I'm going to share a really simple exercise that'll help you gain more range of motion as well as strengthen your glutes and hamstrings.
The best part about this exercise is that it doesn't require any equipment! The only thing I recommend is something to put your hands on for balance like a chair or table.
I'll show the intermediate and the beginner versions of this exercise. I don't show the more advanced version because you'll need something like a sturdy bench that's a fair height off the ground.
Looking to start running for health? Running is a skill that requires some baseline fitness or it won't be good for your health! These exercises will help.
Running requires very good hip stability. If you don't have it, your knees, lower back, and ankles will take extra shock and have to do extra work. These are some exercises you can do to improve your hip stability so that you can run safely and get all the benefits running offers.

I'm going to go over the basics of the power clean. This is a longer video than I usually put out because this is a very technical lift. If you want to get serious with it, find a good Olympic lifting coach. A simple video like this can only get you so far.
I'm going to cover basic safety concerns, flexibility needs, core lifts needed to work up to a power clean, and equipment needed.

Today I'm sharing some single leg exercises for hip mobility and stability! A lack of hip mobility and hip stability can be a major contributor to lower back pain. These exercises will help restore normal hip function and take the pressure off your back!
I have three hip mobility exercises for you. Two are stand-alone exercises and the third is putting the other two together to make a more complex movement. In the video I'm using some sticks from Stick Mobility as supports, but you can just use some PVC for this one.
We'll start by rotating around you planted leg. Use the supports as needed. Next we want to move the raised leg through its full range of motion. Make sure with these movements you don't rotate through your spine and focus on just hip movement.
For the last exercise we'll move out lifted leg through its range of motion and when we run out of movement, then we'll rotate around our plant leg through its full range of motion. How good is your single leg work!?

So much of our strength and conditioning knowledge and application comes from sports. Helping athletes improve their performance is the basis for so many workouts. But it's probably not right for you.
An athlete is someone who competes to win. If it's your job, aka winning pays your bills, athletic performance should be your primary goal.
However, if you're like almost every person out there, sports are a hobby at best. Most of us don't compete in sports at all. So why would your train like an athlete? It's much more important for your health to train like a human being than an athlete.
What do I mean by that? Focus on natural movements that are the foundation of human movement. Once your are highly competent here then focus on sport specific training if that's necessary. Fix your foundation before you build your performance house!

Active stretching, or PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching, can really help you increase your flexibility very quickly. In this video I'll talk about the basic concept of active stretching and demo the technique using a hamstring stretch.
PNF stretching is often done with a partner, but it can be done without a partner too! Even though I'm using a hamstring stretch to demo the technique, the principle applies to any stretch.

I'm going to share my go to stretch for my neck and shoulders. This one is a little awkward until you get used to it, but it really helps loosen up my neck, shoulders, and back. I even find that I have a little more space in my ribs after doing it.
If you have physical neck limitations, this stretch could be a little of a problem for you. Things like herniated discs or fused vertebra may make this out of reach.

If you're looking for a general purpose minimalist boot or a minimalist hiking boot, these two boots are the best options I've found so far. If you have experience with either of these boots I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
