5 out of 5 stars Great book   June 16, 2008
This item arrived quickly and in good condition. The exercises in this book would improve play for more golfers than most if not all 'how to' books on the market. Great book!

5 out of 5 stars Golf Specific Workout Circuit   January 21, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

We've learned that our bodies after awhile get used to same exercises and so diminishing returns creep in. This golf specific trainer has developed a circuit oriented training schedule specifically targeted for golf muscles and conditioning them.

One needs to invest in some equipment or have it available at workout facility, i.e. physioball, medicine ball, resistance bands, soccer ball, dumbbells, etc. The investment for these is not large, but is necessary to do most of these. Also, some of the exercises look to an appartus found in gym settings where pully resistance machines are available.

The cycle of eleven days has some rest in it, and room for golf and cardiovascular work which is nice. The rotation has increasing rep schedules and stepped up exercises on many of the stretches.

There is also a great pre-round stretch routine, as well as some recommened range drills. Good photo illustrations and instructions add greatly to the usability.

For most all golfers this is great workout routine, and results will follow after your first eleven day cycle, and multiply after continuous recycling.



5 out of 5 stars Great help for beginners   July 17, 2007
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I am a beginner "older" golfer and didn't feel in very good shape for golfing. The muscles used for the golf swing are very different than what we usually use. This book was excellent for showing me stretches to get my body in shape. What I especially like about it is that it also gives really good golf tips as well as staying in shape tips. I highly recommend it for anyone just starting out golfing or experienced golfers as well.


4 out of 5 stars Helpful to me...   March 9, 2007
 9 out of 10 found this review helpful

As an ACE-certified personal trainer who has no knowledge of golf with a client interested in improving their golf game, this book was very helpful to me. It not only showed me what steps a golfer needs to make for set-up, swing, etc., it also showed me exercises to specifically help in each step. The book shows how to perform these sports-specific exercises and tells me why my client needs to do them.
