Great Book for Golf, which you can apply to entire lifestyle, Feb 25 2008

This review is from: Core Performance Golf: The Revolutionary Training and Nutrition Program for Success On and Off the Course (Hardcover)
I am a 24 year old former collegiate golfer, and this book is probably one of the best I have read for golf specific training. The exercises are described well and the workouts are easy to follow. There is also a nutrition section which talks about how to be healthier day to day as well as what to eat pre / during a round. For anyone looking to increase flexibility, strength, power, eat better, prevent injury, this book is a must.
Just a side note, but the movement prep sequence for the workouts / pre round are worth the price of this book itself. I will never workout or play golf again without completing the Movement Prep beforehand, it is the best stretching / warm up routine I have seen.
I highly recommend this book.

This is a great book for exercises you can do at home to help you core muscles and build muscle strength. Easy reading and picture exercise description. Would recommend this for every golfer to help reduce body injury while golfing.

This is a comprehensive plan to build your core, improve your balance and get in shape for golf (and other sports). Mark touches on many aspects of sports preparation including nutrition and stretching. This holistic approach gives you all the keys to succeed and allows you to create a plan that fits you. There is some product promotion, but it doesn't detract from the wealth of information provided.
