Jon Rahm and his trainer Spencer Tatum take you through his daily movement prep, an ideal routine for any golfers to perform pre-workout and pre-round.
Very generous from this athlete. Straight, simple, just daily discipline. These guys are not good for nothing. Congratulations Jon for 2023 Augusta national.🎉
Adding this video to my saved vids until I commit it to memory. Something tells me this is more important than ten minutes at the range before a round. Thanks, Jon and Spencer! Now go get that first Major!
During RDL, when he does the left leg on the ground, if he can sense left heel and mid foot, it will be more beneficial!!!!! Watch out where his head is compared with left and right RDL. Obvious that his brain liked going to the right side. Great exercises tho!
Really? Well there ya go. I try and make that my only swing thought. In on the backswing and out on the downswing. Same kinda idea as delivering a punch in martial arts and helps keep your mind quiet during the swing.
wothless on the ground ex. stand up to functionally work the core. then all he did was sagitalplane movements when golf is frontal and transverse plane mostly. I have to think he does other stuff just not filmed.
From a golf physical therapists perspective, it is interesting to see how much activation and body awareness this warm up routine involves. The average golfer, I find, benefits from more mobility movements because they are coming from the office after having sat all day. Plus they don't have freakish mobility like the pros have developed.
These are killer exercises that are useful not only for golfer or any athletes but everybody really, from office people to manual labor people. IMO weights and fitness are overrated but these kind of corrective exercises are extremely underrated and are needed badly by people with muscle imbalances which is vast majority. Its really detrimental to go do any kind of exercises without first correcting the imbalances. I myself have to do similar to these daily to keep my anterior pelvic tilt and all three segments of the spine in check and also lats and pecs tightness, all effects of sitting or stooped over work.
During this virus thing, I have been working on some golf muscles and swing mechanics (mechanics freed up via better golf muscles) as opposed to just going to the course. Finally had a round and shot my best round in 6 years (about 10stokes better than current norm with nothing worse than bogey). This stuff works. Will see Sunday if the last score was just a fluke or if I can follow up with a similar round...thanks Jon rahm. Always interesting to see what the pros do to play the game on such a different level!
Wow! I am pumped to hear this helped your game. Thanks, sharing. Are you still doing the warm-up? If so, is it still helping? We are glad it helped your game. ~Spencer
Awesome jon! Thanks for your tips. I was thinking about you these days... How will jon train? We perform you are human like us haha ... your trainig encourage us to be better citizens being at home ... and better golfers being physically fit. We miss you! All the best, Manu
Honestly, I ignored it for so long, but once I made a conscious effort to doing a nightly stretch and movement routine, my golf game exploded...huge benefit, you just cam get into positions I'n your swing you couldn't before
Good stuff !!! I'll add this after my yoga workout. Any tips on strengthening the right muscles for golf? Don't want to bulk up but want to get stability and more punch. Thank you!!!
The body is a system. There are no "muscles for golf". Get stronger, this will help. Squats, deadlifts, presses. Building muscle will not decrease flexibility- quite the contrary.
Not easy for a 72 yr old man a bit overweight to do. Did my best but failed miserably! I think I need a pre warmup to have any luck doing this warmup if that makes any sense?
John Rahm you might feel like your R leg is your nemesis in that RDL but the problem stems from the lack of any chest rotation on that side. Standing on your L leg as you take your R leg back notice the subtle turning of your chest that orients your sternum to the standing leg and has you take your L arm back. When you try the exercise on the R leg you don’t do this which makes your leg work harder and feel like it’s your nemesis. Pay close attention to the whole body when doing the easier leg to teach the other leg. Another learning strategy is to try and reproduce the difficulty on your better leg, to mimic the less clever side, to feel how you organise to do make it hard. Then don’t do that. Love the the video. Thanks.
Jon, thanks for this video. I play with a 5 handicap living in Puerto Montt, Chile. Saludos! I have a question -- I presume this is just part of your fitness regime -- could you describe how this stretch routine meshes with your overall fitness program? Thanks, Matt
