EXERCISE OF THE MONTH
A subtle strength exercise that isolates the vastus medialis oblique, which supports the knee. Good for balance, as well.
Always check with your physician before beginning any type of exercise program.

"Very clear explanations of causes and fixes for main physical deficiencies affecting golfers. Easy to follow instructions. While other books may give a whole laundry list of exercises that end up not being used, Forman has selected a few for each issue and puts together a program that doesn't take long to do"
"This book not only tells you what to do but also why you need to do and what results you can expect.
I have every book in print about golf fitness and this book is by far the best."
