00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In this drill video, I'm going to show you how to get warmed up before you hit a bucket

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
of golf balls.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So most people just kind of hop out and shake it off and then start swinging.

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I'm going to show you the important areas we want to get warmed up would be your hips,

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
your core and your shoulders.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So I'm going to run you through a quick warmup for each of those.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
We're going to start with leg swings.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
So you're going to stand on one leg and we're just going to swing the leg back and forth

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
leg so five to ten times.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So I'm going to do it facing away and then facing you just like so.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So five times trying to stay tall so making sure that your upper body is not bending

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
forward backward just like so.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Next one we're going to do is side to side.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
So again, staying tall going as far across my body as I can and then as far out as I can.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Good, then we're going to do circles.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
So you're going to bring one leg up.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
You'll notice that we stayed on the same leg.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
We want to kind of work some of the, yes, the fast-wish muscles but we also want to get the

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
posture muscles which means we got to stay on it for a couple minutes before we're

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
going to really get them activated.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Circle backward.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So ten times each way.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Good.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And then we're going to do a figure eight.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So it's kind of a circle.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
I'll turn sideways so you can see.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So it's going to be a circle circle circle circle circle circle.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Like that.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Okay, so five to ten times on the other side.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
So we're going to leg swings forward backward, concentrating on staying tall with our

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
core slightly active.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Good, then we're going to go side to side.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
And this also gets the ankle and the knee warmed up not just the hip because the leg

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
that I'm standing on is responsible for a lot of balance.

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
This one circle just like so.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Circle backward.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And you can use two sticks if you need.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
You can put your hand on a wall on the golf bag.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
You can challenge it and you can do it with nothing here and now we do figure eight.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Whatever kind of level you're at.

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
That's where you should start.

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Good, so we got those hips nice and loose not.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Now we're going to move on to the core.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So you're going to take your arms, place them across your shoulders.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
We're going to do lower body rotations back and forth, keeping your core active.

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And we're going to do upper body rotations back and forth.

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So just isolating kind of the upper part of your spine.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
We just did the lower part with the lower rotation.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Next one we're going to do Helic Tilt.

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Again, aiming for about five to ten repetitions of each one of these exercises.

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Good, so.

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
You can hear me breathing.

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
We're getting lower body nice and loose, core nice and loose.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Let's go up to shoulders.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So just like the legs we did forward backward side side circles.

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Now we're going to do the same thing.

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So forward backward.

00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
We call these saws.

00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
We're going to do five palms forward.

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Five palms up.

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Five palms down.

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
And when you go backward, I want you to squeeze those shoulder blades together.

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Good, now across or side to side.

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Good, palms down.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And palms up.

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
When I go to work at the US Open and do the events for American Express, we do a lot of

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
teaching people how to warm up.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Next one we'll do with circles.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And you could do just basic arm circles.

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
But I'm going to teach you a fun one.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
But one hand in front, grab with the opposite hand.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Pull as hard as you can and now wall pulling.

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Make a circle.

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Circle backward.

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Advanced circles.

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Now we're going to go forward and crawl backward.

00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Again, aiming for about five of each.

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Back to center.

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Push.

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Now wall pushing.

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
We're going to go side to side.

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Or just circles.

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Whatever way you want to do it.

00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Circle backward.

00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Keep pushing.

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
We're going to crawl and crawl backward.

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Okay.

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Feeling pretty good.

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Let's get the wrist.

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
So push palms together.

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
We're going to go forward and backward just like so.

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Bring your forearms together.

00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Press them together as you raise up overhead.

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
When it starts to get tough, let them separate.

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Restart.

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Press.

00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Good.

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
One more.

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Press.

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Now let's do a couple kind of total body things to get.

00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
You're bringing into great it into loosen up the parts that we have in isolated yet.

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So first one we're going to do shoulders wider than shoulder width apart.

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Arms overhead.

00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
You're going to turn and then slide the club down towards the outside of your heel.

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Move for a second or two and then back up.

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
As a warm up, we're not going to hold these very long.

00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
There's the difference between warming up and stretching.

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Stretching.

00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
You're going to hold 20 30 seconds.

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Warming up.

00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
We're only holding for less than five seconds.

00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It's kind of more constant movement just getting blood flowing, waking up the brain,

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
all those fun things.

00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Last one on this side.

00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Good.

00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Back to center.

00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
We're going to get engulf posture.

00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
You're going to go hold.

00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Back swing position for a few seconds and then go to your finish.

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Back swing hold.

00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Go to finish.

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Back swing hold.

00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Go to finish.

00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Now we're going to do lefty backswing.

00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Hold.

00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Go to lefty finish.

00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Good.

00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Lefty backswing hold.

00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Go to finish.

00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Last one.

00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Lefty backswing hold.

00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Go to finish.

00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Now we got a little sweat going.

00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
We're breathing.

00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
We're ready to hit some golf balls.
