The Science Of Putting Together a Workout Routine To Hit YOUR Goals


Listen Later

Are your workouts science-backed? Dr. Shannon Ritchey, a physical therapist and the founder of Evlo Fitness, busts fitness myths and gives listeners tips to make their workouts easier, more effective, and more fun.

For Shannon, building an effective workout routine is all about choosing exercises that make you feel better and improve your health. This means prioritizing strength training, avoiding an all-or-nothing approach to fitness, and high-weight low-rep routines. Liz and Shannon discuss everything to working out in different stages of life to whether buying a fitness tracker is worth it.
