  • Great Hip Flexor and Quad Mobility Exercise / Stretch

    Great Hip Flexor and Quad Mobility Exercise / Stretch

    Hip mobility and flexibility is key to success in any sport and even in lifting big weights.

    If your hips are tight, you’re going to compensate somewhere else, usually your low back or your knees.

    This is what causes a lot of low back pain and knee injuries.

    The exercise I show you in this video not only mobilizes your quads and hip flexors, but when you add in the “scouring” it helps to mobilize your hip joint capsule in rotation, which is a necessary ability to have to do things like throw kicks, throw punches or any other sport like golf or baseball.

    Do it up and if you want more like this visit http://HipFlexibilitySolution.com to learn about my 3D Flexibility System and how it will help you unlock your hips by using my specialized 15 minute routines once per day.

  • Best Stretch Ever??

    I was doing some program design (I always call it ‘PD) while hanging out on the couch and I did something I often do – I dropped down into a stretch while mulling over some PD considerations in my head…

    Whenever I do PD, I try to do it away from the computer… for one – the computer is distracting and I can easily find myself losing focus while reading the latest ramblings on CagePotato or watching old fight vids…

    It takes me at least a few hours to create a customized program for someone… After the assessment, I like to read over the results the day of, jot some more notes down, then just let it ‘brew’ in my brain for a couple of days like a good cup of green tea…

    I was creating a program where we have 14 weeks until the fight… So I plan backwards from fight day, and fill in each week in reverse order based on the needs of the fighter…

    [BTW – all people who train seriously should be following programs, which are designed for some end goal and are at least 8 weeks in length, as opposed to winging it or making up workouts the same day – the difference in results is HUGE]

    Anyway, I want to share the stretch that I did that has really helped me loosen up a tight area for mixed martial artists and anyone who sits down for the better part of the day…
