Tight hip flexors can cause numerous issues such as lower back stiffness, poor posture, and incorrect swing mechanics when teeing off for that long drive. Albeit a common problem among many people, there are many ways of correcting this issue. Let Carolina show you a quick fix for this nagging problem so you can possibly save yourself a trip to the doctor! Let us know how you do and if you have any other questions regarding your fitness needs.
In this video Carolina is demonstrating how to properly activate your glutes while also increasing range of motion in the shoulders. Use this as an exercise in the gym or prior to teeing off to help get your body ready to swing.
Keep your glutes contracted throughout the entire movement, while also keeping your abdominals tight to keep your back from arching. While bringing the club overhead, only go as far as you feel comfortable. Your range of motion will improve with time and practice.
Happy golfing!
Chris and Carolina
