Golflexx advises golfers to stretch it out

How often have you jumped out of your car, raced to the tee box, grabbed your clubs, and furiously swung them back and forth in order to 'loosen up'? Golf is a game of timing and repetition. Muscles need to be in perfect harmony in order to repeat the desired swing on an ongoing basis. Stretching before your round prepares your body for the physical demands you are about to put it through. This translates into a more efficient swing, and will decrease the chances of getting injured.

One of the lovely benefits of getting older is decreased flexibility. Decreased flexibility means that instead of reaching for your 7 iron, you now hit with your 5 iron. Stretching will allow you to regain some of those losses, and enable you to maintain your flexibility longer.

Golflexx is the only stretching device that is designed for golfers. Golflexx is available three different resistance levels. Choose from our stiff, medium or light flex. Starting from 20 pounds of resistance with our light flex, to up to 65 pounds of beneficial muscle resistance with our stiff flex Golflexx, we have a resistance that is best for you for only $29.95.

Golflexx is easy to use, fits right in your bag, it's inexpensive, and it works says Jeremy Hilliard a regular Golflexx user.

Included with your Golflexx is an instructional DVD designed by Dr. Don Fox. Dr. Fox runs the Fox clinic of the Chiropractic Arts in Oregon and has studied the mechanics of the golf swing and its impact on the human body for over ten years.

Something to remember with all the stretches we designed. The secret to stretching properly is to find your maximum position and hold that position for 30 seconds or so. Bouncing during a stretch is a dangerous practice, and likely to cause injury. Hold your stretch without bouncing to increase your range of motion.

Stretching on a regular basis is extremely important for your overall health, let alone golf. Give yourself at least 5 minutes of stretching before you hit your first ball on the range, and try not to rush through them. When you finally get to the point where you are about to hit some range balls, pull out one of your higher clubs (8 iron or higher) and hit some half shots until you feel loose. With a little bit of stretching and some warm up time, you can eventually work your way up to the almighty driver.

An often forgotten and underestimated aspect of stretching is that it is equally important to stretch when you are finished golfing. Your body will thank you the next day.
