Deskbound Therapy

In this episode of the Deskbound Therapy Podcast, I am joined by Weight Loss Coach Jon Vlahogiannakos. We talk about fitness, mobility, and food tracking to help you on your weight loss journey. He also shares some of his tips, tricks, and strategies on using flexible dieting to get the most out of anything food-related this holiday season. These tips are pretty essential to help you avoid gaining too much weight, breaking your diet, or putting yourself back to square one in your journey to a healthy body. Jon grew up in the hockey world and played up to AAA and Junior A in his career. Instead of pursuing a career playing professionally, he switched gears and decided to focus on physical fitness. After completing a transformation on his own, he knew he could help others do the same. For years now, Jon has been helping people shed unwanted body fat, become stronger than ever, and get their confidence back like never before.

In episode 36 of the Deskbound Therapy Podcast, I chat with Dr. Aaron Horschig (@draaronhorschig). He is a Sports/Orthopedic Physical Therapist, author, and speaker. He is also the founder of Squat University, a strength & conditioning specialist, an Olympic weightlifter, and a coach. We talk about the importance of mobility and how it can make a massive difference in your workout routine and your life. He also shares his daily routine with us to give us an idea of incorporating movement into your day-to-day activities. After graduating with his bachelor's in exercise science from Truman State University in 2009, Dr. Aaron Horschig received a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Missouri in 2012. Dr. Aaron now works at Boost Physical Therapy & Sport Performance in Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. Aaron published his first book, “The Squat Bible,” in the spring of 2017 and published it in numerous professional journals. His most recent appearance in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy presented a new way to periodize a weight-training program with the back squat after ACL reconstruction. Dr. Aaron's background includes being involved in Olympic weightlifting as an athlete and coach for over the past decade. His goal is to provide the highest quality rehabilitation to athletes who have sustained an injury and help our sports medicine society become proactive in approaching the athlete – both from a rehabilitation and training perspective.

Welcome to episode 54 of the Deskbound Therapy podcast. Today we have a returning guest, Founder of TFT Fitness, motivational speaker, and certified gains master, Steve McCollum. We talk about staying on track with your fitness routines, goal setting, and how to stay consistent with it during the holidays. He also shares tips about getting back on track even when you fail this time of year and how to deal with negative self-talk.Steve's bio:Born and raised in Brampton, Ontario, Steve was always passionate about sports and training. Growing up as one of six children in a single-parent household, playing high-level sports wasn't possible without outside support.  This inspired the vision of the Gains Gang.  Growing up playing hockey, Steve eventually found a passion for football and earned himself a scholarship to Bishop's University. A strong work ethic combined with the passion for inspiring and leading others led him to be named a team captain. When asked how he got into health and fitness, Steve responded, “I was always a leader; I loved to help others be the best versions of themselves.  In College, I would help the young guys coming up under me with technique in the weight room and nutrition". He originally started his Fitness Journey as The Football Trainer on Instagram in 2013 while playing Football at Bishop's: "I just wanted to help young football players train the way I wish someone had taught me to.” After realizing the severity of his concussion injuries sustained from football, Steve was heartbroken to walk away from his childhood dreams of playing professionally.  "I decided if I could not achieve my dream, I would do everything I could to help others achieve theirs.” TFT Fitness was born in 2014.Reach out:Web: https://tftgainsgang.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/tft_fitness/Show notes:[1:38] The biggest mistake people make this time of year[3:10] Falling off track by not having the right program[3:47] How he advocates staying to track during the holidays[5:33] Workout duration and goal setting[7:43] Staying consistent and surrounding yourself with like-minded people[12:00] Staying accountable by connecting with people[14:45] Set tangible goals[17:18] How specific should your goals be?[19:56] It's all about consistency[21:44] Adhering to the program despite falling off track[24:44] A quick testimonial from one of my clients[26:05] Falling in love with the process[27:51] Trying new things and finding what you love to do[30:37] Dealing with negative self-talk[34:43] Using social media to empower you and own your mistakes[37:55] Prioritize and take action[43:47] Balance out your expectations with the amount of work you put in[45:48] Nugget of advice[48:40] OutroFor online coaching inquiries and questions about my online programs, connect with me below.IG: https://www.instagram.com/DeskboundTherapyEmail: David@deskboundtherapy.comApply for Mobility Coaching: https://bit.ly/DBTCoaching2021

In episode 25 of the DeskboundTherapy Podcast, I chat with David 'Jacko' Jackson and Tim Stevenson of The School of Calisthenics. When they started exploring calisthenics they found that a lot of the instructional information was provided by ex-gymnasts or people who had experience in a complementary form of training. Tim and Jacko were ex-rugby players with no gymnastics background and an extensive history of rugby-related injuries and surgeries. But with detailed knowledge of exercise science from a career as strength and conditioning coaches, they began unpacking the complexity and assumed level of background training to find a way in which anyone could enjoy and progress with calisthenics. In 2016 the School of Calisthenics was established. The result has been a unique approach to exploring bodyweight training that has helped over 200,000 people in more than 100 countries to redefine their impossible.

In episode 19 of the Deskbound Therapy Podcast, I chat with Patrick Harrison CEO of CoreChair Deskbound Ergonomics. With a degree in Kinesiology specializing in sports medicine, CoreChair CEO and Founder Patrick Harrison has a passion for understanding what the human body needs. The emerging awareness on the perils of sedentary lifestyle coupled with the musculoskeletal damage incurred by desk jockeys, Harrison was inspired by the widespread prevalence of back pain, the negative effects of sedentary lifestyles and the trend towards exercise balls in the office. The amount of static sitting we do in a day contributes to obesity, disease, and back pain. Alternative solutions, such as exercise balls and standing desks were introduced in the absence of sound research and provide little opportunity for physical activity and adequate back support. Studies show it’s no better to stand all day than it is to sit. The design of the CoreChair optimizes sitting posture and encourages movement in all directions and to 14 degrees; enhancing joint mobilization of the hips, pelvis, and spine; increasing blood flow and circulation and calorie expenditure.
