“It’s all in the hips”
- Chubbs Peterson

Here are 3 moves that will get you feeling good.

Video 1: Prone Hip CARs - these are spicy and harder than they look. But, they train a range of motion that many people ignore - hip extension.

And these are great if you do a lot of sitting.

Video 2: 90/90 Switches

These are great - do them slow and controlled if you want to get the most out of them.

Try keeping the knees as far apart from each other through the motion.

Video 3: Loaded Hip IR in Extension

Also trains hip extension. I am having the band pull my hip into internal rotation and I am pulsing at my end range trying to strengthen the range of motion.

Sorry for the shoddy camera angle 😳

Give these a try, save this for future use, and share it with a parent that could use this.

I’m doing these now so future me says “thank you” instead of “I wish I had…”

The big lesson? Skipping the basics today is just borrowing comfort from your future self.

Which one will you be focusing on this week? 👇

You don’t need a new club.
(But the 6 beers are a must. 🍻)

It’s you.

I say that with love, but if you’ve got pain, trash mobility, and your “warm-up” is a swing and a prayer on hole 1…

Your body’s holding back your game.

You could hit further.
You could move better.
You could still suck (like me and 😂) - but at least feel good doing it.

Golf is hard enough. Don’t let stiffness and pain make golf less enjoyable.

👇 DM me “GOLF” and I’ll send you a warm-up routine that helps you move better and feel better your next round.

Wrists that pop, click, have pain, and feel weak?

These 3 exercises have your back.

For all of them, make sure you do these 2 things:

1️⃣ Work through your FULL range of motion
2️⃣ Make sure you challenge your strength. If it’s easy, you won’t be building stronger wrists.

If your wrists need some love. Comment WRIST and I’ll DM you a free mobility routine 😎

Struggling with strength training because it makes your pain worse? This might be the reminder you need today.

You have way more control over getting stronger and more confident in your body than you think (even if you have pain)…

But do you know why you still struggle with pain and pushing yourself in the gym, even when you constantly show up 👀?

Because you’re stuck in the cycle of focusing on what you can’t do vs what you can, alter your plan every time your symptoms get a little worse, and believe that you shouldn’t ever have pain and that if it’s there it means something is wrong.

When you understand pain, realize that you don’t need to avoid movements or do everything perfectly- you can start improving resiliency and strength that has carry over to every day life.

Our results aren’t random, they’re a direct reflection of how well you understand the process and your ability to execute it.

Let me tell you: ⤵️

SAVE this one if you have upper back and neck pain.

1. Lateral Flexion Off Bench - Improves both mobility and strength of your neck 💪

2. Scap CARs - to help improve mobility of the scapula

3. Swimmer Hovers - to strengthen your upper back and shoulders

This is a great combo for improving upper back and neck pain, so share it with a fit parent you know could use this.

Here’s a little Tuesday humor.

But in all seriousness, today’s marketing strategies offer quick fixes.

7 minute abs
Lose 20 lbs in 4 days
Get flexible in 15 minutes

The truth of the matter is, long-term changes take time.

Real results don’t happen in days, or even months sometimes. Consistency is key to reaching your goals.

If we look at physiology when it comes to fitness and mobility, it takes anywhere between 4-8 weeks to start seeing adaptations.

This doesn’t mean you’ve fully reached your goals, it just means your body will have started to positively adapt and they will stick around unless you stop training it.

Remember if you don’t use it you lose it. Think about getting stronger. You spend years building strength, and if you stop training you get weaker.

The same goes for all other fitness qualities, including mobility.

Let’s get you started on the right path. DM me the word HUMOR and I’ll send you a free mobility routine 🫡.
