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.

One thing I keep bumping into with clients I’m working with is that their actual age is in the 40s, 50s, or 60s — but they’re trying to train like they were in their teens or 20s. Let’s take an example client: — They want to train at home with minimal equipment.— They lost some weight and now want to build strength and muscle.— They want to focus on tightening up their midsection and building the right kind of core strength.— They have a history of old injuries and want to train in a...

I recently started working with a new client. Great energy, very motivated. They’ve lost about 30–40 pounds so far, have a few old injuries from years back, and now want to gain some strength and muscle—and do it at home. They also want to build some core strength and tighten up their midsection. So we were chatting, and I put together a home workout program. Now listen — if you have the luxury of a full gym setup as I do at the studio with barbells, pull-up bars, kettlebells, dumbbells,...

Thanksgiving Weekend here in the US is officially over. And honestly… this past stretch was intense! The original plan was to slow things down a bit… but between running the studio, pushing through the holiday week, and staying on top of my degree work… it’s been kind of a grind. Today was the first real moment I’ve had to take a breath. So instead of blasting you with another promo… I want to send you a workout ;) This one is very similar to what I did on Thanksgiving morning — at home,...
