5-Minute Hip Opener / KB Prep Flow

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

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.

8-Minute Daily Pain Fix Routine

In 2005, while playing for the Green Bay Packers, I attended my first yoga class. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But I did notice that my recovery, flexibility, and athletic performance improved. Then, like many things during that stage of life, it fell off my radar for the next 10–15 years. Fast forward to my late 30s. I was still training hard, lifting kettlebells, doing Spartan races, and competing in powerlifting meets… …but something was different. My recovery wasn’t what it...
