When a professional arrives on the course to start their warmup, it’s simple to neglect that a few of their hardest work has ben finished already.

Permit reigning U.S. Open champ Jon Rahm to offer an instance.

Over the weekend, the Titleist Efficiency Institute, which was co-founded by GOLF Prime 100 Instructor Dave Phillips (who doubles as Jon Rahm’s swing coach), shared this video of the World No. 2 working onerous within the fitness center.

You possibly can watch your complete video under, however there’s a couple of attention-grabbing tidbits that stand out to me:

First, discover how a lot motion every train incorporates — a lot that Rahm is working up a sweat doing it. That’s as a result of what we’re seeing Rahm doing is a dynamic warmup. Relatively than stretching in place, dynamic warmups require getting your coronary heart pumping at the next price, and so they’re far-and-away the type of pre-round workout routines lecturers advocate essentially the most.

Second, be aware of what number of completely different rotation workout routines Rahm is doing. Twisting and turning and bending; that’s what a golf swing is, in its important elements, and any warmup price its salt has a number of these.

Lastly, Rahm isn’t utilizing particularly heavy weights with any of those workout routines. That’s as a result of the main focus is on mobility. Getting your muscle tissue “activated” earlier than your spherical. Warmed up in a means the place they’re switched on, and may transfer in a number of completely different instructions.
