I recently had a new client come in, and this is extremely common.

They had clear strength goals.
They were training consistently.
Kettlebell work was dialed in.

On paper, everything looked good.

But something was stalling them out.

Their hips were tight. Especially the hip flexor complex. Which meant the glutes weren’t firing well. And once that happens, everything downstream suffers.

Swings feel off.
Snatches feel awkward.
Athletic movements feel limited.

So before we touched a kettlebell, we spent 5–7 minutes at the start of every session opening up the hips.

Nothing crazy. Nothing aggressive.

Just a short, repeatable sequence — very similar to what I’ll be teaching in my upcoming 90-minute Hip Mobility Workshop.

I want to give you a simple version of that sequence right now so you can try it yourself.

#

5–7 Minute Hip Reset (do this daily or before training)

1. Half-Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch (Couch Stretch setup)
:60–90 seconds per side

• Back knee down, front foot forward
• Light glute squeeze on the back leg
• Tall torso, slow nasal breathing

2. Half-Kneeling Hip Flexor + Overhead Reach
:30–45 seconds per side

• Same position
• Reach the arm of the back leg overhead
• Gentle side bend away from the kneeling knee

3. 90/90 Hip Switches
:45–60 seconds total

• Sit on the floor in a 90/90 position
• Slowly rotate side to side
• Use hands for support if needed

4. Bridge Hold with Slow Breathing
:45–60 seconds

• Feet flat, squeeze glutes, lift hips
• Slow breaths
• Feel the hips fully extend

Try this before your next kettlebell workout, or first thing in the morning if your hips feel stiff from sitting.

Most people notice an immediate difference.

Now — if this hits home for you, I’m teaching a full 90-minute Hip Mobility Workshop where we go much deeper into this exact process.

This is a live workshop I’m doing as a guest session for my friends at FleX16 (my former gym in Sacramento). You can attend in person if you’re local, or live on Zoom, and you’ll also get the replay.

When you sign up, you also get my 8-Minute Hip Fix (28-day daily routine) included as a bonus.

Today is the lowest price I’m offering as part of the 12 Days of Christmas.

If you want the full plan, the full progression, and live coaching through it:

This is a one-day offer. When today ends, it comes down and the next deal goes live.

Give the sequence a try — and if you want the complete system, I’ll see you in the workshop.
