Liesbeth Pauwels shares her plan to help you reduce the body stiffness that tends to set in after playing a round of golf.
Let's talk about cooling down.
What stretches to do post 18 holes?
And how to start integrating them?
Let me begin by saying: Whether or not you already integrate a cooling down after practice, a lesson or a round, the fact remains: it already dictates the next round results.

Cooling down key takeaways:
It is an amazing tool for recovery and reducing stiffness, but its not a one-stop fix for everything. Let it compliment your other fitness, golf and yoga routines: don’t just replace them.
Practice the stretches at home so you’ll feel more confident doing them on the course.
Consistency and compliance matter the most for active recreative golfers. Complicated, too much or highly advanced stretches are therefore next level pro strategies.
Make it easy. Draw or make a note on your scorecard so you'll be reminded of the cooling down at the green of the (9th or) 18th.
Immediately sitting down after a round could be the least sustainable action to do.
Limited mobility (through not integrating a golf warming up & cooling down) could be the key leading factor holding you back.
Allowing yourself to take a brief moment to stretch and breathe after a round will result in a stronger & more enjoyable body - mind - game.
