6 Mobility Exercises For Golfers Over 60

[@beaufitz8993]

Very good low impact exercise for my 68 year old golfer body! Excellent!!

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Glad you liked them!

[@malcolmlewis7987]

I’ve watched a few golf stretching videos recently. I like how this one sticks to 6 exercises and works on both mobility and stability. Saved.

[@U4Eye]

I am in my late 60's and went on Keto lifestyle and lost 50lbs. and workout everyday and new to golfing and I go to the driving range every day and my back was so sore for a week after going to a range without stretching.. NOW I will do All these stretches Before I golf..

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Great job taking ACTION! Really concentrate on the hips, about 80% of the golfers I see with lower back pain have tight hips, which puts a lot of stress on the lower back

[@m3mikec]

Been at it for a couple of weeks now and already noticing better movement, I’m 70! Balance is still tough but I’m sure it will follow as my stability strengthens. Watched many different instructors but yours is my go to!! Thanks for sharing, cheers.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Great job! Keep it up Mike!

[@jamesedwards3266]

My golf game has been declining in recent years and my friend (PGA pro) give me a Tour striker smart ball to use. I'm 62 years old and it's made me realise how inflexible and stiff I've become. I'm going to give your exercises a good go. Thanks from sunny Wales.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad to hear we're reaching golfers all over the world. These will definitely help you move better. Remember to be consistent

[@grandpagolf]

In my country, two golfers out of three is 50+, 40% over 60. Your vid is the first ever I Come across. It should be translated and posted here around to every local YT golfer fan.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you, glad you like it! Which country do you live in?

[@grandpagolf]

@@HansenFitnessForGolf France. Nearly half a million golfers.

[@georgeholmes4753]

This is AWESOME! You don’t need a gym!

[@rapidcabin]

Such an important part of the game as we cross the 60 threshold. Thanks you HansenFitnessGolf

[@josemorales-er5eh]

The best exercise Ive ever done for my balance and stability improvement. Im looking forward for a better outcome on my over flexibility.Thanks from the Philippines...

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. Glad to hear we're reaching the Philippines!

[@Zach-hm6ky]

I'm 30 and a beginner at golf. I've never been very flexible but these movements are perfect for what I am looking for and how I can improve at home without a club in my hand. More mobility means smoother movements.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you Zach! Glad it's helping

[@cmalc8]

This is exactly what I need (late 60s). In the fetal position exercise, my hand is a foot from the ground on one side and 18" on the other, plus neck mobility is even worse. Not tried the rest yet, but now I understand why I'm down to 80mph. Will be working on this, THANK YOU !

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you! I hope it's working for you

[@dianneberry6585]

Wow. So much of this sounds just like what I'm struggling with.

[@Lschraeder]

Thank you for offering such sound advice.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

My pleasure Les. It's no fun when you can't play to the level you know you should, because of physical limitations. Hopefully these help some get there!

[@elizabethwilfong2260]

Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

You're welcome! We're sure they'll help!

[@paulsobolewski4962]

Let the games begin! I'm on the back side of 67. Thanks for the video!

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

You got this Paul! Many retire thinking they're going to play more golf, but the body has different plans! It's a great time focus on the #1 piece of equipment!

[@TerjeGaupseth]

Thanks from Norway! 😀

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Our pleasure! Happy to hear we're reaching golfers around the world!

[@simonsingh2408]

Wow Mike thank you what a great video and explantion of the exercises I just started to work with a couple of golfers, firstly I saw balance problems those movements are great Thanks again Mike🙏

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank You! Glad to help

[@jimgilmore7391]

Well done. Very comprehensive and doable.👍

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@tjarko9585]

Thank you 🤗

[@hartwood9078]

I hit the driving range for the first time this year, (I’m 62) man it was ugly! I recognized the same things you are addressing. I will be doing these stretches for sure. Funny how my brain still thinks I am 30! Thanks for the help!

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thanks Dan, glad you found these, no doubt they'll help. Keep thinking your 30 and the body will catch up:)

[@martyepperly5803]

I know that feeling!🤣

[@quantumpotential7639]

You're not getting older. You're getting better. 💪

[@pete9688]

Life saver! Thanks for the video. I can feel the difference after a few sessions during my practice!! My biggest problem was my balance at my finish. I’m 61.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank You! Glad it helped!

[@bdhanak1]

Thank you for sharing. Great exercises.

[@chrissarris5507]

Love these thanks so much

You are so welcome!

[@davidkraithman9443]

Just what I need. Thanks.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

We appreciate the feedback!

[@georgehay1764]

Very good and thanks to Mr Hansen. What has been most impressive is how much the standing on one leg has become. A side product has been that my back has also eased off. Not sure at my age-84 there will be an improvement to my game but do like the routine.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you George! I am happy to hear it's helping. You can get better at any age. Keep up the great work!

[@charlespouliot4003]

Great tips 😊

[@marymckenna5524]

Looking to increase strength, balance and flexibility but avoiding rounding my upper back and this is the first of your videos that I have watched. Looks doable. Been over 20 years since I have played and I will be making small movements at first. Baby steps!! Thanks for the video!

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank You Mary! Check out the rest of our videos, we focus on all those things as well as improving your posture. We are currently building our playlists, so stay tuned.

[@tomburns9732]

Great sets. I'll be working on them . Thanks for the vid

[@jamie00091]

Should rename this top 6 drills for golfers as I'm only 30 and it's been a big help!

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

So glad it helps. Yes, they’re great at any age for sure💪

[@personal1126]

This is awesome!!! Thank you so much.

[@chrisgrady4795]

Great stuff. Thanks!!

My pleasure!

[@farside51]

Great video for this 72 year old. The one exercise standing on one leg is tough. I’m going to have to work on that one. The others I can do but need to increase my range of motion. Thank you for this video. It’s a keeper in my library.🏌️

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

We love it! Thanks for the feedback, John. Keep it up, it gets easier with consistency!

[@gailgiroux8036]

Can’t wait to try these. They all make so much sense to me, thank you!

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

You're welcome Gail. Let us know how they go for you!

[@dakotalake9084]

Thank you for this video. Could you do one where you do the entire routine, not just a couple of each exercises?

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Sure thing! We will film it this week!

[@martyepperly5803]

I'm 68 and haven't played a round since Hurricane Harvey in '17. I'm stiff as a board and I have arthritis in my dominant wrist. I think I can deal with the arthritis if I I can loosen up. Thanks for the tips. I just subscribed. Too bad you're not just down the street from me.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thanks Marty. The more you move the better you'll feel, even with the arthritis. We have remote training available www.hansenfitnessforgolf.com/coachingapp if you're interested. Thanks for subscribing, were in the process of filming more content

Today as our season is nearly over here in the Midwest, I was looking for some new exercises to add to my winter fitness program. Next spring I'll be 80 and want to shoot my age. I had two 80's this year but couldn't shoot a 79...and think is was the swaying in my swing, due to glute and core strength (or lack of)...really think your exercises will help solve my swing weaknesses, plus cut down on glute and hamstring pain. Next, I would like to see your ideas on swing speed exercises..my shots are getting woefully shorter with each passing golf year.

[@quantumpotential7639]

After age 75 you're allowed to play from the red tees. Knowing the rules helps. Had you known this, you probably would have consistently broke your age every time you teed it up for the past five years, potentially putting you in the Guinnes Book of World Records for number of times a person broke his age. You should not be punished for your age, but equalized by the adjusted tees to accommodate for lack of length at age 75 and beyond. If you're breaking your age today, it's probably because you have an excellent short game and good overall matured and seasoned course management skills, which distance aside, says to me you're easily good enough from 150 in to be a PGA Tour player. Now let us pray for the adjustment so you can move forward in your noble quest to make this age breaking event a paradigm shift for the four minute miler in all of us. Thanks.

[@jesterbee]

Thank you. Yes, I play from the senior tees and have for a few years. But my distance issues doesn’t create many greens in regulation. You are right tho, i work very hard on pitching, chipping and putting. Your exercises are key to keeping my flexibility. Thanks again for your program.

[@quantumpotential7639]

I wanna caddie for you on the day you break your age. Can you meet me in Pinehurst?

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Thank you Jess. The main reason I see older golfers lose distance is lack of balance and mobility on the lead side. Many times the swing is slowed down before impact because of the lack of balance and mobility. Strength can also be an issue when applying the breaks after impact. These are all good things to focus on this off-season. Best of luck to you and I am happy you are finding value in our programs.

[@mikes659]

Would these be ok for someone with spinal stenosis

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Mike, let me preface this by saying I am not a doctor and don't know the severity of your stenosis. I do know that getting more hip and thoracic mobility along with glute strength will take a ton of stress off the lower back during the swing. Like anything when it comes to exercising, listen to your body, if the exercise causes increased pain, it's probably more harm than good. To answer your question, yes they would help as long as they don't cause more pain for you.

[@StephenWoodworth-z2s]

Fantastic

[@caall392]

Should this be done everyday? How often? Thanks

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Yes, these can be done everyday. Shoot for 4-7 days per week

[@ronhuckemeyer3850]

How many times a week should I work the legs. I'm very sore a few days later and difficult to work again soon after. I'm 67

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

The best thing to do is listen to your body. You can stretch daily, but when you are building muscle it is best to let them recover. 48-72 hours after is a good benchmark, the soreness will subside if you keep at it. Also, drink a lot of water, it will help with recovery

[@markberger8122]

how many times per week should the exercises be done? Just starting out.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Mark, shoot to do this 2-3 non-consecutive days per week. This is a great program for someone just starting out.

[@ianhenderson2668]

Question from a stiff 60 year old….how often should you look to do these exercises and should you do all of them in one session.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

You want to develop a routine to do them everyday, but you don't want to set yourself up for failure. So, the easy answer is to try and do them as often as possible. Yes, you can do them all in one session.

[@scottpiggott7600]

When I do your first back stretch, I can feel it pull at my left hip. Will this eventually stretch out or should I do something else? Thanks.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Hi Scott. Yes, it will get better with consistency. The muscles connect from the arm to the hip and you will feel it where you are tightest. It is very common to feel it in the hip. Keep up with the stretch and it will start to feel easier and then let me know because I have a way to make it a little more difficult.

[@garyclifford2965]

Okay, so how do I get up from the floor now?

[@joechamberlain9246]

Is this something you can do every day or do you need Recovery day? I started today and, holy cow, my balance is horrible.

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

You can do this everyday, for sure!

[@golfinspired2058]

Do these at lease 3 times a week. The body has to get used to them as it resists change, but over time it slowly lets go. Be patient. Better to spend 10 minutes in a session 3 x a week then a half hour once every 3 weeks LOL

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

Well Said! Thank you!

[@marcussheldon9220]

Hi I’m a 63 year old golfer is it possible at my age to be as flexible as you.???? Thanks

[@HansenFitnessForGolf]

I can't answer that, but I can guarantee if you work at it you can become more flexible than you are now.

[@marcussheldon9220]

@@HansenFitnessForGolf Is it best to stretch every day?

[@mpaczkow]

A lot of exercises require kneeling. As someone who had a knee replacement and was recommended by the surgeon not to kneel, these exercises or stretches are not for me. Looking for ways to do similar stretches without kneeling.
