Riding a bicycle or walking works well. This provides the body with a period of adjustment between rest and the activity. Once you have warmed up at a low intensity for about 5-10 minutes and have gotten your muscles warm, you can now stretch. We recommend stretching both before and after exercise, for different reasons. Stretching after exercise or golf ensures muscle relaxation and facilitates normal resting length, circulation to joint and tissue structures, and removal of unwanted waste products, thus reducing muscle soreness and stiffness.
Body temperature is highest right after cardiovascular exercise or after strength training.
In order to achieve maximum results in range of motion and other benefits, it is highly recommended that you do static stretching at this point in your workout, just after your cardiovascular program and during or after your strength-training program. Stretch Before Golf Stretching before golf should be part of your warm-up. Active or dynamic stretching is crucial in preparing a golfer to perform at their best. Warming up first is essential. Your core body temperature should be raised to avoid injury.
