Learn anatomy in an auditory way (EP.79)

Here’s a fun exercise to get familiar with the name of the muscles; I take you through a quick review of the major muscles of the body. This is a great way to learn, as it gives you a chance to learn without the pictures. Pictures will supplement your learning although it’s a great test of your main way of thinking and challenge your mind to think in an auditory way.

There are two links you’ll want to review; first, we discuss my free training on cues and evaluating cues. You can watch the video training here:
