Book Reviews of Core Performance Golf: The Revolutionary Training and Nutrition Program for Success On and Off the Course
Book Review: Great Book for Golf, which you can apply to entire lifestyle
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Core Performance Golf: The Revolutionary Training and Nutrition Program for Success On and Off the Course
The Core Performance phenomenon continues—with this new book that combines the effectiveness of the author’s revolutionary training system and the enormous popularity of golf. Mark Verstegen, who has trained hundreds of elite athletes here and abroad at his Athletes’ Performance Institutes, among them many PGA and LPGA golfers, now shares with every golfer the methods that have helped the pros develop their explosive power and strength.
In Core Performance Golf, golfers will discover:
A training program that is ideally suited to developing the golf swing because so much of the swing, like the Core Program itself, depends on rotation and movement
Exercises designed to help them create more torque and balance, thus adding yards to drives and precision to shots A conditioning and nutrition regimen that will build strength, power, and stamina, while reducing the risk of injuries and speeding recovery time Sidebar quotes and tips from famous golfers the author has worked with Training Books
