Hey everyone and welcome back to the Healthy Charleston Podcast!  We are super excited to have on Dr. Robert Schoderbek who is a sports medicine doctor in Charleston.  Dr. Schoderbek has an extensive background and experience with some very big name football teams!  You will learn a lot from our conversation with Dr. Schoderbek today. He is very passionate about what he does and he is heavily involved with the local high school teams as well.  It was very cool to hear how he has helped transform the community here in Charleston.  This episode took place during the COVID-19 Pandemic and he was so excited to see all of our weights in the gym that he couldn't resist going over to them and ripping some bicep curls!  We had a great time with Dr. Schoderbek and we can't wait for you to hear what he has to say today.  Thank you for listening to the Healthy Charleston Podcast!  

Today, we have another great episode brought to you by our very own Dr. Nate Jones!  Dr. Nate is talking about several different topics today regarding low back pain and we think it will be extremely useful to you.  Dr. Nate gets into how low back pain is the single largest cause of disability in the world and why this is.  What research has found over time is that the Western World does not have the most prevalent back pain unlike what most would think.  Sitting down in chairs doesn't necessarily produce the highest incidence of low back pain.  There are other factors that make this disability so much more complicated and Dr. Nate takes a deep dive on this topic for us today!  We hope you enjoy and thank you so much for listening to this week's episode!

This week was a fun one as we had Lee Davis join the team here at Made 2 Move to discuss all things Murph.  Lee is famously known for competing the Murph workout 16 times in 24 hours.  The CrossFit Murph workout itself consists of a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another one-mile run, all done consecutively. The most challenging part of the Murph WOD is the sheer volume and length of the workout. By doing this workout 16 times within 24 hours, Lee broke a world record!  We get into the details about his training beforehand, his mindset, nutrition, and his goals for the future.  Lee has a very cool outlook on life and he is a very inspiring person.  It was great to get to talk with such a humble person and to get to hear about everything that went into his training.  We hope you enjoy!
