I wish I knew this when I started personal training…

Your spine needs to be able to segment.

The McGill 3 is all predicated on getting the deep muscles of your core to work, including the multifidi.

And their function is to help create spinal segmentation so your spine can be efficient at absorbing force.

So even before you focus on stability and core strength- you need to make sure your spine can segment.

Loving this set-up for feedback allowing me to focus on moving only the lumbar region - as well as allowing me to use gravity to load lumbar extension!

Give it a try. And if you want more buttery goodness, DM me the word SPINE and I’ll send you a free low back and core strengthening routine.

You’re over 35.
You lift.
You stay active.
You actually care about your health.

So why does the pain keep coming back?

It’s not because you’re “getting older.”
And it’s definitely not because you’re not stretching enough.

Most active parents are stuck in the same loop:

Stretch more.
Foam roll more.
Do endless corrective exercises.

Yet the pain always returns.

Here’s the part no one warns you about👇

If you don’t understand what’s actually causing your pain, the more powerless you feel.

I learned this the hard way.

In my mid-20s, I spent 9 straight months in pain.

Constant flare-ups.
Tried Everything.
Yet, still couldn’t train or play golf the way I wanted.

That’s when everything clicked:

Pain doesn’t mean you’re broken.

And it’s not fixed by living on a foam roller or 30-minute warm-ups.

That’s why I created a FREE training for active parents 35+ who want to:

Train hard
Stay pain-free
Keep up with their kids
Age without giving up who they are

Inside the training, you’ll learn:

• How to actually understand pain instead of fearing it
• Why stretching, foam rolling, and massages keep failing you
• The framework that’s helped over 10,000+ active adults get out of pain without quitting lifting

You don’t need a new body.
You don’t need to stop training.
You don’t need to accept decline.

You need the right framework.

Learn how to get out of pain without hours of stretching, foam rolling, or corrective exercise.

5 habits I do now as a 39 year old parent of 2 I wish I started 10 years ago.

These habits allowed me to stay consistent, get stronger, and stop having pain so I can show up for my kids and play more G.

You don’t need to day all 5 at once. But if you picked one today and got started on it, you too could feel better, get stronger, and keep up with your kids for years to come.

If you want the exact system I used that has helped 10,000+ parents do the same, comment TRAINING and I’ll send you a free on-demand video on how to get out of pain without hours of foam rolling, stretching, or corrective exercise.

Want stronger, healthier elbows.

The goal is to combine flexion of the shoulder and elbow to find a nice tricep stretch.

Once you do, add some pressure into the band and explore elbow rotation.

Surprising tricep pump from this too 🌶️.

If you’re a parent over 30 - there’s a good chance your body doesn’t feel as spry as it used to.

Chasing your kids, hitting the gym, doing work around the house keeps you active - but if you feel older than your age - you need a little more than that to feel buttery good again.

Putting a focus on mobility training and joint health can be a game changer when incorporated into an active lifestyle when it comes to stiffness, aches, and pain!

If you relate to this meme 😅 share with a for parent that you think would too!

I used to think pain meant damage.

So I avoided the movements that felt sketchy.

I tried to be careful.
I trained around my issues.

And all that did was shrink what I trusted my body to do.

Now I know better.
Pain does not equal damage.

It’s information that my body is telling me.

That shift changed how I train.
It changed how I coach.

And it’s what I help parents work through every day.

Feeling old has less to do about your age…

And more to do with how you move and your lifestyle.

Lack of mobility, lack of strength, lack of movement, and/or pain can all make you feel older than you are.

Avoidance may feel safe. It seems logical, but…

It’s usually the thing keeping pain around.
