Warming Up For Drills

[Patch]

I am not actually playing much golf right now. We have been in the cold north for a while. Most courses are either closed, or under snow. If a found course is open, it's been just too darn cold. 

Since I do something with a golf club just about every day of the year, the past several days, I have been doing various drills. 

Usually first thing in the morning I do some stretching, and other warm up stuff. These days, just jumping out of bed, and hitting the bricks is not as easy as it use to be.

Now sometimes, before doing an important golf swing drill, if I havn't already, I will do some warming up. It's s my opinion that starting drills from a warmed up mind, and body, helps with these drills. Makes them stick with me better so to speak. 

Opinions?

Being an Ol' guy myself, the first thing for me is a HOT shower.
Then I'll stretch the legs, back, shoulders, neck areas and wrists and hands.
On cooler days, additional layers help keep the back area warm.
I'll also like using Advil when needed, and I'll use a cold therapy rub when the body is sore from the prior days activities.

Also, I have a heat / massage vibrating chair mat for days when I'll have those lingering aches in the lower back area.

I'll mainly concentrate on the areas which are sore or stiff before even picking up a club.
I also use light weights for stretching and rubber elastic bands.
Finish with a weighted ball rotational motions and stretching.

Then a quick bite and I'm usually ready for my days activities.
