We Cannot #evolvestrong Unless We Evolve Together
We cannot #evolvestrong unless we evolve together.
We are deepend with sadness because the events of the past few weeks have shown us how little we have evolved as a country. We are still separated by centuries-old racial divisions.
The last two weeks have given us pause, and we have stopped, listened, read, and learned. Our hearts, minds, and ears, and eyes are open, and we hope yours are as well. EVOLVE is not just a small business. We are a part of this community. We feel an obligation to use our voice. We will not be silent. We will do our best not to be tolerant or complacent.
The Smoke and Mirrors of Diet Culture
We are constantly inundated with messages about what you should eat, how you should look, and how you should move. We are told that once we check all of these boxes, our body will look a certain way, and we will be accepted and happy, right?
Wrong.
Telehealth Physical Therapy
With the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and subsequent social distancing and business closures, EVOLVE is now offering physical therapy services via telehealth.
We strive to provide the same level of high quality services over the internet, primarily using a HIPAA-secure videoconferencing system. Using this system, we believe that we can still provide you with the highest quality physical therapy care.
It's Time To Do Fitness Better
EVOLVE may look like a lot of other gyms. We have barbells, weight plates, kettlebells, dumbbells, rowers, and assault bikes ( what one of our members prefers to call “ass bikes”). But here’s the thing: We aren’t the same. Here’s why: We don’t have, scales, mirrors, transformation challenges, or diets. Oh, and we did this on purpose. Weird right?
To Supplement or Not To Supplement?
One of the number one questions that I receive as a Registered Dietitian is, “Should I be taking supplements?”. My answer is always, “Well… it depends.”
What cause a muscle to feel tight? Should I stretch?
I get asked almost daily about muscle tightness or stretching. Stretching has a certain place in our culture that’s up there with juice cleanses as a supposed elixir of life. Something tight, or hurting? Stretch it out! Need a morning routine, warm up routine, or cool down routine? Let’s throw in some stretching. Have a new injury? Must be from some tight muscles. Right?
Well… maybe. As always, the truth is complicated. The sensation of muscle tightness, or needing to stretch a muscle, is actually a complex neurological phenomenon.
