FOUR Most Effective "CORE" Exercises
WHAT THE HELL IS “TORSO STIFFNESS?”
HOW CAN IT HELP ME IMPROVE AS A RUNNER?
Great question, first we have to understand WHY MUSCLEs BECOME TIGHT in the first place…
Think about it…
- Why is one hamstring tight and not the other?
- Why is your low back always tight?
- Why is your piriformis chronically tight?
Muscle spasms and other forms of chronic muscle tightness is PROTECTIVE.
That’s right, it’s a normal response to excessive looseness in the body.
How can we reduce overall tightness in the body?
Give your joints what they’re seeking... Stiffness!
In this course, I’ve laid out my 4 MOST EFFECTIVE STIFFNESS EXERCISES that I use daily to assist athletes with the following issues:
- Hamstring Tightness
- Piriformis Tightness
- Back Spasms
- Calf Cramps
Follow this step-by-step program to GET STIFFER than ever before in a matter of weeks.

FEELING BETTER IS JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY!
Recovering from running injuries often times requires the development of stiffness. This is step 3 of my 7 step process.
- Hamstring tightness
- IT Band Syndrome
- Runner’s Knee
- Back Tightness
Complete recovery from all conditions require adequate torso endurance as a precursor to building the “Human Engine” (The Hips - Step 4)
What are some of the wrong ways of building stiffness?
- Sit ups
- Crunches
- Side bends
- Supermans
All of these actually condition you to have the abdominal area of a bodybuilder, not a runner.
Have you seen a bodybuilder run? Ya… it’s not what you’re looking for I’m sure. Training your abdominal region to become stiff is a better goal if you’re looking to run pain-free and efficiently.
Energy needs to be transferred from the ground to your foot, leg, hip and finally to propel your body forward through a race. Crunches and side bends don’t train your abdominal area to become stiff which results in “overuse injuries” and sluggish running.
This is a video course with an affiliated manual that outlines everything in a step-by-step manor. You’ll learn the four best, high reward-low risk core exercises that will improve how your feel and even improve your race times. It’s a killer deal. You’ll love it, I know you will!
Unsure of what to expect and hesitant to buy?
Yes, I get it... most people don't know what to expect, mainly because they've never seen these methods before. Without going into a long-winded explanation, just buy a course. It's all in there. If you think it's terrible then just return it for a 100% money back guarantee.

Crappy Push Ups
This video covers one way we can decrease hamstring tightness within a few minutes in many cases. The reason this works is because the hamstring is not the issue, it's the nerves as they exit the spine. This exercise can be used to keep the nerve in good health and let the hamstring chill out.
