IS THE GYM REALLY THE MENTAL HEALTH FIX?

I figured I'd expound on a comment I left on a friend's post the other day since it seemed to resonate with a lot of people...

2 separate points:

1. The gym has been extremely therapeutic for me, no question about it. However, it is NOT a substitute for talking to someone (clinical or pastoral) about a serious mental health issue...

It has been proven scientifically that physical activity is highly correlated with a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression. If you're dealing with these things on a clinical level and you're not exercising, you're contributing to your own problems!

However, and I've experienced this personally, as someone who has made the gym an "idol" of sorts in the past, and someone who has sought to medicate myself from issues within my personal life, escaping to train is NOT a solution! This is especially true if you are working around the wrong people!

Earlier in my career, I attempted to do this while I was working late nights and early mornings while still doing 40 hours/week. I was still lifting 5 days a week while doing this, and ironically was the strongest I'd ever been in my life. I had worn that as a badge of honor, while being completely worthless at home because I was exhausted and looking for an escape from the burnout that was happening...

Don't do this! Talk to your spouse, talk to your pastor, even if you fear some level of judgement from them! You might be surprised...

Point #2 is in the comments....

The real solution is not in the gym but in the Lord Jesus Christ,

Casting your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7)

Matthew 6:25 ESV
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

The Story Behind the Set!

One of the things I love to do is celebrating what my clients accomplish in spite of the setbacks they have come across...

The evolution of their mindset and attitude about training and working out and what's possible 💪

who is taking the year off competing in pro fitness but still committed to becoming her physical best!

Or who's overcome shoulder injuries to build delts that will be competitive on a bodybuilding stage but also functional for living her life!

Take Pat, hitting a deadlift PR, but also hitting a PR in consistency over the last year and a half that we've worked together!

who's transformed herself in the last year dropping substantial bodyfat and becoming the strongest and most athletic she's ever been, getting those "granny gainzzz!"

And my client Dan, who's become an absolute machine with consistency, getting it in the mornings or evenings, whenever he can, and still making progress!

I win by helping people win, that's my job and that's why I love it!

More Client Success!

Been working with Pat for over a year now, he's stronger now and more consistent than he's ever been with working out... Not to mention he might be the only one his age I know that can do an 18" box jump!

Here's what he had to say:
"I've been training with Jon Habeshy for over 15 months. I've achieved many health goals with his knowledge and experience through his training. He challenges me to do my best and meets you where you're at. I look forward to all the future benefits his personal training will give me."

is another rockstar of mine! After over a year she has dropped substantial bodyfat and is stronger than she's ever been in her life!

In her own words:
"Jon is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced trainer! I had multiple muscle imbalances and weaknesses. Over the course of a year(and still continuing) I experience more energy, strength, range of motion and a new level of goal setting. If you are on the fence about your health journey get off the fence and come see Jon!"

Appreciate you both! Let's keep rocking this!

Just a round up of the last week or so!

I win by helping others win...

Whether it's

✅ getting more comfortable going to the gym
✅ Hitting a PR in your 40s or even older
✅ Moving like you never thought you'd be able to again

There's still time and it really is never too late!

CLIENT WINS!

Some big client wins the past couple of weeks...

I video post client deadlifts a lot, and there's a good reason for that...

They're fun... But deeper than that is the underlying belief that people often have about lifting something heavy from the ground.

✅ "Lifting that heavy will make me bulky" I'm talking to you, ladies!

✅ "That's bad for your back!"

What's bad for your back is being physically unprepared for challenges placed on the spine by living your life!

blowing past double her bodyweight on the bar is flat out impressive, and for reps at that!

Jesse Knight approaching a double bodyweight deadlift after working with me for a few weeks, this guy has a lot left in the tank before hitting a wall, excited to see where he goes with it!

Both of these were done without lifting belts!

I rarely have clients wear one, unless they opt to do so!

NEW EQUIPMENT ALERT!

It's finally here.... Standing abduction machine...

The latest in our unique repertoire of equipment and perfect for building "the shelf"

This machine actually works ALL functions of the glutes because you're standing so there's a hip extension component as well as abduction and external rotation.

You'll need to squat down (try and your thighs get parallel) and then push the knees out while holding yourself in the squat position...

This one's a burner 🔥

You won't need a ton of weight (but don't do these without weight either as you'll just get a crazy groin stretch 😂)

Give this a shot and let me know what you think...

MORNING ROUTINES

I've been wanting to post on this for a long time...

I see these morning routines everywhere, this is what X millionaire does, etc...

They usually consist of several hours of cold water immersion, meditation, some "gratitude practice" and reading.

2-4 hours... It's what the billionaires do!

You don't need me to tell you that's completely impractical!

We're all busy, we got jobs, families, etc...

I will say that how you start your day DOES MATTER!

I like to think of the best morning routine as a list of DON'Ts and it starts with the night before!

1. DON'T look at your phone an hour before going to bed

2. DON'T allow yourself to hit snooze when your alarm goes off, my hack for this is placing your phone far enough away from where you sleep that when the alarm goes off you have no choice but to get on your feet!

3. DON'T look at social media or send non-emergency text messages right upon waking!

4. DON'T skip breakfast! Unless you're seasoned with intermittent fasting, get something in your system that has protein

5. DON'T fluctuate your waking times. It's been shown that people who wake up at the same time every day have better sleep quality overall!

I know people who say this stuff doesn't matter but you don't know until you've tried it consistently for a month 😉

You don't have to be a "morning person" to make it a good morning!

"I WAS ALWAYS IN GOOD SHAPE BEFORE"

When people see pictures like this they assume that I've always been in relatively good shape... not true at all!

Those of you who've known me a while know I was naturally chunky!

Just like trying to do the diet and/or workout that got YOU in shape 15-20 years ago probably isn't going to cut it now!

I've seen it more than a handful of times....

Guys will come to me trying to get lean using a diet they did 15 years ago...

They will automatically assume that the way they looked before was a direct result of everything that they did. Don't buy into that!

How we look and perform in our younger years is often IN SPITE of what we did, rather than BECAUSE of what we did.

We had time and hormones on our side! Don't be one of those guys that says to me "I used to look like you..."

You didn't, but aside from that, it takes the right approach to transform your body!

The old diet, the old workout only worked on the younger you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃

I post this every year, every other coach and their brother posts something like this I get it 😂 but you're gonna see my 2 cents anyway 😜.

I know it's still helpful for some so feel free to share if you find it helpful

Some of you have asked, and some haven't but I wanted to give you some guidelines for how to handle food today and holiday eating in general.

THESE ARE IN ORDER OF PRIORITY BTW:

1) BE THANKFUL!
This goes without saying, but oftentimes when we are focused on a goal we forget to acknowledge the fact that we are privileged to be able to work towards that goal. Some will be spending the holiday in a hospital bed or in a nursing/hospice home and their only goal will be to keep pain to a minimum. The fact that we're able to eat and work off some of that food is a gift in and of itself!

2) IT'S JUST ONE DAY!
If you're already at some level of fitness then you've been at this for several months or years then you know that those results didn't come overnight and they can't be undone in one day, either! None of you have contests next week or in 12 weeks. There are no shows until March (or late February) so if you tell me that you weren't able to get in shape because you went overboard on thanksgiving I'm not buying it!

3) DON'T THROW SELF-CONTROL OUT THE WINDOW!
If you haven't figured it out, I'm saying you should enjoy tomorrow with family and/or friends and not stress about eating. That said, there's no reason to go crazy and binge with 3 or 4 plates worth of food. Eat until your satisfied, not stuffed! You can enjoy the day without going overboard!

4a) DAMAGE CONTROL NUTRITION
Enjoy tomorrow and don't beat yourself up or stress over food. But understand that you probably won't wake up Friday morning looking leaner or better. It will be a minor setback where you lose a few days of progress if you do everything right. And if all of your other meals tomorrow are low in carbs and fats and higher in protein and fiber then you'll minimize the damage. Keep in mind that protein and fiber promote satiety so it'll be harder to overeat
