Movesmethod8mJun 2, 2026
Watch the originalComplete this 15-minute mobility routine 3-4 times per week to prevent hip replacement and maintain running ability into your 60s through targeted movement patterns that counteract running's repetitive stress.
Key takeaways
Squat calf raises + tibialis raises prevent ankle stiffness transfer
Squat calf raises + tibialis raises prevent ankle stiffness transfer
- Ankles take every step impact - if they don't move properly, knees and hips compensate and break down
- 90 seconds alternating: 10 calf raises from deep squat bottom, then 10 tibialis raises against wall
90-90 hip switches restore rotation runners lose from single-plane movement
90-90 hip switches restore rotation runners lose from single-plane movement
- Running is pure forward/backward - hips need rotation to stay healthy long-term
- 2 minutes: sit with legs at 90°, lean over front leg, switch sides, repeat
Jefferson curls with light weight train spinal flexion control
Jefferson curls with light weight train spinal flexion control
- Stand on box, roll down vertebra by vertebra with light weight, pause at bottom, roll back up
- 2 minutes total - trains spine to flex under control instead of being fragile

“If you're a runner, and you're not doing mobility, you're not training for longevity. You are training for a hip replacement.”
