Hello! My name is Patrick McGuire assistant director instruction at the Chuck Will Golf Academy. Here we are on the ground, getting ready to stretch. This is not the favorite exercise, for most golfers but it is necessary. I am going to show you how to stretch, your hip flex in a basic fashion and two different exercises and the basic way is to start, let your body tell you how much you can do.
The first thing I’m going to be doing; I’ll show you from this side is basically getting into a stance like this, where I’m going to bend my knee and try to lean in, keeping my upper body kind of tight in my stomach and straighten my back and lean forward and I’m really trying, to stretch this muscle right here. You may feel it in your glute, but it's mostly going to be right here. Obviously you want to do the opposite leg. And again just try to go as far as your body will let you.
If your body tightens up just relax a little bit, then try to go little further, don't bounce and try to hold it for as long as you can, 30 seconds is minimum. And then come back up, do it again probably do at least 15 of these on each leg. And it’s a good exercise you should start doing every morning. Hamstring in the hip-flexor in the low back are all connected. So if you stretch those equally your whole body will start to straighten out.
Again, showing you this exercise from this side. The next one is more for the psoas in hip-flexor as well. What I’m doing is crossing my knees over and getting in line and then I am going to reach back with my back foot and go as far back as I can and try to get flat to the ground. Again, trying to keep your back straight, just sit into that leg again, try to hold. You’ll feel this on the outside of your hip and some on the inside of the hip. Both legs again 10 or 15 times each side.
