Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world but there is no such thing as a quick game of golf which means that there's not always enough spare time to exercise in a gym as well. Performing a series of advanced 7 to 10-second isometric exercises is the answer, especially since they can easily be performed during your golf game or practice session. If just one isometric exercise was performed at each then at the end of an 18 hole game of golf a powerful total-body workout would have been completed as well. An average golf club is also a perfect Improvised Isometric Exercise Device or IIED, so you're literally carrying your own go-anywhere multi-gym with you everywhere you play. Golf pros and coaches can also use these exercises as a handy resource to practice with their clients. Part 1. is a resource guide of isometric exercises that can be performed as an individual, either outdoors or at home without the need for a buddy.

This book has been approved by TWiEA - The World Isometric Exercise Association (www.TWiEA.com). Isometric exercise has been a part of almost every system of the martial arts ever devised. Even before isometrics were studied scientifically and modern science-based training techniques were devised they have been taught and practised in one form or another for thousands of years. It was the great Bruce Lee and his love of isometric exercise who ensured that this system would forevermore be famously linked to all types of martial arts training. This book contains a valuable resource of practical isometric exercises designed to build serious strength, muscle and martial arts 'firepower' needed by all types of martial artists. More importantly, isometric exercise builds solid, hard, practical muscle and not the bodybuilder type of bulk that would seriously restrict a martial artist. One of the authors is recognised as being one of the leading authorities on isometric exercise, isometric exercise science and as a practitioner of several different styles of martial arts for almost 50-years. Among his many awards and accolades, he is a WKA 8th Degree Black Belt and a recipient of a WKA Lifetime Achievement Award. This gives him a unique and extremely valuable insight into science-based strength training and conditioning for the martial arts.
