Lower Back Rotational Golf Stretch In Office
September 17, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
I’ve heard all the “excuses” to not exercise. Notice how I called them excuses. That’s what they. I want to prove this theory by showing you a simple, very effective golf stretch you do in your office WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF YOUR CHAIR! Now there is NO WAY you can give me the excuse of “lack of time”. You (and I) sit in our office chairs 8-10 hours a DAY.
I have found that when I stay moving while I’m at the computer my body feels so much better, and my energy level stays very high. AND…my aches and pains are not there when I do these simple golf stretches.
I strongly advise you to do this one and then slowly add some more throughout the day targeting different areas of your body. You’ll be amazed at how fast your pain will go away, and how much BETTER you feel, when you take 15 seconds out of your day and do these simple stretches.
I call this simple stretch the Seated Twist:

Instructions:
- Sit upright in your office chair, with chest high and back straight.
- Reach behind you with one arm, which will rotate your upper body.
- While staying very erect, twist as far as you can go and hold.
- Twist the other way and repeat.
- Go both sides 2-3 times, holding for 10 seconds.
Benefits to the golf swing:
- Increase rotation of trunk for an improve “x-factor”.
- Loosen up lower back, to reduce strain and tightness, freeing up golf swing.
- Improve ability to rotate upper body over a “fixed” lower body, like in your swing.
This is not some mysterious stretch, as you probably have seen it before, and if so, can I ask if you do it regularly? If not, do it right now, and then a couple of times each day.
This is one stretch out of many in my Total Golf Stretching Downloadable Ebook.
