with a degree in education and 13 years of experience in the fitness

consultant, personal trainer, and group fitness instructor who specializes
in functional, pilates-based training.
Her professional experience includes six years on the faculty at Indiana/Purdue

Mindi coaches health-conscious golfers of all skill levels. From players
on the PGA Tour to recreational golfers, she teaches fitness techniques
designed to improve both a player's golf game and overall health. Her
format includes strengthening of the specific muscle groups used in
the golf swing, flexibility exercises, and reinforcement of balance
and stability movements.
Her series of three DVDs, Fit For Golf/Fit For Life, have been in
demand with golf enthusiasts around the country. The popularity of
her first DVD triggered her decision to build on her philosophy: "A
fit golfer is a better golfer." Each DVD takes beginners and skilled
golfers alike to higher levels of golf fitness. Her careful choice
of exercises helps to prevent back and joint damage related to swinging
a club. These videos contain effective pre-game workouts that require
very little time or space and produce the best results with the least
amount of effort. Learn more about Mindi and her DVDs by visiting her

golf, has been instrumental in the development of this book.

investor relations firm. Most recently, her experience has incorporated
health-related articles on the subjects of chiropractic care, natural
health supplements, and laser vision correction. Her work has included
promotional pieces, technical explanation of products and procedures,
