The winter months for those of us in the northern hemisphere are characterized by a great degree of immobility. In other words, we hibernate and don't move much.

And that doesn't do a great deal for our bodies. Not only is weight gain in winter a common problem, but so too is an increased lack of flexibility.

Now, we all know as golfers that we must be flexible to make a decent turn away from the ball. And we all know - or should know! - that we need flexibility in the hips to generate the downswing.

Katherine Roberts is a well-known name in golf fitness circles. She is a yoga expert and instructor but is also now involved with bio-mechanics.

She is beginning a series of articles and accompanying embedded videos on The Golf Channel's website.

And, appropriately, her first installment revolves around those hips!
