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 the way 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 show up as back pain when you lift kettlebells, tight hamstrings that never loosen up, or even shoulder issues.
That’s exactly 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.
5-Minute Hip Opener / KB Prep Flow
Try this before your next kettlebell workout to loosen up your hips and fire up the right muscles:
- Glute Bridges – 10-12 reps, squeeze at the top
- Bird Dogs – 6-8 reps per side, slow and controlled
- World’s Greatest Stretch – 2 reps per side
- Hip Airplanes – 4-5 reps per side (use wall or support if needed)
- Banded Good Mornings – 15 reps, focus on hinge form and glute drive
Just 5 minutes sets the tone for better movement and safer training.
