Synopsis
Since the publication of this book in hardcover, Ernie Els has solidified his position as the world's number two golfer, second only to Tiger Woods. A huge part of Ernie's success is the fitness regimen that he and his world-class trainer, David Herman, detail here. By focusing on four key areas - cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, muscular strength and injury prevention - Ernie and David provide golfers with a "train, not a strain" programme that will improve confidence, mental focus, stamina and game consistency, all without gruelling workouts. The right fitness routine can mean more to one's game than lessons, hours of practice or expensive equipment. Ernie Els' Guide to Golf Fitness is just that: the right fitness routine for golf and for life.

Customer Reviews

Great Book
Fantastic book for golfers who are looking into a golf specific fitness regime. Outlines clearly what to do and what to avoid to reduce unwanted tension and injuries resulting from working out.

Very basic!
I'd recommend getting "Total Golf Conditioning" instead of this - pretty obvious stuff with little of practical interest. Plus TGC has a DVD to accompany the book so you can actually see the exercises/stretches demo'd. Alright for a complete novice who has never read anything about basic strength/flexibility training, but for everyone else steer clear!
