Course Description

You (or your client) may have been told that “your glutes aren’t firing.” You may have heard the phrases “gluteal amnesia” and “dead butt syndrome.” You may have seen such reputable sources as the New York Times Wellness section reporting on this phenomenon. It would be understandable if you came to believe that there is an epidemic of people’s butt muscles “turning off.” Is this really a thing? 

In this 2-hour course, we’ll dive down the glute amnesia rabbit hole as a way of exploring how a little bit of research can get turned into a whole lot of nonsense. We’ll explore how traditional media (I’m looking at you, NYTimes!) and social media perpetuate unscientific thinking. And we’ll learn to spot bullshit from a mile away!
