Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast.

This is very exciting.

There's all three of us, and not Andy, obviously, but the three girls.

Do you know what else is exciting?

Andy's stand-up show that we're all going to, was it next Friday? Not this Friday coming but next one.

It is, yeah. I'm so excited. Yeah, me too. I'm also so excited to be sharing a bed with Hannah and

Catherine. It's really nice and me to let me do that. Thank thank you there was no response to that in the group chat

I know I was like I'm going to stay yours is that okay and then there was no response so

I'll put it out here on the podcast said yes it is okay yes oh and then we're all going to meet up and go around

off the seat right right? Yeah. Oh, buzzing.

Okay, great. So on with the questions. We've got some great questions today. Okay, Michaela,

always good to start with a question that starts like this. Probably not a question for the podcast,

but a question I've been wondering.

All questions are questions for the podcast.

I see lots of people in the gym doing resistance training in converse type shoes or even just socks.

Is this preferable for posture slash form more than supportive trainers?

I'm a slight niggle in the soul of my foot and wondering if that is related or not. Well, I would say if you were doing an exercise where you needed to be

stable and flat to the ground, then like exercise like squats and deadlifts, you might prefer to have flat shoes on.

If you've got running shoes, what they tend to do is they want you to be in the ball of your feet,

like they roll your feet forward. So that's not going to be ideal for squats or deadlifts.

So that's probably why people are wearing those shoes or just in their bare socks.

I don't know.
