Join your host, Chelsy Barber, for an honest Q &A style chat about some of the most common fitness questions she gets as a certified personal trainer with nearly a decade of experience. Here are all the questions answered today: **CORRECTION IN THIS EPISODE: Early on when talking about static vs dynamic stretching, I said to hold a static stretch for 30-60 MINUTES -- I meant to say 30-60 SECONDS.

• How important is stretching or warming up REALLY? And what kind of warm up do I personally recommend?
• Can you choose where you lose fat? Spot reduction?
• What's better: cardio or strength training
• What equipment is necessary to get results?
• What are the best exercises?
• How do you know if you're exercising at the right intensity?
• How do I know if I'm doing an exercise correctly?
• Will I get bulky as a woman if I lift weights?

Have other questions you'd love answers to? Come find Chelsy on Instagram (@trainwithchelsy) and ask her! She'll include it in the next Q & A show.

Enjoy!

IS THIS THING ON?! Eeeee! Welcome to my newest endeavor - one I'm SO thrilled to be diving into with you. I have been racking my mind for months about how to continue sharing my expertise *without* the constraints of Instagram and blogging and creating exclusive services. While I do love training people privately in a 1:1 container as well as running my course, The Mental Health Reset, I am also beyond ready to share publicly and make what I love to teach more accessible.

This episode goes over a quick little "about me" with a focus on my certicifactions, education, and life story. I'll create another episode talking about motherhood and love and what I envision for my future.

You can expect the bulk of these episodes to have a MINDSET or a FITNESS focus, with some episodes sprinkled in that are more on the personal side.

Get cozied up and enjoy!
