What do you think the reason is? Answer the poll below!👇 You are eating less. You are training. You are doing what worked at 28. And the belly fat is not moving. If anything, it is getting more stubborn😡 I hear this constantly from clients in their late 30s and 40s, and almost every single time, they think the answer is to eat even less or train even harder. That is almost never the right answer. And after 20 years of coaching people through exactly this problem, I want to walk you through what is actually happening in your body, because it is not what most people think. In this video, I break down why losing belly fat becomes more challenging after 35 and why the old "calories in, calories out" approach doesn't tell the whole story. We'll dive into the real drivers of stubborn belly fat, including sleep quality, chronic stress, insulin resistance, muscle loss, recovery, and hormonal changes.

How bendy are you on a scale of 1-10? I have a golden rule around mobility and staying stretchy throughout your life. For every decade of your life you should have one mobility day. But what is a mobility day or exercise? Mobility is a form of movement that helps you move with more freedom in the gym and outside of the gym or as I like to say, stay bendy. The reason I try to enforce the mobility day per decade of aging is because as we age, our bodies start to lose that strength and elasticity that came so naturally when we were younger. It’s not a bad thing – it's just something to work on with more diligence as you continue to age. So how do we maintain that flexibility as we live these lives of ours? Add some dynamic and static stretching (fluid stretching vs stretching you hold for x amount of time) into your routine. It can be 15 minutes or a full session that is focused solely on that. The old saying of practice makes perfect is true here. The more you work on your mobility, the more flexibility you have, the more strength you can unlock, and the more recovery you can give to yourself after good effort in the gym. Some mobility drills and movements I give my clients are: - Inch worms into a cobra - Worlds greatest stretch - Standing flag pole stretch with a PVC pipe - Prone pinwheels - Ankle dorsi flexion against a wall or on a slanted surface Learning this skill is powerful and can be a great asset to your routine and overall health. Feel free to share any of your favorite bendy movements as well. Let’s see what you got🤸‍♂️

A question for you: Do you have more high glycemic or low glycemic foods? Let’s clear something up right away! Carbs are not the problem. But the type of carbs, and how your body processes them, can absolutely be. If you’ve ever felt: - Exhausted by 3PM - Hungry shortly after eating - Frustrated that “eating clean” isn’t working There’s a good chance this comes down to one thing: 👉 Your blood sugar control And that’s exactly where the glycemic index comes in. The glycemic index explained simply: it’s a system that ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they raise your blood sugar. Think of it like a speedometer: High glycemic index foods → fast spike in blood sugar Low glycemic index foods → slow, steady release of energy Your body doesn’t just care about what you eat… It cares about how fast it hits your system. Why the Glycemic Index Matters for Blood Sugar Control According to Harvard Health Publishing and Mayo Clinic, stable blood sugar is one of the most important factors for: - Energy regulation - Fat loss efficiency - Hormonal balance - Long-term metabolic health Stable Blood Sugar = Better Everything. When you focus on low glycemic foods and balanced meals: ✅Energy stays consistent ✅Cravings decrease ✅Fat loss becomes more efficient ✅Mental clarity improves ✅Workouts feel stronger This is one of the most overlooked keys to performance after 35. Good Carbs vs Bad Carbs (Simple Breakdown) -> Let’s make this practical. Low Glycemic Foods (Good Carbs) These are your best carbs for energy and fat loss: - Oats - Sweet potatoes - Quinoa - Lentils - Chickpeas - Berries - Vegetables Why they work: - Slow digestion - Stable energy - Better blood sugar control - Longer-lasting fullness High Glycemic Foods (Bad Carbs) These are your fast-spiking carbs: - White bread - Sugary cereals - Candy - Soda - Pastries - Processed snacks Why they hurt: - Rapid blood sugar spikes - Energy crashes - Increased cravings - Easier fat storage when overused

Hip CARS stands for Hip Controlled Articular Rotations. That sounds fancy, but the concept is simple. A Hip CARS drill is a slow, controlled rotation of the hip joint through its fullest active range of motion. The goal is to move the hip as cleanly as possible without letting the lower back, pelvis, or ribs cheat the motion. In plain English, Hip CARS help you move your hip through a full circle while staying in control. This matters because most people do not actually know how well their hips move. They think they are moving the hip, but they are really borrowing motion from their back, pelvis, or knees. Hip CARS help clean that up. Why Hip CARS Matter The hip is one of the most important joints in the body. It helps you: - walk - run - squat - hinge - lunge - rotate - stabilize - absorb force - create force If your hips are not moving well, something else usually pays the price. That “something else” is often: - the lower back - the knees - the groin - the hamstrings - the feet This is why hip function matters so much. When your hips lose mobility or control, your body starts finding workarounds. Over time, those workarounds can create stiffness, poor movement patterns, pain, and performance problems. Hip CARS help you restore awareness and control at the joint itself. Why You Need Hip CARS in Your Routine A lot of people think mobility work has to be long, complicated, or exhausting. It does not. Hip CARS are one of the most efficient ways to give your hips attention every day. You need Hip CARS if: you sit a lot your hips feel stiff in the morning your lower back gets tight often you lift weights you run you play sports you feel pinching in the front of the hips your squat feels off one side of your body moves worse than the other you are over 35 and starting to feel the effects of wear and tear The truth is simple: most people wait until something hurts before they start paying attention to their hips. Hip CARS are a smart way to get ahead of that.
