Honestly. The combo of this and nerve flossing got me back to training after fracturing three vertebrae. It helps the QL muscles get strong in all the ranges they need to move in, pulls blood into the area as it helps a muscle relax. The more blood into the muscle the less tight it has to be. And it’s a cheeky nerve flossing aswell. Our QL muscles should be huge. Think another ass on top of your actual ass 😂 and you can build up to heavy-ish weight pretty quick. Ideally you’ll build up to half your bodyweight on each side. Try it and let me know what you think!

If you're just starting out on your mobility journey, the hips are a good place to start. Because we still quite a lot these days the hips are one of the most jacked up areas I see. So it yours are super tight and you want to start working on them give this a try as a good starting point!

Deep down, you already know you should be working on your mobility. Maybe you do a bit. Nowhere near enough. Cycle of guilt, justification, "I'll start Monday." So today, here's three things that actually work. 1. Try more than once. Failing is part of it. "I tried that, didn't work." Did you? Doing something once and quitting because nothing magical happened isn't trying. Pick one thing. Commit to two weeks minimum. A month is better. Track how you feel on day one and day fourteen. Then decide. Three rules while you're in it: - You'll suck at first. Not a reason to stop. - Weird new aches are normal. Sharp or severe pain isn't. Please don't die! - You'll miss days. One miss isn't failure. Just never miss two in a row. 2. Make the habit easier than not doing it. This is straight Atomic Habits (good book), applied to mobility: - Make it obvious. Pick a time. Pick a spot. Stack it onto something you already do, brush teeth, then nerve floss. Coffee, then couch stretch. - Make it attractive. Pair it with something you actually want, a podcast, your favorite drink, a friend doing it with you. - Make it easy. Comfortable clothes you don't have to change out of. Equipment where you train. If 30 minutes won't happen, do 10. If 10 won't happen, do 5. Five beats zero every single time. - Make it satisfying. Track it. Tick the box. Never miss twice. 3. The carrot isn't enough? Try the stick. Some people need a reality check. If you don't take this seriously, you will end up in pain. Not maybe. Will. Sedentary, repetitive lives quietly take your range, year by year, until one day you can't tie your shoes without bracing. Your body is smart and stupid at the same time. It will figure out the lowest-effort way to do anything, even if that path slowly destroys a joint over time. Tight hips? Your low back picks up the bill. Tight shoulders? Your neck does. You get away with it for years. Until you don't. Ask yourself, honestly: Who do you want to be at 60? At 70? At 80?
