07/28/21 • 30 min

This week on the Exercise Is Health podcast, Julie and Charlie discuss the concept of muscle shortening. While it may sound bizarre, it is extremely important that your muscles are able to do this! So often we are told by mainstream fitness to focus on muscle lengthening or to do specific exercises to lengthen our muscles. However, this often causes more issues than it solves. Learn why this is and what to do about it in this week's episode!
