In this Q&A episode of the Next Level Health and Fitness Podcast, co-hosts Craig Smith and I dive into a wide range of listener questions. We discuss the role of weightlifting belts and how to use them effectively, address muscle imbalances and how to correct them, and explore the balance of grit and grace when getting back on track after falling off the wagon. We also break down whether cardio is better before or after your workout, along with a few other topics that provide practical tips to optimize your fitness journey.
