I grew up the youngest of 4 kids, playing sports while pursuing my academic career. An injury sidelined me for 9 months when I was 16, and since then my mission has been to keep myself and those around me healthy enough to play at their best. I can help you see that and unleash your potential to help your body let you do the things you love.

Daily movement is how capacity stays available.

These are movement snacks.
A few reps. A few breaths. A few minutes.

Each clip has a dose because dose matters—
and because doing something most days builds more confidence than waiting for the “perfect” workout.

This is how joints stay curious.
This is how your body remembers what it can do.
This is how independence adds up.

You don’t need all of it.
You don’t need to feel amazing.
You just need to move a little today.

Some movement > zero.
Every time.

Save this.
Try one.
Notice how your body responds.

Hip mobility doesn’t have to be strict or perfect.
It’s about exploring movement and listening to your body.

Windshield wipers let you lean, rotate, adjust your feet, and move in ways that feel natural. Your body will tell you when to shift, fidgeting included. Small variations create big benefits over time.

They don’t ask how the baby looks.
They ask how the baby moves.

Because movement tells a story before words ever do.

And that doesn’t stop after pregnancy.
Your body keeps giving you feedback every day—
when you stand up, walk, reach, get down to the floor, get back up.

None of it is a test.
It’s just information.

If you’ve noticed things feel different lately, that’s not a problem to fix.
It’s a signal worth listening to.

Start there.
Stay curious.
Build from what your body is already telling you.

Save this as a reminder to check in.
Or comment MOVE if you want more simple ways to listen to your body.

Steps are fine.
But this shows how well your body works together.
The score gives you clarity, not judgment.

Sit to rise is not a party trick.
It is a snapshot of strength, balance, and coordination.
You either have options, or you borrow them.

Be smart, know your body, keep moving

Gentle does not mean useless.

This is spinal motion that actually matters.

Seated twist.
Seated cat cow.
Seated side stretch.
All paired with slow, intentional breathing.

This is how you keep your spine adaptable without forcing it.
This is how you move on days when intensity is not the answer.
This is how small movement adds up over time.

You do not need to crank on your body to get benefit.
You need control.
You need awareness.
You need consistency.

If this felt good, your body is giving you useful information.

Be smart
Know your body
Keep moving

Getting on the floor is a practice.
So is getting back up.

This position isn’t about flexibility.
It’s about reminding your body that the floor is familiar.

You’re allowed to move slowly here.
You’re allowed to use your hands.
You’re allowed to notice how it feels—without judging it.

This is how confidence is built:
by spending a few calm seconds in places you want your body to trust again.

Try it today.
Even 15 seconds counts.

Save this if floor confidence matters to you.

be smart, know your body. Keep moving.

Hip mobility doesn’t have to be complicated, or aggressive.
Especially after a hip replacement, gentle, controlled movement matters.

The windshield wiper drill is a low-stress way to reintroduce hip rotation, build confidence, and improve comfort without forcing range. Done consistently and within your limits, small daily movements can help support smoother walking, sitting, and everyday activities.

Here’s the thing about getting up off the floor.

Most people slowly stop using it.

They stop sitting on the floor.

Then one day someone says,
“Why would I do this? There’s a zero percent chance I can get up.
It’s a skill problem.

Getting up from the floor is a learned, practiced human skill.
We all had it.
We all used it.
And most people slowly lose it across a lifetime because modern life gives us no reason to keep it.

Chairs everywhere.
Couches everywhere.
Beds everywhere.
Very few reasons to be low to the ground.

But here’s why this matters.

Getting up off the floor is one of the most functional abilities your body has.
It’s tied to independence.
It’s tied to confidence.
It’s tied to not panicking when you’re alone.
It’s tied to falls not becoming emergencies.

If the floor feels like a trap, your world quietly gets smaller.
You avoid situations.
You move more cautiously.
You rely on furniture.
You rely on people.

That’s deconditioning.

The good news.
Skills come back when you practice them.
At the right level.
With the right support.
Without fear or ego.

You don’t need to drop down and hope for the best.
You need a path.
Progressions.
Options.
A way to build confidence without feeling stupid or unsafe.

The goal is not to impress anyone.
The goal is to make the floor boring.

Because being able to get down.
And get back up is about staying capable.

Keep moving
