Why your hips are so damn tight - MartyStrength

Why your hips are so damn tight

Beer league hockey players often deal with tight hips, groin discomfort, and slower strides as they get older.

But most of the time the problem isn’t hockey. It’s the sedentary lifestyle most adult players live during the week. In this video I break down:

• Why sitting creates tight hip flexors

• Why weak glutes reduce skating power

• The vicious cycle that causes tight hips

• What beer league players should train to fix it If you want to skate faster, feel stronger on the ice, and get rid of the beer gut, you need to train like an athlete again

"I would highly recommend training with Marty both on and off the ice if you are seriously considering playing at a high level of hockey, for a long time."

Tyler Graovac

"Marty has been a big influence on my overall development as a hockey player. His on-ice skill sessions helped to improve my speed and power. Marty’s office sessions were extremely detailed and hockey specific. Marty also assisted in recommending an effective diet program for me. His personable nature made working hard enjoyable."

Scott Wilson

"Andrew Martin is both a role model and a friend. I began training with him when I was 16, and his attention to the individual athlete’s needs was evident right from the start. Working with him on a day-to-day basis has allowed me to both develop personal goals and push my limits. My workouts, in combination with the emphasis he places on healthy living and proper nutrition, have been exponential in terms of yielding the results I wish to see."
