The Importance of Leg Strength in Golf and Life

What do you think you would do if your legs gave out and you had to use a wheel chair for the rest of your days?

I got a front row seat to that very event when we visited my Father-in Law in the hospital this past weekend. Ted is 92 years old and has been through the ringer with ailments, but has always come through just fine...until now. His legs have become so weak that he is unable to stand up and walk. It is heartbreaking to see a family member having to be helped with just about every move when out of bed.

I tell you of this experience because I realized that as I get older, I seem to be avoiding leg strengthening exercises and I am feeling it. Seeing Ted in that condition, I made a commitment to start working on my own legs.

Joey D has created a simple but extremely effective golf fitness exercise that he calls "Squat and Reach". It is one of the exercises on the DVD that comes with the GolfGym weighted Clubs 28 & 38.

Grab a weighted club or any other club in your bag and click on play. Do this exercise consistently and you will really feel the difference.

Good luck with this one.

Fix Your Body, Fix Your Swing

Coach Joey D's new book, "Fix Your Body, Fix Your Swing", was introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando recently. The book is a great read and really revolutionary in the way it brings PGA Tour Pro conditioning and golf fitness to the average golfer.

Joey has been doing book signings at several Barnes and Noble book stores. He will be at the Edwin Watts Golf Store Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on Saturday, February 20th. If you are in the area, come on by to get some free stuff and meet Joey D.

Joey is in Pebble Beach this week and back to Florida on Monday. We will be shooting new photos and bringing new golf fitness information to you as soon as he is back.

Good Golfing

We Are Back!!

I am sorry that it has been over 45 days since the last post here on the blog. We finally moved our entire facility to Jupiter, Florida and it is great. It took longer than we thought to get everything up and running. Yes, I'd like some cheese with my whine. But seriously, we couldn't be more excited about our new digs.

We now have a large warehouse facility for the products division and we will be moving D1 Athletic (Joey's Biomechanics Academy) to a larger facility within the next few weeks. We are all excited that this will allow us to create more content to present on this blog and the website.

Our focus will be bringing you the best golf fitness content we can.

Thank you for your continued support.
