So, I hear this from golfers all the time:
“I’m just so stiff now.”
Maybe.
But, here’s another possibility…
Your body has simply gotten really good at doing the things you ask it to do every day.
Sit at a desk.
Sit in the car.
Sit on the couch.
Walk around a little.
Repeat.
Then Saturday morning rolls around and suddenly you want your hips to rotate, your shoulders to turn, your feet to react and your body to produce speed.
And your body basically says…
We haven’t done this all week.
That’s one of the reasons I believe so strongly in doing a little bit of movement every single day.
Doesn’t need to be an hour-long workout.
Doesn’t need to be a brutal stretching routine.
Just move your body through positions you don’t normally use.
Here’s something to try today:
Stand up.
Reach both arms overhead as high as you can.
Squat down as comfortably as you can.
Rotate your upper body five times each direction.
Then balance on each leg for 20 seconds.
That’s it.
It might take two minutes.
But you’ve just asked your body to reach, squat, rotate and stabilize.
Four things you’re going to ask it to do on the golf course.
Your body adapts to what you repeatedly ask it to do.
So, if you want to keep moving like an athlete…
You have to keep giving your body opportunities to be athletic.
That’s a huge part of what we’re doing with Athletic Restoration inside 18STRONG+.
We’re not trying to turn you into someone you weren’t.
We’re trying to help you GET IT BACK.
