This is a basic introduction to stretching and simple muscle strengthening you can (and should) do to prevent common golf injuries.

The reason that the video seems simple, is that good stretching really is pretty simple. That is, to avoid injury you don't NEED to do all kinds of crazy contortions. I think this may disappoint some viewers, but his advice is sound.

In other words, good advice doesn't have to be NOVEL (new) to be correct.

For instance, John shows you an easy way to stretch your arm tendons to minimize risk of golfer's elbow. You simply hold your arm out in front of you, and gently pull the fingers. This is a standard, proven technique.

The Ab exercises are simple, and again time-proven. Obviously, ab muscles play a huge role in golf, so John is 100% correct in including these exercises. I don't think he is playing to a fad, but rather stating some pretty good principles.

There's a few things that we could have done without: I think John could have left out the golf-pro comments, which are obviously pre-rehearsed, canned comments--e.g., "This exercise really helps my golf swing ..."

All in all, a good, sound introduction to basic exercises to minimize injuries.

I purchased this video to help me train clients who are interested in improving their fitness for golf. Unfortunately, for me it was a waste of money. The video presented what I am doing with my clients already. I was looking for more in-depth discussion of the muscles involved in the swing and how to train the body as a whole to prepare for golf season. Instead, the video presented 10 stretches and exercises that i have my clients working on already.

Perhaps this video might be of some use to a non-professional looking for some stretches and rudimentary exercises. However, as a personal trainer, I was disappointed in the content.

I bought golf fitness because I felt with all the golf lessons I've taken through the years no instructor has taught me how to stretch or exercise to improve my game. This DVD has given me some easy to use stretches that really seem to be helping my game. I am not one to write reviews, but this DVD was worth the time. I recommend this DVD to all golfers like myself that need to improve their flexibility and strengthen muscles specific to playing golf. I never realized that even with good technique if you can't rotate your head and spine through the proper range your not going to get the desired result. Thanks for a DVD that didn't waste my time.

These exercises are fantastic. Simple and quick to do and they make a huge difference to your swing!

Great program easy to follow.Gave me better flexibility strength and endurance,I have better posture at address. Im hitting the ball further and more consistant ball striking. I feel solid over the ball.

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT. WHEN i GOT THIS DVD AND i PLAY THE DVD CAME OUT TO BE CLEANING COMPANY EQUIPMENT. THE DVD IS FAKE IT IS NOT GOLF PROGRAM IT LIE. TAKE THIS ADVICE DO NOT BUY IT.
