Join us as Dr. Scott Lynn, Jen’s very own Biomechanics Ph.D. professor from California State University, Fullerton breaks down the research of biomechanics and brings us back to the individual in movement.  With his background working in professional sports like baseball and golf, over 20 years of publishing and reviewing research articles and journals, Dr. Lynn has uncovered the best ways to avoid injury and optimize our movement patterns.  Listen as he unleashes all of his biomechanical wisdom on how you can achieve optimal movement.  Lastly, tune in as we break down what the Coba Board is, why Dr. Lynn is involved, and how his own research on this tool reveals how it can help you achieve optimal glute activation in both a squat and hinge pattern.
