Muscle Bracing

  Last week I spent 12 hours in front of my computer taking a continuing education class on muscle rehabilitation.  Zoom is a wonderful thing in small doses, but 12 hours is a bit longer than my posterior appreciates.  The essence of the class revolved around a physiologic fact that I have appreciated in the […]

Daylight savings is here.  It is nice to have evenings in the light again.  This makes it easier for me to generate the motivation to get to the gym in the evenings to work out.  There is something about getting home when it is dark and raining that just doesn’t excite me to go right […]
