Dr. Pat Davidson joins us to discuss the fine details of exercise science and how to effectively implement these concepts into training routine. Dr. Davidson offers a masterclass in classifying exercises and using that information to optimize workouts, providing listeners with actionable strategies to improve fitness outcomes. This episode is packed with valuable information that can help you train smarter and more effectively. We cover:

• Dr. Pat’s “7 Pillar” system for categorizing all possible exercises
• How exercise selection can be as precise as a physician prescribing medication, and the ways Dr. Pat’s system allows us to choose the right “medicine” every single time
• How breathing is a microcosm of whole body movement and the ways we can use breathing to affect movement everywhere else
• Reducing subjectivity in evaluating movement by using objective standards
• How to approach working with general populations, athletic populations, and special populations

If you want to understand movement at a deeper level, this episode is for you!
