Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/ZdU925k2JAg You'll never look like the 19-year-old fitness models on your Instagram feed — and chasing that is exactly what's keeping you off the gym floor and out of your own life. In this episode, I break down why fitness isn't about vanity — it's about being able to care for yourself and the people you love. It's about grocery shopping without struggling, vacuuming your own home, using the bathroom without help. It's about staying strong enough to be a support to your family and community as you age. I also tackle the objection I hear all the time: "That guy exercised his whole life and still died of a heart attack — so what's the point?" My answer might surprise you. We'll talk about: -Why chasing an Instagram body is chasing a mirage -What exercise actually does for your bones, muscles, and heart as you age -The false choice between "dying fit" and "dying weak" -The spiritual skill you need regardless of how fit you are 💪Rebuild Your Body at Home: https://uprighthealth.com/brb

At 56, Angelika felt like her body was falling apart — crippling lower back pain, numb toes, legs giving out on stairs, and shins that ached after every car ride. She even wondered if she had a neurological disease.   This is her story — how she went from struggling to get out of bed to sleeping pain-free, doing squats without knee pain, and chasing her first chin-up. If you're dealing with pain and wondering if things can actually get better, this one's for you.  👀 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/bfy2iWtmZJAhttps://youtu.be/bfy2iWtmZJA 💪Rebuild Your Body at Home with Free Workouts: https://uprighthealth.com/brb 👉Back Pain Fix: https://uprighthealth.com/backfix

“I’m strong — so why do I keep hurting?” It’s one of the most common questions I hear. In this episode, we explore the hidden gap between strength and balance — and why being fit doesn’t automatically protect your joints from pain.

▶️ Watch on YT: https://youtu.be/8vXf1pjVB0Y In this video, I'm going to share 5 key facts your doctor is unlikely to tell you about Hip Impingement / FAI. We'll look at key research findings from the last 2 decades that will dramatically change the way you think about hip pain and hip impingement. And we'll look at one major episode in medical history that shows us the path that hip impingement surgery will take too. I am not a medical doctor and this video is my non-medical opinion based on over 10 years reading and going through hip impingement research. 👉 Rebuild Your Hips at Home! https://uprighthealth.com/healthy-hips Home: https://uprighthealth.com/fai HELPFUL LINKS2011 Study: https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620x.93b5.252362015 Study: https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs11999-015-4379-62008 Osteoarthritis Study: https://doi.org/10.1080/028418508019355672011 CT Scan Study: https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620x.93b10.26433 2013 Study: https://doi.org/10.2214/ajr.12.85462020 Systematic Review on Tests: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjsem-2020-0007722014 Hip Injection Study: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00167-014-2883-yDenmark 2021 Paper: https://doi.org/10.1177/2325967121995267Shoulder Impingement Surgery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlwrrmCeojkTrial Comparing FAI Surgery to Bad PT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gtikRw6VQsThe WORST Exercises for Hip Impingement (Personalized Hip Therapy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGewmoj1p8EFAI Bone Shapes and Hip Pain: https://www.uprighthealth.com/fai-bone-shapesFAI and Labral Tears: https://www.uprighthealth.com/fai-labral-tearsHip Impingement Tests: https://www.uprighthealth.com/fai-testsSurgery for Hip Impingement: https://www.uprighthealth.com/fai-surgery Other Coaches to Help Your HipsGarret Kuljian - https://www.youtube.com/@Gmoneymvmt Mitch Hash - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHIBth5jUa03iTB_B8HCfBg Maks Reznik - https://www.youtube.com/@Maksreznik SUPPORT THE MISSION AND YOURSELF👉Rebuild Your Body At Home with a DIY Program: https://uprighthealth.com/diy 💪Donate: https://www.uprighthealth.com/donate❤️Become a Patron: https://patreon.com/uprighthealth👉Sign Up for the Newsletter: https://uprighthealth.com/newsletter⚡️Become a member on YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCwj1xAY55Dd-H281T1g-bQ/join👍Recommended gear (shoes, bands, etc.): https://uprighthealth.com/recommended-by-upright-health/ SOCIALS➡️ Facebook: http://facebook.com/uprighthealth ➡️ Instagram: http://instagram.com/uprighthealth🙉 Podcast: https://www.uprighthealth.com/podcasts/upright-health/ #hipimpingement #fai #hippain #hipmobility #hipsurgery #nosurgery

In this episode of the Upright Health Podcast, we’re digging into a question that comes up all the time: “How long do I have to keep doing exercise to be cured of my pain?” If you’re dealing with hip pain, back pain, shoulder pain—or really any kind of chronic pain—and you’re using exercise as your path to healing, it’s only natural to wonder when the finish line is coming. We’ve all hoped that maybe there’s just a set number of exercises or a magical plan that makes the pain disappear forever. In this episode, we explore why that hope is understandable—but ultimately misleading. You’ll learn how to shift your mindset, understand what pain is really telling you, and build a healthier, more realistic relationship with your body.   🔑 What You’ll Learn: Why the idea of “curing” pain can be misleading How your body is like a bank account (and what that means for your exercise habits) Why pain is more like hunger than a disease How ignoring early warning signs leads to more serious setbacks The dangers of chasing surgical “fixes” before exploring movement-based solutions Why balancing strength, flexibility, and endurance matters for long-term health How to build a sustainable exercise practice that keeps your body happy   🛠 Resources & Links: 🎁 Free Program: Body Rebuilding Basics (BRB) https://uprighthealth.com/brb  Follow-along workouts, mobility tutorials, and strategies to rebuild your body from the ground up. 📺 YouTube Channel: Upright Health on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/uprighthealth  More insights, exercises, and stories to help you move right, think right, and feel right.

While these toilets are marketed for comfort, they could be causing more harm than good, especially when it comes to your hips. I’ll take you back to how humans used the loo for centuries, from squatting to sitting on lower toilets—and how modern toilets could be contributing to your hip pain. In this video, I discuss: - The difference between comfort height and standard height toilets - The effects comfort height toilets have on your hips, hamstrings, and back - Why using a higher toilet could contribute to back pain - Why standard height toilets are optimal for your body’s natural alignment - Learn how small changes can have big impacts on your posture and mobility!
