Always a good time chatting/catching up with my friend and fellow fitness coach - Alex Engelman. Alex is based out of Austin, TX and does both in-person + online personal training alongside nutrition coaching. Topics discussed on this episode:

-Differences between working with an online vs in-person trainer.

-What to look for in a trainer, red flags and considerations when hiring a coach.

-Common timelines when getting into weightlifting - going from beginner -> intermediate -> advanced.

-Using food tracking as a tool + how that leads to sustainable flexibility.

-Muscle soreness - why it isn't always the best proxy for a good workout session.

-Celebrating the small victories - why it's important, why you should do it and what to look out for.

+so much more in-between.
