Courses Followed: Hip Control, Hip Flexibility Solution
Hi Eric,
I invested in Hip Control because I recently completed HFS and had very good results from it, and while I still enjoy the HFS routines and find them to be effective, I want to learn new techniques to hopefully progress and improve further. I’ve been working at a desk job for about 15 years, combined with a fairly high volume of leg exercise in my off hours (squatting, deadlifting, olympic lifts, running, etc), and I had neglected true mobility training up until this year when I started HFS (I say “true” because I thought I was doing mobility work, but it was either not enough or not effective). So needless to say, my body, especially the legs/hips, have taken a lot of abuse. Earlier this year I started to pay the price in the form of injuries and chronic stiffness.
HFS has repaired a good amount of that damage and has improved my hip flexibility/mobility significantly in just a few months, but I know that realistically it’s going to take longer than that to erase 15 years of abuse. I figure that if I’m going to continue trying to improve, I might as well learn some new techniques and figure out which ones are most effective for me (maybe it’ll be some combination of what I learn in HC and HFS, we’ll see). In particular, I’d like to strengthen my hips and other leg muscles in a way that keeps them balanced, so that I avoid the compensatory M/APs going forward.
