In golf, the hip muscles are an often overlooked and underdeveloped muscle group necessary for longer drives, and consistent shot making.
Hip muscles add consistency and power to your golf swing, by stabilizing the lower body. Lower body stability is critical for the trunk and arms to generate club head speed and thus power to the golf swing.
For more power and stability in your golf game add these exercises to your regular exercise program.

Exercise provides many benefits for those dealing with or surviving cancer. From a personal standpoint, I have seen this first hand in the clinic. Appropriate exercise for those dealing with cancer is uplifting, gives patients a sense of control, gives them something positive to do, promotes increased energy and better function.
Researchers show that 15 minutes of exercise a day can increase life expectancy by 3 years and decrease risk of death by 14%.
