Fitness By Darwin

The theory of human evolution by natural selection influences all sorts of things in our lives, including how we practice medicine, eat, and even work. But unfortunately, evolution has not had the same effect on how we exercise.

For some strange reason, evolution is mainly ignored or dismissed when it comes to exercise. In this episode, we talk with Collin Carroll about the overlooked connection between Evolution and Exercise avoiding injuries, getting stronger, and looking better … especially in midlife. 

Episode highlights include:
- How humans evolved to move, and how that relates to fitness.
- Why exercise choice in the gym is crucial.
- The three main evolutionary movements we should all incorporate into our workouts.
- The exercises we should avoid that cause the most injury
- Why in midlife, we can feel prone to injuries such as shoulder pains, knee pain, and back pain.
- How to get started with any new workout routine.
