Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D.

Guest: Andrea Hayden MS, RSCC - Sports Performance Coach

Description: The amount of “exercise” information, recommendations, plans, and opinions out there is greater than it’s ever been. Although our increasing knowledge is generally helpful, it’s easy to get lost in the rapidly evolving sea of information. This is particularly true because much of the information we hear is contradictory, and many people claim to have the perfect (and only) answer for us. Our goal for today is to help you cut through all of this noise and focus on what you really need to know to establish a successful workout routine for yourself.

The three big questions we will tackle in this episode are: 1) What is meant by an “ideal” or “optimal” workout plan?

2) How do I make sense of all the exercise recommendations out there?

3) What do I need to do to create an ideal exercise routine for my needs?

To help us answer these questions, my guest today is the Head Sports Performance Coach for the Minnesota Lynx WNBA Basketball Team, Andrea Hayden MS, RSCC.
