Vickie,

Very good information!!!

I try to do exercises to help the back, but I am interested in total fitness as well. I have a slight disc problem, and sciatica on the right leg at times.

I do modified crunches and other ab work daily. I do "cat and camel" , and one other back exercise also. For strength... light weights--12 lb dumbbells for upper body, and squats and toe raises for the legs.

Also about 20 pushups and 25 tricep pushups daily.

I walk for cardio, and try to do some stretching daily.

I used to swing a weighted club, but I believe that may be hurting my back to do so.

What do you think about medicine ball training for golf?

Thanks,
