Stiffness and soreness can limit your swing, reduce consistency, and make golf less enjoyable. Here are three simple mobility exercises to help your body move more freely before or after a round:

  • Lunge with a Twist: Step into a lunge and rotate your upper body toward your lead leg. This exercise opens your hips and thoracic spine while improving balance and rotational mobility.
  • 90/90 Hip Mobility Drill: Move between the 90/90 seated hip positions to increase hip internal and external rotation — key for making a more efficient golf swing.
