The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core FAQ'S

Frequently asked questions for the ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Can The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide Be Done At Home?

Yes! The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is VERY home-workout friendly. I know that over the past three years a lot of people have been doing most if not all of their training from home. I designed this program so it can be done from both home and the gym. 

What Equipment Does The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide Require?

The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is very user friendly as it mostly requires your own bodyweight and bands. Several exercises call for dumbbells or kettlebells, but if you don’t have dumbbells or kettlebells you can use household items. Several exercises use a pull-up bar, but you can use rings, a playground, or anywhere stable where you can hang. 

 

Make no mistake, while the exercises in this resource do not use much equipment, they are incredibly effective, humbling, and challenging.

How Can I Use The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide To Achieve My Goals?

The beauty of The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is there is no one-size-fits-all way to use the exercises in this incredible resource/exercise database. You have a tremendous amount of freedom and flexibility. To be clear, do what works and feels best for YOU, and do what best meets YOUR needs and goals.   

 

Here are several of many options:

 

OPTION 1: ACCESSORY EXERCISES TO ENHANCE YOUR CURRENT TRAINING 


You can use the exercises from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide to enhance the workouts you are already doing. You can use the exercises from this guide as valuable accessory exercises/fillers and can pair the exercises from this guide with your main exercises. So rather than sitting around between your main exercises, you can get a much bigger bang for your buck during your workouts! You'll keep improving, and will address weaknesses that will help you take your training and results to another level! 


You have a tremendous amount of freedom and flexibility, and can use the exercises in The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide in conjunction with any of my other programs (or any other programs you are following). 

 

An example might be:

 

Workout Superset #1: 

 

1a) Main Exercise: Staggered Stance RDL’s (from your main workout program)

1b) Accessory/Filler Exercise: Dead Bug/Band Resisted Psoas March Combo (from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide)

 

Workout Superset #2: 

 

1a) Main Exercise: Pull-Ups (from your main workout program)

1b) Accessory/Filler Exercise: Half Kneeling Hip Mobility/Hip Strengthener Against Wall (from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide)

 

Workout Superset #3: 

 

1a) Main Exercise: Rear Foot Elevated Split Squats (from your main workout program)

1b) Accessory/Filler Exercise: Wall Hip Switches + Band Resisted Psoas Marches (from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide)


OPTION 2: MAIN WORKOUT


You can build/customize your own workouts using the exercises in The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide, or you can follow the sample workouts I provide. In terms of the workouts, you can group the exercises into supersets, tri-sets, or larger circuits. While the hip flexors and core muscles are the main focus of this guide, I also include exercises that address the entire body. You'll receive an extensive exercise database to use in a way that best meets your goals and needs! 

 

To make your life easier, in the charts section of this guide, I include some sample workouts you can follow, but you can also build/customize your own workouts using the exercises from this guide.

  

OPTION 3: WARM-UP EXERCISES


You can use exercises from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide as part of your warm-up for another program/whatever workout you are doing. I recommend using 2-3 exercises from this guide as part of a warm-up superset or tri-set. So you’ll have MANY options for warm-up exercises you can do during all of your workouts. You'll never get bored!

 

OPTION 4: RECOVERY DAY EXERCISES 

 

You can use exercises from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide on off-days/recovery days. On days when you aren’t training, you can pick several exercises from this guide that address your most pressing needs/areas you want to work on. You will be able to address your weaknesses as you continue to get stronger, more athletic, and more mobile. 

Can The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide Be Done At The Gym?

Absolutely! This training resource is for both home and gym workouts. 

How Long Will Each Phase Take? 

A general guideline for each phase in The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is 4-8 weeks. It is not a race, so take your time. Focus on performing all of the exercises using your very best form, and be both mentally and physically present for 100% of your reps. 

 

Depending on the exercise/objectives of the exercise, you can progress the exercises in each phase of The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide by performing the high end of the rep range, holding each rep for more time, using a slower tempo, performing each rep more explosively (for the exercises where speed is being trained), adding more resistance (for exercises that call for resistance), and most importantly, improving your form. As I say a LOT, most exercises are not “too easy” if they are being performed correctly. This guide is no different.

When Should I Progress To The Next Phase? 

I am asked this question a lot. The answer is, it depends. While I suggest 4-8 weeks per phase as a general guideline, do what works and feels best for you. If you progress the exercises like I suggested above, 4-8 weeks (or more if you need) is a good timeline for most people. Do not rush. Advance to doing exercises in the next phase when YOU are ready.

How Long Will Each Workout Take?

If you are using the exercises from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide as a full workout and are following some of the sample workouts I have given you, or are creating your own workouts using the elaborate exercise database/menu, each workout will likely take about 30 minutes to complete. You have the freedom and flexibility to use the exercises in this guide in a way that best meets YOUR goals, individual needs, and training schedule.  

 

If you are using the exercises from this guide as part of your warm-up, as filler exercises during your main workout, or on off-days, the overall length of time will vary (and should be less time than if you are using the exercises as a full workout).

How Many Days Per Week Are The Exercises From This Guide To Be Done? 

You can use exercises from The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide most days of the week. I do recommend taking off at least one full day from training.  So the frequency you use these exercises will depend on your ideal training schedule, goals, individual needs, etc. While these are my recommendations, figure out what works and feels best for YOU. 

What Resistance Should I Use For The Exercises/How Do I Select The Resistance? 

For each exercise I provide you with a target rep range. For instance, I might recommend 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps. No matter what form of resistance you are using (bodyweight, band, dumbbell, or kettlebell, etc), you should select an amount of resistance that allows you to hit the target number of reps using good form. As I talk about all the time, form matters! The resistance you select should feel challenging, particularly for your final few reps, but not so challenging that you can’t hit the target number of reps. Also, the resistance shouldn’t be so challenging that you aren’t able to perform 100% of your reps using good form. 

 

As a general rule, select a resistance where at the end of the set you feel like you could have performed 1-2 more high quality reps. Remember, it is better to be conservative when you are choosing a resistance versus using too much resistance, and not being able to perform the exercise correctly. Quality trumps quantity! 

How Are The Workouts Organized?

If you follow the sample workouts I have given you in The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide (although this is not the sole purpose of this guide as I am giving you a massive database of exercises you can use in many different ways), in order to provide you with a bigger bang for your buck, and to make the workouts more time efficient, the exercises in each workout are to be done in supersets. 

 

A superset is two exercises that are performed back to back. In phases 1 to 3, in each workout, I have included 2-3 sets of 3 supersets, and in the introductory phase, I have included 2-3 sets of 2 supersets. After each set of the superset, you will rest for the prescribed amount of time. That being said, if you need to take more rest, please feel free to! I want you to feel fresh for each set! This guide and all of my programs are designed to make you better, not exhausted!  

Can The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide Be Done In Conjunction With Another Program I Am Following (and this includes any of my programs, including The Ultimate Pull-Up Program, The Ultimate Push-Up Program, The Ultimate Lower Body And Core Program, The Ultimate Pistol Squat Program, and The Ultimate Landmine Program)?

Absolutely! You have a tremendous amount of freedom and flexibility, and can use the exercises in The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide in conjunction with any of my other programs (or any other programs you are following). To be clear, do what works and feels best for YOU, and do what best meets YOUR needs and goals! 

I Am A Strength Coach/Personal Trainer. Will The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide Be Useful To My Coaching?

Yes! As with all of my programs, The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is a fantastic resource for coaches! I intentionally designed this guide to serve as a very comprehensive manual/exercise database coaches will have at their disposal. Whether you want to add some new exercises to your arsenal, or improve your coaching and cueing, or programming, The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide will help you accomplish that! 

 

With my pull-uppush-uplower body and corepistol squat, and landmine programs, I have received thousands of amazing messages and testimonials from coaches who have purchased my programs to use as a learning tool, and they (and their clients) have reaped the benefits. I expect the same trend to occur with The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide.

Is The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide an app?

No. The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is not an app. I find most apps, including the ‘’popular and flashy’’ ones, to be very disappointing and often lazily put together. They lack the detail and thoroughness so you are not being taught how to perform the exercises properly. 

 

I care about substance and want you to achieve the best possible results. So while some fit-pros might say PDF’s are outdated, I highly disagree. Good programs/PDF’s will NEVER go out of style! 

 

100% of the exercises in ALL of my programs come with an incredibly comprehensive written form description/my coaching tips, a video, and a photo. In most of the apps I’ve seen, the guidance you are being given is mediocre at best. Also, very little education is being delivered. All of my content EDUCATES, EMPOWERS, and EXCITES!

 

I want you to feel like I’m there working with you in person. Many of my customers have told me they feel like I’m ‘’in their head’’ or am with them in person. This is absolutely a big objective of mine. I truly care and want you to achieve the best possible results! I leave no stones unturned and take no shortcuts.

 

For your convenience, I am also giving you a separate PDF that includes only the exercise charts and sample workouts. However, to ensure you are performing each exercise correctly, and so you achieve optimal results, I absolutely recommend you read through all of the comprehensive exercise tutorials and tips I give in The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide, and watch all of the videos. This is important and will improve your results! 

Is The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide suitable for men?

This should go without saying, YES! The Ultimate Hip Flexor And Core Guide is for people of ALL genders. 

How Do I Know If My Hip Flexors Need To Get Stronger?

This simple “test” is one of MANY ways you can determine whether your hip flexors might need to get stronger. Sit on the floor and fully extend your legs. While keeping your torso and hips stacked and still, and legs fully extended, lift one (or both) leg and foot at least several inches off the floor and hold for a count. If this is a struggle, and if you feel yourself compensating, your hip flexors likely need to get stronger.

What Some Top Coaches/Customers Have Said About My Programs

Gareth Sapstead, MSc CSCS

Meghan has done it again with arguably the most important program yet in the "Ultimate" series. The development of single-leg strength should be a fundamental component of any good program, regardless of age, gender, body composition or athletic goal. Yet, it's often overlooked or treated as an afterthought. 


The Ultimate Pistol Squat Program will change that, making your single leg strength a priority and ultimately improving many other aspects of your training and lifestyle. You'll not find a more comprehensive guide on how to improve your single-leg squatting ability.


Steven Mack - Personal Trainer And Athlete

I purchased The Ultimate Pull-Up Program and Ultimate Landmine Program, and I have to say you’ve really outdone yourself with this one. I’ve never seen anyone approach the pull-up or push-up in such a comprehensive manner. 


If you follow along, not only will you get a great program, you’ll also learn a lot about how the shoulder works. I can really tell you’ve poured a lot of time into teaching people. Starting with a basic framework, you’ve shown how anyone can grow from whatever strength level they’re currently at.


The Ultimate Push-Up Program has helped me level up the amount of control and stamina I have performing push-ups, and I haven’t even gotten through to the third phase yet. Within a couple of months, I’ve experienced a noticeable difference in the amount of core stability I possess.


I am also a personal trainer. The Ultimate Push-Up Program is the #1 thing that’s made a difference in coaching my clients forward towards push-ups. I’ve learned to approach programming differently because of the foundational knowledge that you share.


My favorite part of this program is how you took the time to specifically talk about the goal, and regression and progression of each exercise. In training, a lot of clients have varying goals but many of the women I work with want to be able to perform a push-up. This program does exactly that for clients and I couldn’t repay you enough for crafting it.


Jenni Rawlings - Coach

I love Meghan’s Ultimate Hip Flexor and Core Guide! It truly is your one-stop-shop for complete and effective strengthening (and mobilizing) of this all-important area of the body. This guide is packed with educational info about the hip flexor and core region, and the hand-picked selection of exercises Meghan has curated is both thorough and creative. You’ll always have a new and interesting way to challenge this region of the body with this very smart program!


Joe Gilfedder - Senior Associate Athletic Director For Sports Performance at Fordham University

"I’ve Used The Ultimate Pull-Up Program With HUNDREDS Of My University Athletes"


Meghan Callaway is an incredibly valuable resource for me in my development as a strength and conditioning coach to over 550 student athletes. She is one of the few coaches on social media I religiously follow to make sure I never miss a post!


Her ingenuity, attention to detail in exercise execution, and mastery of basic human movement prompted me to invest in her Ultimate Pull-up Program. As a coach to a wide array of collegiate athletes, I truly value the pull-up as a foundational movement. Controlling our body weight in space is a critical part of developing strong, injury resilient athletes.


Meghan has included numerous progressions/regressions and assistance exercises to build mastery of the pull-up no matter where you currently stand on your pull-up journey. In fact, the programs are so comprehensive, I’ve seen huge carryover to exercises outside of just pull-ups.


This book truly is the gold standard when it comes to mastering the pull-up by giving athletes the blueprint to go from Zero to Hero on Pull-ups!


Emily Fauser - Athlete 

I am so grateful I found Meghan in 2018 as I searched for ways to excel at pull-ups. She had just re-released her Ultimate Pull-Up Program and it was exactly what I was looking for; a comprehensive, detailed program to guide me toward pull-up success. When she released her Ultimate Landmine Program, I had to purchase it, even though I really had no interest in landmine training at the time. I came to trust Meghan as a trainer, and she described the program as suitable for athletes. 


As a competitive athlete, I thought it couldn't hurt to try this new program out. I'm so glad I did! I loved the program and learned so much through it, as well as gained incredible levels of strength I never would have expected, not to mention, a lot of interest from people at my gym, who would always notice me in the corner with the barbell 3 days a week.


Now, Meghan has come out with her latest product, The Ultimate Push-Up Program. Though I'm already able to perform push-ups, I know I need to improve my form. I have started this program from the beginning at Phase 1, and am patiently working through the 4 phases. I have learned there is no need to rush and there is a reason the exercises are in the prescribed order. Each phase builds upon the last and includes regressions if needed and progressions as well.


Meghan's level of detailed instruction is unmatched when I compare to other trainers I follow. She breaks down each individual exercise point by point so it's as if she is there to guide me personally. My favorite part of all her programs is that she includes a video demonstration for every exercise. I watch her videos many times over, then film myself, and compare to see if I look like Meghan or not. The videos alone are extremely helpful to me.


I consider Meghan my trainer, even though I don't have personal sessions with her. She has created such high quality programs that will undoubtedly make you stronger. The only thing you have to do is commit to following her program, and then as Meghan likes to say, "The sky is the limit!
