Stretches / exercise for the older golfer

[nyckuk]

Im 50 ( old to some young to others ) in a few months and not the most flexible person in the world , ie just about get past my knees trying to touch my toes etc
Ive recently moved clubs and have played a few rounds with some older chaps 60's - 70's , quite a few of them mentioned they do yoga or pilates. And the ones that did were driving the ball with me or 20-30yards past me.
Apart from the golf i also play Badminton once a week and go to the gym twice a week plus use my indoor rower a few times in-between , so haven't got time for yoga and pilates.
But i have got time at the end of the gym sessions to do some stretching exercises etc , I must admit i hardly ever stretch before or after any of my activities i do , which i guess isn't helping me

So im after some exercises probable aimed at hip and back flexibility .... Youtube links would be great

thanks

I have some therabands and use them to warm up before I go to the range or out to play to help

Also good for improving the swing too

Think its about doing what you can within the limits of your own body. These may help as well https://www.nhs.uk/livewell/fitness/documents/NHS_sitting_exercise.pdf

I went to a gym to get lessons on how to do the splits.
The instructor asked me how flexible I was.
I told him I couldn't do Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Seriously, whatever exercise you do, do it gently
