It’s time to unlock the power of your hips.

On this “Master Instructor Roundtable,” join hosts, and NASM Master Instructors, Wendy Batts, and Marty Miller, as they pull back the curtain on why your hips might be the missing link to peak performance, pain-free movement, and good posture. Is your modern lifestyle or favorite workout routine holding back your athletic potential?
