In this episode, I sit down with Preslie Hirsch (@heypreslie), CrossFit Coach, Nutrition Coach, Podcast Host, and now spearheading HWPO's marketing! We discuss why "it's cool to care about the Open." Preslie discusses her journey in weightlifting and overcoming an elbow injury. How her background as an athlete, playing competitive volleyball, led to bodybuilding and stepping on stage.
Preslie shares her insights on nutrition and how it is crucial to fuel your body with the right foods to achieve optimal performance. Preslie shares some of her favourite meal prep hacks, including cooking in bulk, using a slow cooker, and prepping ingredients. She also emphasizes the importance of keeping it simple and finding easy-to-make meals that fit your lifestyle.
Preslie discusses her experience with injuries and how she overcame them by focusing on what she could do instead of what she couldn't. She stresses the importance of listening to your body, seeking proper medical attention, and finding alternative exercises to stay active during recovery.
