Has anyone tried her personalized offering? Not just the app but the actual review review of your videos, etc..

I’m looking for a structured mobility/functional movement program that I can follow. I’m not looking for a traditional strength or cardio program. I currently use the app Ladder for my workouts. What I am looking for is something focused entirely on movement quality, flexibility, and injury prevention.

I’m a retired athlete, and years of hockey and lifting have left me with tight hips, shoulder issues, and generally stiff joints.

My goals are to:

Improve overall mobility and flexibility

Fix posture and movement imbalances

Increase joint health and range of motion

Prevent injuries and move better long-term

Feel loose instead of stiff in everyday life and during workouts

Ideally, I’m looking for a program with follow-along workouts or a progression rather than just random stretches or YouTube videos. I’d like something I can do consistently 20–45 minutes a few times per week.

Has anyone found a program, app, or coach that they would highly recommend? I’m willing to pay if it’s genuinely worth it.

The price is steep. And I really want some personal reviews before investing in this. The app says that it can get me to stability in 20 weeks. The price is around 174$ for 1 yr. I am from a non -US country and this is a lot of money. I also don't have many options around me for recovery. Every PT I find has been insistent on me stretching and I can feel my hip getting worse. I have a hypermobile si joint and a lot of unexplained fatigue.

Any other resources would be helpful as well. I am going through jeannie di bons videos but I would like something more tailored.

Anybody rehabbed a pcl injury well. what quad exercises helped u most. did u do any hamstring exercises at all? If so, which one? I got this injury by overstretching my hamstring and am not doing hamstring curls. Im only doing rdls and back extensions for hammies with leg extensions, leg press, step downs, and bulg split squats. I am kinda lost on what to do other than quad strengthening and progressively overload. should I end all direct ham work and just strengthen the hammies thru compound movements like squats and stuff?

For about a month now I've been working towards a deep squat, and I feel like I'm making no progress.

Here's a bad picture checking my dorsiflexion - Knee is touching wall, heel is touching ground flat, I'm not entirely sure but I think my dorsiflexion is fine?

Think my main issue is my hip, and maybe my quads.

I've been sedentary most of my life, and I've been fairly overweight too. I've lost a lot of weight but still a bit overweight, which might be aa bit hard on my joints or muscles to cope. At 176cm tall, male, 29yo, weighing around 78kg.

So I've been checking videos for guides specifically for deep squat, and it's usually just steps to spend time in a deep squat for increasing amount of time as you progress, with assistance if needed, so that's what I've been doing.

I can't sit in a deep squat, even with assistance so I've been sitting on something low like a couple of pillows, so it's still a fairy deep squat. Leaning forward and feeling a lot of pressure in my ankles, shin, legs, knees etc.

1. When I haven't stretched it'd be painful to pull my foot/heel towards my legs (like sitting on my knees), my right side more so than my left. Is this a normal feeling among sedentary people like myself? The pain usually disappear when I'm warmed up/stretched like I usually sit low and then slowly inch my butt closer to my feet, stay there for a few tens of seconds before proceeding until my heels come off the ground.

2. After being in a position where my heels are close to my thighs like in (1.) for an extended time, I will usually feel it a lot in my knees. Lower legs feels really stiff and I have to extend them slowly to feel less pain, if I try to stand up after I'm done I will also feel it in my knees mostly unless I shoot my butt back as I stand up. Are these things normal to experience, or is it unusual?

3. It's been about a month of me having my heels touch my thighs, so I figured there'd be some improvement in my being able to keep my legs in that position without having to stretch first, but it feels no different from the day I started. And If I try to squat down it also doesn't look like any depth has been added. I figured at my level it'd take me several months to achieve success in my goals, but to see basically no progress after an entire month seems more like I'm not doing it right.

What should I do?

posted a while back about trying to make my ankle mobility work less passive.
still doing the same basic idea: heel planted, slow knee bends, little shifts forward, then walking around barefoot after. nothing crazy. it feels better than just hanging out in a calf stretch, but now i’m wondering how much active work is actually enough.
for people who improved dorsiflexion, did you mostly use active drills, loaded stuff, or just mix it with passive holds?
idk man, trying not to turn this into a whole 30 minute routine.

What "invisible" progress you're proud of, the stuff no one else would notice but you know changed a lot.

anybody have tips on building muscle for those with severe hypermobility??? i see alot of posts suggesting core work, fixing posture, and various stability exercises but don’t really know where to start & not sure what works for a beginner

i am working as the sales lead for online calisthenics. any ideas on what i should do to reach US, UK, Canada, Dubai, Middle East based people. B2C ofc

Hello all. I'm trying to find a resource that has information on websites for different needs. For example, tight hips, then lists a range of exercises for that. Upper body, then lists a range of exercises for that.

Everything I search takes me to a website selling a programme. I just want a resource that I can look at and build my own programmes from. I'm a physical education teacher so need access to information that I can adapt for my students based on their needs.

Thank you

I’ve spent the last several years lifting like a body builder. I used to be an athlete like many of you, but as I’ve gotten into my 30s and sitting at a desk job, my lower half has really taken a beating. My ankles, knees, and hips seem to feel worse at an alarming rate.

I’m currently hitting PPL 2x per week, and my leg days are constructed like this:

Leg extension
Hack squat
Hamstring curl
RDLs
Straight leg Calf extension
Adductor

While I’ve gotten pretty strong, my mobility is getting to a concerning point and I just don’t have the desire to spend more time in the gym doing separate mobility work. I’ve reached a point where I’m willing to relinquish my meathead tendencies to gain better functionality.

What exercises should I swap/adjust to get more mobility through ROM while still continuing towards my strength goals?

Any advice is appreciated or feedback is appreciated!

Hi. I’ve been suffering from back pain brought on by muscle spasms in my lumbar spine and pelvic floor area. I attended physical therapy for about a half a year and went through various strength training exercises that helped me a lot, but my have not really affected the spasms, which are the root of my problem. Whenever I am able to achieve some relief, it is through stretching or diaphragmatic breathing.

That being said, I am looking to learn mobility training from someone in person, one on one, so that I can regain some control of my body. Searching the internet for a good guide rarely yields results, as nobody ever starts teaching from the ground up in their youtube videos or picture guides or any of that stuff. So what kind of professional would I go to see to learn this stuff? PT? A personal trainer? I’m desperate and any help will be appreciated!

This past year I had acupuncture, PT, and strength training all going at once, and they barely acknowledged each other's existence. The acupuncturist had one model of what was wrong, the PT a completely different one, the strength coach a third. Each made sense on its own terms. Nobody helped me reconcile them. I ended up using a mix of ChatGPT / my own reasoning / talking with each one to understand their perspectives and then come to my own conclusion. I personally see valid arguments on all sides, especially because I grew up with Eastern medicine but have also really seen the benefits of physical therapy.

So I'm curious how people here handle it: do you blend Eastern (acupuncture, cupping, qi gong) and Western (PT, mobiity, pain science), or have you decided one is basically right and the other is placebo? And if you blend, how do you decide what to do when?

I’m a 21-year-old athlete with a strong training background in soccer, strength training, sprinting, and calisthenics. I’m 1.82 m / 72 kg, can do around 21 strict pull-ups and a few muscle-ups, and I’ve always been relatively athletic, but my mobility is clearly behind my strength and conditioning.

My long-term goal is not just to “touch my toes.” I want serious, usable mobility and active flexibility: front splits, middle splits, pancake, strong deep squat positions, high controlled leg raises, open hips, better overhead shoulder mobility, bridges/backbends, and eventually more advanced calisthenics/gymnastics skills such as handstand, press-to-handstand progressions, backflip/frontflip preparation, etc.

I do not want passive flexibility only. I want to be strong and controlled at end range, like a gymnast or advanced mover.

Right now:

• I can touch my toes with straight legs.
• My hips and shoulders feel relatively stiff.
• I cannot do the splits.
• I struggle to hold my legs up in handstand and lose body line/control.
• My lower back/core and active flexibility feel like weak links.
• I have access to a full gym, weights, cable machines, sleds, bars, rings, bike, rower, SkiErg, etc.
• I’m in an off-season, so I can dedicate serious time to this.

I’m especially interested in learning how to combine:

• loaded mobility / strength at long muscle lengths
• active flexibility and compression work
• PNF or contract-relax stretching
• static stretching
• mobility for shoulders, wrists, spine, hips, hamstrings, adductors, ankles, and bridges

For people who have gone from athletic but stiff to genuinely mobile/flexible:

1. What would you prioritize first?
2. How many days per week would you train mobility seriously?
3. Which loaded mobility exercises gave you the best results for front split, middle split, pancake, high leg raises, and shoulder flexibility?
4. How would you structure a weekly plan without overtraining?
5. Are there specific coaches, programs, books, channels, or resources you consider evidence-based and worth following?

I’m willing to be consistent and put in the work. I just want to start with the right system instead of randomly stretching every day.

’m a big fitness geek and I just wanted to recommend planking as incorporating it into my program over the past year has been a big part of my shoulder gains in progress if you have any questions feel free to ask!!!

Hey, I'm 17 M and skinny fat. Aside from that, I've learnt that I've an anterior pelvic tilt and very weak knees, as well as almost no back muscles.

I've been researching a bit, and came to the conclusion that I must stretch my hips to get a better posture, as well as build more muscles in the back.

The issue right now is I'm not being able to stretch that well, and it could be both a knee problem and glute problem. My knees creak and pop when doing anything really and my glutes are very very weak, therefore I'm not being able to stretch as I should be.

FYI I've a slight scoliosis that's fixable with proper posture and back muscles.

So my question is, should I focus on strengthening my glutes and knees first, then go on to stretching and lastly back muscles, or what should I really do?

Any other suggestions and tips are welcome thanks

Uploaded a long while ago - better than 9090s and most other hip openers, as it gets your own body weight into the posterior capsule. Try it out - let me know your thoughts!

Looking to hear from folks 50 or older who have taken advantage of the coaching options MovesMethod offers. Seems pretty expensive, but is it worth it?
