5-Minute Hip Opener / KB Prep Flow


If your hips are locked up, tight, or just off, your whole body pays the price.

This is because back pain, stiff knees, and nagging injuries often don’t start where they hurt… they start with hips that don’t move how they’re supposed to.

This is because the hips are the power center of your body. And when they lose mobility, everything else starts compensating.

It might manifest as back pain when lifting kettlebells, tight hamstrings that never loosen up, or shoulder issues.

That’s precisely why I created the 8-Minute Hip Fix — a 28-day program for people 40+ to start unlocking hip mobility, fast.

You’ll get short, follow-along routines to relieve pain, build strength, and boost performance — in 8–10 minutes daily.

Most people train for how they look. But the strongest lifters of the past? They trained to perform. Old-time strongmen didn’t use mirrors or machines. They built serious strength with awkward objects, odd positions, and total-body control. And that’s precisely what the Old-Time Kettlebell Strength program is built on. It’s inspired by the era of raw, functional strength—and now, for a limited time, you can get it FREE when you grab the Kettlebell Powerbuilding program. -> Get Old-Time KB...

Powerbuilding = the sweet spot between raw strength and real muscle. It’s a training style that blends low-rep heavy lifts (for strength) with moderate-rep hypertrophy work (for size). Traditionally done with barbells… but let’s be real: if you’re over 40, beat up, and short on time, that doesn’t always work. That’s where kettlebells come in. They’re easier on your joints… more versatile… and with the right structure, they deliver the same results—in way less time. Let me show you what I...

Reader - Yesterday I told you about the Hybrid Kettlebell Strength Method I’ve been using with my clients over 40 to help them build muscle, get stronger, and move better — without trashing their joints or spending hours in the gym. Today, I want to show you exactly how you can follow that same method. I just put together a 3-for-1 bundle that includes the best of the best when it comes to building functional strength with kettlebells — especially if you’re 40+ and want results in just 20 to...
