#179: Q&A: Inner thigh toning, the effectiveness of minimal equipment workouts, and muscle confusion
In this focused Q&A episode, Dr. Shannon is joined by Evlo instructors, Dr. Payton and Dr. Jill. We explore effective inner thigh exercises and the reality of "toning" specific body areas. We explain our approach to equipment and why we've chosen our current model. For those with time constraints, we discuss how to optimize limited workout sessions and why we don't offer a specific minimal routine. Finally, we delve into the efficacy of repeating workouts and critically examine the concept of muscle confusion. This episode provides practical insights for tailoring your fitness routine, understanding exercise science, and achieving sustainable results.
