Product Description

Transform your body-and improve your game! This unique regimen will get you into "golf shape" so you can hit the ball longer, straighter, and with more consistency-with Cindy Reid's 11-day fitness program.

The golf swing is a simple motion. But it is not easy, Cindy Reid explains, because it is one of the most unnatural motions you will ever attempt. Only when you have retrained your body to automatically perform the specific muscle movements required for golf will you begin to develop the consistency every golfer strives for.

Reid, a former LPGA player and one of the great teachers of the game (Vijay Singh is one of her clients), combines golf swing theory with fitness exercises in a book that will revolutionize golf instruction. Here Reid:
o identifies the seven fundamental positions of the golf swing-and gives you drills to practice, on and off the course-to help you reach each position without conscious thought
o teaches you exercises that reshape your body into the ideal form for golf
o shares stretching routines and range drills to further elevate your game
There are 34 million golfers in America, and 90 percent of them can't break 100. Reid is convinced they can all improve their scores by getting into golf shape.

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!

Golf Specific Workout Circuit - Reviewed on 2008-01-21

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.

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.

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.
