10 simple moves that will bring vitality back into your life! Unlock your hip flexors today!
/It may be the most harmless activity known to man, but it's also one of the biggest dangers to your health.
IT'S SITTING!
Even if you're the most active of athletes, you may still suffer from tight hip flexors due to the amount of time you spend each day planted to a chair.
If you have tight hip flexors from sitting you can look fat even if you're not!
It's called Bulging Belly Syndrome
Wonder why your stomach still sticks out even though you're hammering the core exercises every day? It's a common myth that bulging belly is due to weak abdominal muscles.
The real cause is likely to be tight hip flexors (from sitting too much) , which cause the lower back to curve pushing out the stomach. When your hip flexors also known as the psoas works properly it pulls the abdomen back tucking the tummy in, giving you a strong flat stomach.
That's why some people can look fat with a bulging stomach even if they're not fat.
If you sit a lot (which causes tight hip flexors) and have a belly you want to get rid of, forget about dieting.
Instead I recommend that you incorporate these 10 Simple Moves into your day. They take less than 15-minutes to complete.

Today I want to tell you about the body's most primal muscle….that you've probably never heard of (let alone trained).
Your hips are the bridge between your upper body and lower body. They are at the center of your body's movement.
Sitting within the well of your hip and lower spine is the psoas major muscle, one of the two muscles that makes up the iliopsoas.
It’s often called the "mighty" psoas (pronounced so-az) for the many important functions it plays in the movement of your body.
The psoas is the only muscle in the human body connecting the upper body to the lower body.
The muscle attaches to the vertebrae of the lower spine, moves through the pelvis and connects to a tendon at the top of the femur. It also attaches to the diaphragm, so it’s connected to your breathing, and upon it sits all the major organs.
A functioning psoas muscle creates a neutral pelvic alignment, stabilizes the hips, supports the lower spine and abdomen, supports the organs in the pelvic and abdominal cavity and gives you greater mobility and core strength.
When it functions well, it has the power to…
… help you achieve peak performance day after day after day.
… rapidly drop ugly body fat that stubbornly clings to your body.
… train harder, heavier and gain strength faster than you thought possible.
… hit your peak of sexual health.
… flood your mind and body with renewed energy and vigor.
Put simply, this muscle is the core of activity in your body. So, when it's out of balance or if the psoas tightens, there are serious consequences which flow throughout the body.
That's why I urge you to try these…..
10 Simple Moves to Unlock & Release Your Psoas (Hip Flexor Muscles)
When it comes to athletes everywhere and achieving peak performance health, there is one thing they all have in common and that is being powerful through the hips.
Regardless of the sport, athletes want to perform at their best every single time they take the field, the court or the ice. In order to do that, we must have healthy, strong and mobile hips: Hips that function without pain, tightness or lack of mobility.
A balance in strength exists through the hip flexors, the iliopsoas group and gluteus group which helps keep the body moving and performing at its absolute best.
The ‘power zone’ lies at the center of the human body. Sure, the arms and legs are super important for any person or elite athlete, but the source of true power resides within the hips.
Talk to any coach or trainer all over the world over and they will agree with this simple assessment. Without the ability to bend, jump, twist, dive, run or move effectively, an athlete is dead in their tracks, literally.
Athletes from all backgrounds across the world spend a great deal of time working on the balance of strength within their hip area. They stretch, strengthen, massage, or anything else that will help them improve hip function.
Without even realizing it, athletes are helping to not only improve their physical performance but also their mental and emotional function.
Is it any wonder why after doing something physically active, even just a good long walk, you feel emotionally uplifted? Athletes and others that push their bodies in sports, in the gym or at home, simply feel better and more energetic.
Case and point: the body was designed to move and not be in a seated position all the time. But unfortunately for most people, sitting is a large part of our lives and the center of the body is restricted and stressed out.
But that’s NOT the case for many athletes.
The messaging that goes from the lower body to the upper body and back again has less roadblocks, less stress and the signals are stronger.
When stronger signals are passing from head to toe in an athlete, their power production is improved dramatically. And as stated at the very beginning, when you increase power, you achieve peak performance health.
This issue was discussed with Injury Specialist Rick Kaselj and he came up with 10 movements he called the “Sequential Flow”
This "Sequential Flow" of 10 unique movements included PNF Stretching, Static Stretching, 3-Dimensional Core Stability Exercises, Mobility Exercises, Fascia Stretching & Muscle Activation.
Immediately after performing all of these exercises, you can feel more powerful and energized than you have in years and you can experience this for yourself in less than 15-minutes.
Doing these movements in the right order unravels all the tissues including muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and the joint capsule while breaking up scar tissue.
Using the right sequence kick starts an increase in blood flow to the area to clean out metabolites and lactic acid and reduces inflammation while nourishing and rejuvenating the hip area.
In as little as 24 hours, your body will switch on its natural healing process rather than causing pain and inflammation which can lead to many chronic diseases and health problems.
You can be making a difference to your strength, health and vitality within minutes. You just have to grab the moment and do it.
