Just the other day, I was talking to a client about tight hip flexorsâa problem a lot of people develop after years at a desk job.

Have you heard the phrase âextreme ownershipâ yet? It means accepting that you are responsible for all the factors that determine whether youâre successful in reaching a goal, not just the factors you directly control.
