\"fitlander1\"<\/a>Just after my senior year in high school, I aggravated my sciatic nerve – the cause? Too much golf, not enough stretching.<\/p>\n

I had played nearly every day till the end of the school year for my high school team – including tons of chipping practice. Once the school year ended, I continued playing golf and not once did I warm up first.<\/p>\n

Hey, I was 17 years old and thought I was invincible. But, of course, I wasn’t. About a week into summer vacation, I could hardly get out of bed and walking was slow and difficult. I was hobbled like this for nearly two weeks and once I felt good enough to play golf again, I made sure I warmed up beforehand and have (thankfully) never re-aggravated that nerve.\"fitlander2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently, I received a package from Slovakia. What does that have to do with anything? Well, inside the package were two golf warm up guides courtesy of Fitlander.com<\/a>. Though you can tell from their promotional material that English isn’t their first language, the site looks very professional and their product is simple and valuable.<\/p>\n

Their “golf warm up” guide contains eight easy to follow exercises. But there are two things that I really like about this guide: The size – it appears to be the exact size of an iPhone 4\/4S; and a unique technology called lenticular printing – which in effect is a moving hologram. This is key because it demonstrates how the warm-ups should be done. See video below:<\/p>\n
