Reverse Aging Using These Moves!
I’ve been a personal trainer and physical therapist for over 15 years. I’ve worked with people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who lift heavy, run marathons, and hike mountains. And I've also worked with others who struggle to get off the couch.
What’s the difference?
It’s NOT JUST age.
It’s how they take care of their body.
After working with thousands of clients, I noticed the ones who age gracefully all had a few things in common. I turned those insights into 4 key movement principles anyone can work on, starting today!
1. Take Care of Your Feet
The people who move best have mobile, strong feet.
Your feet are your foundation. They’re like the first runner in a relay. If they trip, the rest of your body (knees, hips, back) has to work overtime to compensate. Take care of your feet, and it will take care of you!
We’ve helped countless clients eliminate chronic pain just by getting their feet moving better.
Here’s a quick video explaining why foot mechanics matter so much:

Grab a tennis ball and MELT your foot. Do NOT roll — melt. Yes, there's a difference.
2. Move Your Ribcage
You know what the biggest joint in your body is? Your ribcage.
Majority of you have stiff ribcages from sitting at a desk all day. When your ribcage is stiff, you will feel symptoms in your neck, back, shoulders, and even hips.
Most of the stretches you know does not work for this region because of one core principle:
You can only move your ribcage through your using your diaphragm. AKA, BREATH!
No deep breath = no ribcage motion.
So I made you a simple ribcage routine you can do at your desk. It’s mostly breathing, and it takes 5 minutes.
Set a timer. Put yourself first for once.
Back Ribs Breathing On Desk - 8 breaths
Seated Bent Over Breathing - 8 breaths
Seated Arm Reach - 4 breaths per side
Seated Ribcage Extension Rotation - 4 reps per side
3. Engage Your Obliques/Core
A lot of people think they have a strong core. But a 15-minute plank or doing Barre 3x/week doesn’t mean your deep core is working.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
True core strength = strong obliques + a powerful deep exhale.
If you don’t know how to activate your obliques or breathe out fully, your “core” isn’t really doing its job.

4. Loose Butthole
Wait, what?! Hear me out…
A lot of people unconsciously clench their pelvic floor or squeeze their buttcheeks, which creates a “swayback” posture and tightens everything from your spine to your neck. It’s a domino effect.
The problem? Most trainers and PTs say “squeeze your glutes!” all the time, which only makes this worse.
Those who move the best? They know how to relax their pelvic floor.
