It’s time for a little chalk talk.

We all know chalk can make quite the mess at the gym, but does it serve a benefit to those you train?

On this episode of the “NASM-CPT Podcast,” host, NASM Master Instructor, and gym owner, Rick Richey, addresses why people love chalk so much and what is its purpose at the gym.

In this monologue presentation, Rick discusses how chalk helps reduce moisture by absorbing sweat, prevents blisters and tears (especially for gymnasts), and the importance of improving your grip strength.

Lastly, if you do use chalk, please take the time to clean up after yourself.
