I\'m a physical therapist and certified golf fitness instructor with Golf Fit SOS. I have a golf tip today regarding your hip mobility and stability. I have a great exercise for you that you can do that will actually work on the motion in your hip to produce your follow through and backswing and then we\'ll also give you the stability, or the balance, to maintain that posture. This exercise is called \"The Clock\". This is great to get the motion in your hips and to get the stability. You want to lay down, your head is 12 o\'clock, your feet are six o\'clock. You want to have your arms in a \"T\" position. Your right foot is going to come over, leading with your toe, and you\'re going to hit 5 o\'clock. You want to keep your knees straight in this particular exercise. Then you\'re going to go to 4 o\'clock and then back and lastly you want to hit 3 o\'clock. If you can hit 3 o\'clock and you\'re a right handed golfer, you\'ll have enough motion in that hit to get that good pelvis rotation. With the left leg we\'re going to go 7 o\'clock. Good, and back. You really want to keep the knee straight. Now you\'re going to go to 8 o\'clock. Good. And now to the 9 o\'clock with the left leg, always keeping your arms flat on the ground. You may also feel a little stretch up in your chest area too. To turn this same exercise into more of a stability exercise, all you need to do is grab a ball, you don\'t want a weighted ball, you want a light ball, and you\'re just going to hold the ball above your chest. You want to hold this right above your chest and not let it move. Now you\'re going to repeat with the right let, you\'re going to go 5 o\'clock and back. Then we\'ll go 4 o\'clock. Good. Keeping the knee straight, you can see now lot more core lot more of what we call the inner core, the deep muscles working, and the muscles in the hip. Now we\'re going to go 7 o\'clock [with the left leg]. Good and back. And 8 o\'clock. Good and back. And 9 o\'clock. Good and back. Some of you, when you first start this, you\'ll notice that when you get to the 3 o\'clock and 9 o\'clock and you may get stuck over there. That\'s just showing that you need to work more on your core stabilization or your strength. ******************************** ******************************** We\'re also on Facebook at http://bit.ly/s8GSkS. © Copyright National University System 2012'
