stretches will help your golf game during all seasons of the year. These stretches will prepare your body before you play. Allow 5-7 minutes of stretching as part of your warmup. During the winter months it’s imperative you warm up your muscles to avoid injury.
