Complete Conditioning for Golf (Complete Conditioning for Sports)

This is my 2nd purchase of this Book / DVD. I purchased it for my pro instructor who has new interest in fitness. This workout is great from so many aspects of golf fitness. It is separated into sections targeting areas like, shoulder cuff, core, power enhancement, etc. As are result, each workout can be tailored to target areas and time allotted. I wish they had more books and DVD's available!

This is a great book for golf because all the exercises are geared towards golf. The DVD shows you which part of your swing benefits from a particular exercise. Buy it and take your game to a higher level. Also, it will minimize golf related injuries.

Covers great exercises for your swing.

High quality advice and directions. It gives info for golfers of all levels and abilities!

A comprehensive tool for building the physical part of your game. The "golf-specific exercises on the DVD are very helpful. All in all, quite a bargain.Note that the reviews listed prior to June of 2007 are for a different book, one that is now out-of-print.

This book is excellent & has the most up to date exercise techniques for golfers. The DVD is also very helpful so you can actually see the exercises being done.

Although comprehensive there is notheing new here. Core Perfomance for golf is probably better organized and of a higher quality. It is distracting when one of Complete Conditioning's demonstrators looks so enemic. Play Golf forever also offers more detailed workouts.

I have nothing further to add to the higher rated reviews, what they say is all true; I just don't think it deserves more than 3 stars. here's why.I think this is more of a sport-science book - useful to instructors or personal trainers - than a guide for consumers. This is a comprehensive reference book with plenty of exercises. They are well explained and they also explain why you are doing them. The problem is that several of them require equipment that you wouldn't have at home. The other is that you will want someone else to check your form & posture on some of them.The other problem is that you can now get plenty of advice like this (or better), for free, from Titleist Performance Institute. The majority of their exercises use standard, readily available equipment like gym balls or your body weight so it's suitable both in or out of a gym.If you really want to understand the role of your muscles, balance, and conditioning in the game of golf, get this book.I can also recommend the Dynaband Golf conditioning pack. This is effectively a mobile gym and has a great golf-specific workout guide inside. And the bands can be used for any exercise, including stretches, not just those given in the book.

great

Excellent training guide for golf conditioning. I am only a beginner, but has helped a lot to understand the basic physics....

Livre bien structuré mais ne traite pas ou prou la mobilité des chevilles qui est souvent une source de problème pour le golfeur.Le chapitre 1 - fitness tests : est bien bien mais parfois on ne sais pas quoi faire si le résultat n'est pas bon. Il n'y a pas toujours de renvoi sur des exercices correctifs. les test d'équilibre sont pauvres. "Functional performance Model" est bien.Le chapitre 2 - Flexibility : assez complet sauf bas du corps.Le chapitre 3 - warm-up : une dizaine de mouvements pour un échauffement complet.Le chapitre 4 - Weight training ... : je doute que l'on gagne de la disatnce avec les exercices proposés. Il s'agit de musculation simple. pas d'exercices fonctionnels multiplans pas d'exercices sur la rapidité ni l'explosivité.Le chapitre 5 - Core training : bien fait avec des exercices en équilibre instable et en dynamiqueLe chapitre 6 - Cuff training : bien fait mais nécessite quelques équipements.Le chapitre 8 - Motor memory : une quinzaine d'exercices à faire souvent avec des élastiquesLe chapitre 9 - Advanced power development : assez complet. Exercices à base de medecine ballsLivre proposant des tests et une multitude d'exercices. cependant, il reste difficile d'en faire un programme structuré car il n'y a pas assez de liens entre résultats des tests et les exercices, ni de progression / paliers. La périodisation est peu traitée.D'autres ouvrages peuvent compléter ce livre : Athletic body in Balance (mais pas orienté golf) pour les tests et les exercices correctifs, Functional training training est excellent même s'il ne traite pas que du golf?le livre performance training for golf est similaire à ce livre mais un peu plus d'exemples de programmes et en progression.
