#AskAchieve32: Creatine for Women, IT Band Pain, and Fitness Information Overload for Coaches!




Sweat Out; Happiness In! show

Summary: What's up, Achievers?! Another fun episode for you today! In this one we go over whether or not we recommend creatine for women looking to gain lean muscle mass (2:31). We also talk about our thoughts on the IT Band and if it's even possible to stretch it, and how we'd recommend training if you have IT Band pain as a runner - or a lifter for that matter (5:11)! We also cover fitness information overload as a personal trainer/fitness coach, and where to begin sorting through all of the information available (10:42). Lastly, we answer two rapid-fire questions (17:11) on how to set up the Leg Press machine optimally as well as how to address wrist pain during lat pulldowns. The wrist stretch video we talk about is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grl61Eym9go&t=2s Also, final shoutout about our April Kickstart challenge!
