Episode Description

If you've been hiking, riding, and paddling all summer and your body feels more beat up now than it did in May — this episode explains exactly why. It's not that you've done too much.


It's that outdoor sport alone builds fatigue faster than resilience over a full season without the strength work that maintains the structural foundation underneath it. Dr. Liz Koch, DPT breaks down the summer fitness paradox and gives you four specific movements to start this week — upper trunk mobility, deep core stability, scapular strength, and single leg hip work — that address exactly what your outdoor season has been depleting.

Twenty minutes. Two to three times a week.

The women who show up to fall feeling their best are the ones who started in August.
