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.

3 for Thursday Health and Fitness Reads

posted on August 18th, 2011, by Rich. Comments Off posted so far.

Here are this week’s health reads:

This youtube video (no reading!) from MyTPI discusses golf fitness exercises to help improve your ability to hit solid shots from uneven lies and from the bunker. Great tips- you should try them.

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%.

And that concludes this week’s edition of Three for Thursday.  As always, I’d love to hear what you think about it, ways to make it more valuable to you or maybe just your thoughts on today’s posts.
