I am just getting back into playing after 3-4 years off - very much not in golf shape upon my return :)

I have seen some people mention Joey D and his golf specific workout and I work with someone that is a firm believer in the P90 system. How do they compare? Will I get the same golf benefits out of the P90 system that i would get out of Joey D?

Any thoughts would be most appreciated...

Can't comment on Joey D but Tony Horton and his P90 series are fantastic for speed, balance, and overall strength. Done P90X2 and 3 many times they are awesome.

I don't know about Tony Horton, but I have Joey D's book "Fix Your Body, Fix Your Swing" and I recommend it. The book has fitness tests to see what particular area in which you need the most work. The book gives you a "prescription" to fix whatever it is. 6 tests and specific exercises to address the specific problem. I was deficient in 3 of the 6....balance, hip turn, and shoulder turn.

In my opinion you are comparing apples to oranges. If you want to get in shape do P90, if you want to work on golf-specific exercises do Joey D.

Any of the Beach Body methods are as much about their diet plan as anything. To get the intended result really have to do everything. Any exercise will make you feel better but if looking better in the mirror is one of the measuring stick for you following the diet is important, there is some calorie restriction with the BB stuff. I have the Joey D book and it's meh if you are already fitness minded.

Agree. I do Joey D along with PX90 type exercises. The Joey D part is only 20 minutes.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
