If you do and you still haven’t succeeded I urge you to stay and finish the article that could change your rest of your life. If this sentence isn’t sufficient I promise that you will be rewarded if you stay till the very end.
According to my study, you have to both manage your diet and maintaining active life, meaning workout every week.
First I will introduce tips on eating healthier and more organize and then I will recommend you on workout program that can do miracles to your health and your mood.
HEALTHY DIET
Eating mindfully
Mindful eating is a practice where people pay attention to how and where they eat food. If you will be aware to what you eat, it may enable you to enjoy the food you eat and maintain a healthy weight.
Most people have busy lives, so they often tend to eat quickly on the run. As a result, you barely aware of the food you are eating.
Here are few Techniques for mindful eating that I recommend implementing in your next meals:
A) Sitting down to eat, preferably at a table: Pay attention to the food and enjoy the experience.
B) Avoiding distractions: Do not eat while watching TV, or working in the laptop or phone.
C) Eating slowly: Take time to chew and savor the food. This technique helps givers the brain enough time to recognize the signals that they are full, which can help to prevent over-eating.
D) Making considered food choices: Choose foods that are full of nourishing nutrients and those that will make you full for hours.
Eating protein for breakfast
Protein can regulate appetite hormones to help people feel full. This is mostly due to a decrease in the hunger hormone ghrelin and a rise in the satiety hormones peptide YY, GLP-1, and cholecystokinin.
Research on young adults has also demonstrated that the hormonal effects of eating a high-protein breakfast can last for several hours.
So, invest more minutes in your breakfast routine and enjoy a healthier and more satisfying meal.
Here is a list of 14 foods that are high in protein:

Protein content: 16% of calories. One ounce (28 g) has 7 grams, with 159 calories.
Cutting back on sugar and refined carbohydrates
The Western diet is increasingly high in added sugars, and this has definite links to obesity.
Refined carbohydrates are heavily processed foods that no longer contain fiber and other nutrients. These include white rice, bread, and pasta.
These foods are quick to digest, and they convert to glucose rapidly.
Excess glucose enters the blood and provokes the hormone insulin, which promotes fat storage in the adipose tissue. This contributes to weight gain.
Where possible, you should swap processed and sugary foods for more healthful options.
Good food swaps include:
A) whole-grain rice, bread, and pasta instead of the white versions.
B) fruit, nuts, and seeds instead of high-sugar snacks.
C) herb teas and fruit-infused water instead of high-sugar beverages
D) smoothies with water or milk instead of fruit juice.
Eating plenty of fiber
Fiber has enormous benefit of leaving your stomach undigested and ends up in your colon, where it feeds friendly gut bacteria, leading to various health benefits.
The recommended daily intake is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men (6).

Summary
It is important to remember that there are no shortcuts when it comes to weight loss.
The best way to reach and maintain a healthy weight is to eat a nutritious, balanced diet.
This should include 10 portions of fruit and vegetables, good-quality protein, and whole-grains. It is also beneficial to exercise for at least 30 minutes 3 days every week, which I will introduce now.
EXERCISE REGIME
The benefits of from regular exercise is astounding and life changing. It only takes to one to search the web and encounter thousands of researchers that urge to maintain exercise regime both for your mental and physical health. These benefits include the following:
- Increased energy and stamina.
- Improved sleep.
- Increased interest in sex.
- Better endurance.
- Improvement in mood.
- Weight reduction.
- Stress relief.
- Reduced tiredness that can increase mental alertness.
- Reduced cholesterol and improved cardiovascular fitness.
WITH EXERCISING THE HIP FLEXORS PROGRAM YOU CAN ACHIEVE ALL THOSE BENEFITS
Inside the program you will discover:
Exactly how to target those hard-to-reach muscles with detailed, step-by-step walk-through videos of every single Key Move (simple, clear demonstration of each and each move will help them become second nature in no time).
The No.1 single most important element of human body posture and why your hips hold the key to peak performance (if this fails, your performance is drastically affected whether running, walking or even just standing).
The true impact of your body’s “Mighty Muscle” and how it is really affecting your physical, emotional and spiritual well being (you’ll be shocked how big an impact this has on your everyday life).
How your body’s natural survival response has been tricked into permanent “danger” mode, and how you can switch it off to see faster fat loss and more energy (the reasoning behind this is crazy, but completely true).
The main causes for your psoas muscle to change structure, a major danger sign for your body (any change, however minimal, has an overwhelming impact that ripples across your body causing other muscle groups to compensate).
Why you’re just as likely to be affected by this problem if you’re a balls-to-the-wall gym rat training 24/7 or a couch potato.
Why, if you have a desk job or drive a car for long periods, you need to act NOW.
The shocking reason your intense core workouts could be doing more harm than good if you haven’t loosened your hips first (and why crunches and sit-ups won’t do a thing to help).
Why strong legs and glutes are important to your overall health and why you need to prevent too much flexion of your hips.
How trauma, injury and stress can build up within your posture and how it will ultimately affect your psychological state.
Why the “cure” isn’t simply to stop sitting (you need to be more pro-active in targeting the muscles affected to undo the damage from sitting all day).
Why the damage is most likely ALREADY done and exactly what you need to do to redress those deep-seeded imbalances before the damage becomes permanent (if this doesn’t kick you into action, nothing will…)
Why “comfort” and “support” are the enemies of our natural physiology and how we can start to move back towards our natural posture (forget pillows, support cushions and belts.)
How tight hips affect your sexual performance through decreased blood flow and circulation and what you can do about it right now to achieve peak sexual health again.
Why some guys end up with “old-guy butt syndrome” that isn’t sexy but also inevitably leads to hip pain and how to avoid it by loosening the hips.
The 2 situations you NEED to be aware of when training your glutes to ensure they’re properly activated for maximum athletic performance.
How to clear your mind and re-energize your thinking simply through learning how to relax your psoas muscle (this alone will help you wipe stress from your mind in an instant).
Plus much more…

Comeback from difficult injury
“Being an athlete all my life and having endured multiple knee surgeries due to blowing out ACL’s in both knees, I later started to develop a hip issue in my right hip due to the years of wear and tear. It actually got so bad it was hard for me to perform as an athlete as well as be a productive coach for my clients.
After getting an MRI to have it checked out, I realized I had a degenerative arthritic condition in the hip that is not reversible. Surgery was not an option I wanted to go through so I contacted Rick Kaselj to see if he had something for me. When I started to apply the strategies from Unlock Your Hip Flexors it helped me re-balance my pelvis and hip joint to where I couldn’t even tell I had an issue anymore. These days I’m stronger and faster than ever and still competing in sports. Rick gave me the ability to perform at my highest level as a coach and regain the athletic ability I had lost over the years from wear and tear. I’ve been using Rick’s strategies for years to help myself manage and recover from injuries as well as countless members of the fitness community. I couldn’t recommend this product enough!”

Living better life
“I have known Rick Kaselj since college. Since then I have gone to Chiropractic college and become a Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology and a Diplomate in Clinical Nutrition. As a result I have come to some important conclusions about how the body works. Hip flexibility, mobility and strength is one of the most important things you can do to keep your overall body healthy. The way we moved thousands of years ago is our natural state, which requires flexible and mobile hips.
I was excited to here about Rick Kaselj’s Unlock Your Hip Flexors program and have read the manual and watched the videos. I was very impressed with the content. I implemented the concepts and program into my practice with my clients.
Rick has developed a comprehensive system to unlock your hips and restore movement the way it should be. Everyone could benefit from Unlock Your Hip Flexors. The two most important things to live a long healthy live is good quality whole food and great movement and which requires great hip mobility. I cannot recommend this program enough.”

It’s important to note that if you don’t see outcome after trying this program fully, you will GET YOUR MONEY BACK
Here is a taste of what you gonna get in the book:
And this awesome stretching techniques:
A) PNF STRETCHING:
PNF is an acronym for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It is a technique where you are activating a specific muscle in order to relax the muscles around a joint so you can decrease the stiffness around a joint.
B) DYNAMIC STRETCHING:
This is where you are activating the muscle around a joint and moving that joint through its full range of motion in a progressive manner. This leads to an increased range of motion around the joint, warming up of the muscle around the joint and improved circulation around the joint. Think of high knees or butt kicks.
3) 3-DIMENSIONAL CORE STABILITY EXERCISES:
With these exercises we are targeting the muscle in all planes of movement so the core and abdominal muscles have good activation, endurance and strength in all planes of movement which leads to a decrease in unnecessary damaging stress on joints.
4) MOBILITY EXERCISES:
In these exercises, we are targeting the joint and doing movements and exercises that help the joint function optimally. This allows a joint to move more freely.
5) FASCIA STRETCHING:
In this unique technique, we are targeting the tissue that muscles are surrounded in and working on loosening and lengthening the fascia. Few people understand the negative effect this tissue can have on your body.
6) MUSCLE ACTIVATION MOVEMENTS:
Due to all of our sitting and daily technology use, many of our muscles are not working properly. With this technique, we’re targeting those muscles that are off and activate them in order to help the body move more efficiently.
Now you know the specific techniques you need to unlock your hip flexors, the next question is how to combine these in the most effective way. Please don’t be overwhelmed by the “Shop Talk” above because…
