If your hips are tight, your lower back pays for it.
Sitting all day tightens your hips—especially your inner thighs.
By pushing your knees out wide, you open up your hips and create space to hinge forward properly instead of rounding your lower back.
Start with a slight pelvic tilt → hinge forward → reach under
Think long spine, not slouched
This isn’t just a stretch. Stay active.
Light core brace, control the movement, and move from your hips. Contract the lat area , stiffen arm let it scrape your inner thighs as you reach.
Benefits:
• Opens tight hips (adductors)
• Reduces lower back stiffness
• Improves posture
• Teaches proper hip hinge
• Builds control—not just flexibility
Tips:
• Knees out wide
• Slight pelvic tilt to start
• Don’t round your back
• Move slow and controlled
2–3 sets of 8–10 reps.

Good habits for a healthy lifestyle are the foundation of everything-without this foundation, you can't truly move forward.
I’m here to help you build these habits, so you can unlock your potential, boost your well-being, and lasting positive change.
Stretching alone won’t fix your mobility.
Stretching alone usually isn’t enough to improve range of motion long-term. Your body gains mobility when it feels strong and safe in that position. That means you need both stretching and strength training through the range of motion. When we strengthen muscles in deeper positions and gradually challenge that range, the nervous system allows the joint to move further and control it safely.

Throwback to a couple months or so, when my client joined the HYROX Compitition, Proud of my client for attending 💪
When she first came to me, she couldn’t hang from a bar…
Chin-ups hurt.
Shoulder presses hurt.
Her lower back and hips were constantly flared up from an old car accident.
Today — years later — she just finished HYROX and her relay team placed **4th in the Women’s 40+ division**.
She can now lift her own bodyweight… and even add weight to it.
This is what consistent strength training does.
Not quick fixes.
Not 8-week challenges.
Rebuilding joints.
Rebuilding confidence.
Rebuilding a body you trust again.
Age isn’t the limitation.
Injuries aren’t a life sentence.
Th right training changes everything.

There's more power in the photo on the right! I was a relatively fast runner at the age of 39, but I was not maximizing my strength and power because I was neglecting weights. Weightlifting has not only helped my running, but my most recent bone scan showed that my bone density was in the top percentile for my age!
My client who struggled with chronic shoulder pain, lower back pain, and hip pain from a car accident decades ago. Who was not able to hang or do a chin up or a shoulder press without pain when she started. After being consistent for years now she is able to lift herself up with added weights and many more.

“When you over-arch your lower back and flare your ribs in a deadlift, you’re putting your spine into a stressed position where the joints and ligaments take the load — not your muscles. That means less power, poor mechanics, and higher risk of injury. A neutral spine with proper bracing is where strength and safety come from.”
Trap Bar Deadlift/ Deadlift posture. Before and After. This is one of my younger clients who did a deadlift without much queuing then was improved after.
Here’s some things to consider:
Do’s
Maintain neutral spine
Brace with 360° core pressure
Pull lats tight to lock shoulders
Don’t
Flare rib cage
Not with just “chest up”
Don’t pull chest up by arching spine
Client Testimonial:
Jason was extremely helpful in pointing out what I was doing wrong and correcti g it for me. He showed me before and after photos/videos? which made it clear to me. I am getting much better results with my workouts after working with Jason to make some small changes and to change up my routine. He is great to work out with. I highly recommend him as a trainer.

Stay consistent—like thermodynamics, it’s all about energy balance: Your body works like a simple energy equation:
1. Eat more than you burn, you gain weight; 2. Burn more than you eat, you lose weight; 3. Match what you eat with what you burn, you maintain. It’s all about balance over time.”
