    AMA: Current Nutrition Goals, Working As A Trainer With A Baby, Pregnancy Workout Considerations, What To Do After A Deficit, And More!

    Ep 124: Today AMA covers a lot of topics! We touch on fitness, food, fav training sneakers and then chat about life as a trainer with a baby - how we got Apollo to sleep + how I prepped myself for maternity leave as someone who needed to pay for my own maternity leave and can't delegate my job to someone else. This was something I was really trying to find when I was pregnant so hopefully it helps anyone who's also in the fitness/personal training industry and is wanting to start a family soon! We get into considerations when exercising while pregnant like the importance of glute lengthening and adductor strength + what to do after you finish a calorie deficit - how do you know you're done? Should you go down again? Should you do a reverse diet? Should you just maintain?  ********************** DON'T FORGET!  My new program "Busy Body" is 20% off until Monday August 3rd.

    AMA: Fat Loss Once You Have Muscle, Rest Times If Focus Is Building Strength, Why You Plateau In Fitness Classes & More!

    Ep 122: Another Ask Me Anything episode! This week I’m answering your questions on fat loss, strength training, workout classes, fitness trackers, core strength, and how to know when it’s actually time to make a change to your routine. We’re talking about what I would prioritize if you want to lose 5–10 pounds without obsessively tracking calories, how long you should actually rest between sets if strength is the goal, and whether I trust the calorie burn and step count metrics coming from wearables like the Oura Ring/Apple Watch. I also get into the very common feeling of knowing you have muscle... but not necessarily being able to see it the way you want to — and whether that means you should keep building or finally shift your focus toward fat loss. Plus, we talk about workout classes: why I don't think they're inherently bad, where people can run into problems when classes become their entire training routine, and how to keep the workouts you genuinely love while still making progress toward your physique goals. And finally, I answer a question about weak back muscles, posture, core strength, and whether you really need hour-long Pilates sessions to feel strong and supported in your everyday life and strength workouts. As always, if you have a question you want answered on a future AMA episode, send me a DM on Instagram @chelseyrosehealth! __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Apply for Advanced Training and Nutrition with Chelsey & Dr Emily Dow HERE Start your 7 day FREE trial of my new app HERE!

    How To Stay Lean All Summer Without Giving Up Your Social Life!

    Ep 121: Say it with me! "Summer is meant to be enjoyed—not spent stressing over every meal or feeling like you have to "start over" every Monday." In this episode, I'm breaking down the science-backed principles that will help you stay consistent through vacations, BBQs, beach days, and dinners out without feeling like you have to choose between making memories and making progress. We'll talk about why one indulgent meal isn't what causes fat gain, why maintaining muscle should be a priority year-round, and how simple habits like prioritizing protein, strength training, and daily movement can help you enjoy summer while still working toward your goals. In this episode, we cover: Why consistency over months matters more than perfection on any single dayHow strength training helps you maintain a lean physique, even during busy seasonsWhy protein is one of the most powerful tools for managing hunger and preserving muscleThe connection between sleep, recovery, cravings, and fat lossHow to build an environment that makes healthy choices feel easierWhy walking and everyday movement are often underrated for long-term successThe mindset shift that separates women who stay consistent from those who constantly feel like they're starting overKey Takeaway The women who stay lean year-round aren't the ones who never enjoy dessert, skip vacations, or have perfect nutrition every day. They're the ones who don't let one meal turn into one bad week. Progress comes from getting back to your routine—not from chasing perfection. If this episode was helpful, I'd love for you to share it with a friend, tag me on Instagram, or leave a review so other women like us can find the show, build strength, confidence, and sustainable habits for life. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Apply for Advanced Training and Nutrition with Chelsey & Dr Emily Dow HERE Start your 7 day FREE trial of my new app HERE!

    Mindset Changes You Have To Make If You Want To Get Results

    Ep 120: In this episode of "Strength To Build", I'm breaking down the biggest mindset shifts that will completely change the way you approach your fitness journey. We'll talk about why consistency beats perfection, why eating more can sometimes help you make better progress than eating less, and why the scale isn't nearly as powerful as we've been taught to believe. These are the exact mindset changes I not only work on with my clients but that I've had to work on with myself! Lasting results don't come from finding the "perfect" workout or meal plan—they come from changing the way you think about the process and WHY you do what you do. In this episode, we cover: Why you don't have to eat "clean" every day to lose fatThe truth about 1,200-calorie dietsWhy working out every day isn't the goalHow to stop letting the scale control your moodWhy one meal or one weekend won't ruin your progressThe difference between motivation and disciplineWhy soreness isn't a sign of a better workoutHow consistency always beats perfectionWhy chasing fast results often keeps you stuckThe importance of trusting the process instead of constantly changing your planIf you've been feeling frustrated, stuck, or like you're doing everything "right" but still aren't seeing the results you want, this episode is for you. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Apply for Advanced Training and Nutrition with Chelsey & Dr Emily Dow HERE Start your 7 day FREE trial of my new app HERE!
