Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been approved by TWiEA - The World Isometric Exercise Association (www.TWiEA.com). Strength and Stamina Building Exercises to Improve the Walking Experience and to Perform During Walking Breaks AnywhereNordic Walking and Trekking are two of the most popular forms of outdoor exercise that are available to almost anyone of almost any age or ability. Since more people than ever before are spending an increasing amount of time outdoors, professional walk-leaders and individuals are also choosing to enhance the experience by incorporating a Fitness on the Move(TM) approach.This means that more Nordic Walkers and Trekkers than ever before are performing powerful and proven isometric exercise routines to exercise their whole body with gym-quality workout sessions during scheduled walk breaks in almost any location they choose.These improvised workout sessions primarily use walking poles as what we call IIED's - Improvised Isometric Exercise Devices. With the know-how and improvised exercise ideas contained in this book, people are turning their walking poles into extremely effective go-anywhere multigyms.Now you can get a head start and learn how to exercise anywhere using a simple walking pole. Also, walk-leaders and fitness professionals can use this book as a handy resource guide to devise new, fun-filled and effective exercise sessions during group walking breaks.NOTE: This is one of two companion books that together form a set. One book focusses on exercises that can be performed by individuals, and the other book focusses on exercises that can be performed in partner-pairs. Since the background exercise science remains the same regardless of whether one trains as an individual or in a partner-pair, the introductions and relevant exercise science sections to both books are essentially the same. The important difference between the two companion books is the exercise resource section, with each book specifically focussing only on one aspect or the other.

Download or read book Isometric Exercises for Golf written by Helen Wuorio and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Golf pros and coaches can also use these exercises as a handy resource to practice with their clients.
