As we get head into spring we should be dialing back our strength focused workouts and starting to run or hike more. With this, low back pain can be a common symptom. The lower abdominals are key to a pain free low back so, in this episode, you’ll hear how to train and assess them.    @drmattwarddc @hardyardsperformance ------------------------- Wanna be ready for any hunt this season?

We have all heard that you should cool down after exercise but as adults, and especially men, we rarely set aside the time for this. One of the issues that plagues bowhunters is pain in and around the shoulder after taking some time off over the winter. Starting the year with a shoulder injury is obviously not ideal. Wardo provides a few easy and effective ways to cool down your shoulder to prevent injury after slinging too many arrows.  @drmattwarddc @hardyardsperformance ------------------------- Wanna be ready for any hunt this season?

In this episode, Nolan talks with Matt Ward or Wardo as the listeners may know him. Matt is the host of the Hard Yards Podcast under the BTK network, formerly Quick & Dirty with Wardo. While he is newer to hunting, Matt has jumped into the deep end of mountain hunting in the last few years.  In a short time, Matt has hunted Elk in the southern Rockies, Stone Sheep in the northern Rockies, archery mule deer in Alberta, and assistant guided for California Bighorn Sheep along the Fraser. We talk about his perspective shift and lessons learned along his journey.   @hardyardsperformance @drmattwarddc  --------------------------- DEALS & OFFERS: Wanna be ready for any hunt this season?

Wardo re-engages the age old topic of tight hip flexors, otherwise known as that annoying pinch at the front of your hip crease. If you have been stretching it for months on end with no result it's time to try a new approach. Give this episode a listen for some exercises and exciting changes coming to Quick & Dirty. @drmattwarddc

Wardo digs into one of the most important aspects to achieving your health, fitness, and performance goals in 2023...nutrition. What’s the right diet to follow? Is there such a thing as the perfect diet/lifestyle? Are you eating the right nutrients at the right time? How should your goals impact eating habits? What does it take to get this right for YOU? Tune in to get a handle on this often confusing and contradictory subject. @drmattwarddc
