I have checked many guides about working out and weight loss, but Unlock Your Hip Flexors book is probably one of the unique ones I’ve ever seen.
This guide talks about how to loosen your hip flexors (psoas) to lose belly fat, have more energy, improve sexual performance, and much more besides. Other programs generally teach us how to exercise and train to lose weight or get in shape.
To tell the truth, I did not know many things about hip flexors or psoas, and why tight flexor muscles are so bad. So, I was curious when I purchased the ebook. People interested in physical development will always look for ways to improve.
I was curious since this program is definitely a top seller having hundreds of positive reviews online and not just on the official website. It has already helped many people eliminate back and joint pain, lose belly fat, have more energy, and even enhance sexual health.
Fitness pros Mike Westerdal and Rick Kaselj, creators of this unique program, claim that with just 15 minutes a day of training, we can enjoy better health and get rid of many medical problems we face today.
where is the hip flexor muscle located?
They are “unforgotten” muscles of the human body that are engaged in almost every movement you make. While you walk, twist, bend, step, to mention some.
The hip flexors are a group of core muscles located around the lower spine and inside the well of the hips. These muscles are also called the psoas major muscle.
In order to successfully unlock the psoas muscle, you must target it from different angles and use a variety of exercise techniques and modalities.
Just watch the video about what are your hip flexors and what their functions are.
Why are tight hip flexors harmful?
Psoas muscle tightness causes postural problems: it pulls the low back vertebrae forward and downward toward the femur when you stand up, leading to lordosis and other symptoms such as low back pain and stiffness, as well as arthritis in the lumbar facet joints and poor posture.
If you have tight hips, every activity you do is more challenging and more exhausting. On top of that, it results in several common health problems that you would not think caused by these muscles. For example:
- Digestive issues.
- Back and joint pains.
- Walking, jogging, and running difficulties.
- Bad human body posture and balance.
- Poor sleep.
- Uncomfortable feeling in the hip muscles.
- Weakened immune system.
- Decreased sexual desire.
- Poor blood flow.
- Cardiovascular issues.
- Hip pain (locked hip).
- Higher possibility of getting an injury during workouts or any other sports.
There are so many people worldwide who suffer from these symptoms. Most would never believe that these problems may come from the tight hip flexors that can be cured quickly with the correct stretches.

- Also, there are too many add-ons that are promoted after purchasing it, that is pretty annoying. I don’t know why they didn’t put all the information into one book. But it is probably a sale tactic. Anyway, the book without extras is enough to buy since it contains all the info you will need.
Is it for you?
It is not the program for those who do not want to “work” for the results. It takes time to get flexible and to unlock your tight flexors. To reach that you should spend that short period every day exercising. However, after three weeks, you will feel the difference for sure. Determination and consistency are crucial if you want to get results.

People who work out regularly usually forget about the importance of dynamic stretching, although developing flexibility is as essential as the workout itself. Flexible muscles lead to better performance and decreased risk of injuries. So, hip flexor stretches (good hip mobility) are vital for healthy people as well.
It is common for people who sit a lot throughout the day to have back, spine, neck, or even gluteal issues. You will get rid of those issues by doing the stretching exercises in Unlock Your Hip Flexors.
No matter which group of people you are in, with 10-15 minutes of daily flexibility exercises to unlock hip flexors, you can get great health benefits and enjoy better mobility.
