Done Differently by Glen Owen - First 5 Chapters-01
Who this is for

You've been active your whole life. The old approach has stopped working.

You’re not less motivated. You’re not less disciplined. The problem isn’t you — it’s that the exercise you’ve been told to follow was never built for the body you’re living in now. Done Differently is the solution.

01

You're dealing with pain that won't go away

The shoulder. The knee. The back that has opinions. You’ve tried everything and it keeps coming back.

02

You've done everything right and still feel stuck

You show up. You put in the work.
The results don’t match the effort.
Something isn’t adding up.

03

You're thinking about the next 10, 20, 30 years

Not just the next twelve weeks. You want to still be moving freely at 75. Nobody’s given you a plan for that.

What's Inside

You're Not Broken.
You've Just Been Given the Wrong Information.

What’s actually driving the pain, the plateau, and the frustration — and what nobody told you.

Passive therapy alone doesn't fix the problem.

Massage, stretching, and passive treatments can lower pain and reduce inflammation. What they can’t do is teach your body to move better. Tightness isn’t a stretching deficiency — it’s overworked muscles covering for weaker ones. Treat the symptom and the problem stays. Strengthen the cause and the symptom disappears.

The best exercise doesn't exist.

What works brilliantly for your friend can quietly make things worse for you. Not because you’re doing it wrong, because your body is different. Your history is different. Your anatomy is different. There is no universal prescription. What cures one person is poison for someone else.

You can improve mobility, strength, and speed in a matter of seconds...and keep it.

Most people think mobility takes months of grinding work to build. It doesn’t. A little-known physiological mechanism means your body can move better, faster, and with more control within minutes of the right stimulus. Done Differently shows you exactly how to use it — and how to make the gains permanent.

"Proper form" is a myth.

There is no one correct way to do any exercise. There never was. The idea that everyone should squat the same way ignores the most important variable in the room: you. Your anatomy, your history, your body. The best technique is the one built around how you actually move — not a textbook illustration of someone else.

Your pain has a root cause. It's called asymmetry — and it started somewhere else.

Your body is not symmetrical. Some areas are stronger, more stable, or more capable than the others. When those gaps grow, your body compensates — quietly shifting work away from what’s weak to what’s stronger. The overworked areas become tight, then achy, then painful. The source of your discomfort and the location of your discomfort are rarely the same place.

Done Differently covers all five of these in depth, and more — with the research, real client stories, and the framework to finally do something about it

Endorsements

"

I’ve worked with Glen for over five years. He’s the only trainer I’ve met who starts by figuring out why something hurts instead of working around it. My knees feel great, my calves loosened up, and I spend my summers at the cottage without a second thought about either. This book is what he actually does with me.

With the same enthusiasm, optimism, and wisdom he brings to the pages of this book, he motivates, educates, and inspires me in every exercise session. I encourage you to consume this book from cover to cover, then go do something with what you learned. Your health won’t wait for a convenient time. Neither should you.
