If you're a coach, soloist, or small business owner, communicating your ideas is essential.  But how do you make storytelling a part of your regular life and business?  How do you tell stories that are meaningful and interesting to both you, and the people you serve? And, what do you do when you make a mistake or your work is misinterpreted in some way?  In this episode, I explore all of this and more with my guest, Jason Leenaarts.  Jason is the owner of Revolution Fitness & Therapy, a semi-private personal training studio in Northeast Ohio. He's an MNU certified nutritionist, author of two books available on Amazon and former host of the Revolutionary You podcast. Jason is an avid — and consistent — communicator, having maintained his blog for years, releasing weekly podcast episodes for six years before retiring his podcast, posting social content daily, and publishing two books. Through it all, he is honest and open about his own struggles including his past experiences with drug addiction, as well as the messiness and challenges of everyday life.   If you want to bring more authenticity and personal storytelling into your brand and business communications, be more consistent with your writing, and navigate mistakes and pushback from others, check out this episode. We cover: - Why Jason chooses to speak openly about his experiences with drug addiction and his “colorful” past, and how that has impacted his business and his ability to help people  - How to balance the personal vs the professional when it comes to storytelling. (And why your “what the hell, I'm just gonna write about the thing I care about” moments can be the most fruitful.)  - How to write about stuff that interests you while also serving the needs and interests of your audience.  - How Jason put out a podcast every week for 6 years — what he learned from it, and why he decided it was time to quit. - What happens when your content bombs and people misinterpret or just plain hate what you've said — and how to recover.  - Jason's method for responding to criticism and how to use it to make your work better. - How to balance the need to ship your work with the value of putting out rigorous and intentional work. - What a regular writing practice can look like, and how to make time for it. - Why NOW is the time to put your ideas, your wisdom, your story out into the world — and exactly why it matters so much.  For more, check out Jason at jasonleenaarts.com, on Instagram at @jasonleenaarts, or on Facebook at @jason.leenaarts

Whether it's drinking more water, going to bed earlier, or softening the thoughts in your head, change is something that many of us want but don't know how to get long lasting. I recently attended a talk with Alex Cornwell founder of Revolution Fitness and it reminded me about something that had slipped to the back of my mind. The best motivational coach in existence is the one in your own head.  People spend thousands of pounds hiring coaches in the hope that someone else will make them change.But it often doesn't work like that.  Of course it can help facilitate & inspire change within you, but ultimately it's what you say to yourself that's going to make a big difference in the moment you are about to revert back to the old behaviour.  In today's episode we discuss some powerful ways to make old habits die easy including: ➡️ Making decisions➡️ Slow sustainable change➡️ Embracing discomfort➡️ Small changes = big wins➡️ The Four Tendencies (by Gretchen Rubin)So if you're ready for some practical tips and strategies to help you change your life from the inside out, then this episode is your youSally's Links:Free relaxation hypnosis - bit.ly/relaxationwithsally Other Links:Better Than Before by Gretchen RubinThe Four Tendencies Quiz

Life is like a game, it’s a game where many curveballs are thrown our way. As with all games, you can’t win all the time. And once we lose, it's often because of abuse or betrayal. Some people turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these traumatic experiences, while others shut themselves in.    Jason Leenaarts knows this well, his traumatic childhood experiences have led him to make several bad decisions in the past. But his story is far from sad. Instead, it speaks of triumph and is a testament to the fact that there will always be a way out of any dark tunnel. About Guest/Topic You may know Jason Leenaarts as the owner of Revolution Fitness and Therapy in Ohio. Jason is a man who turned trauma into strength. But not many people are aware of the long journey he took towards self-healing and discovery.  During a downward spiral, Jason relied on various prescription drugs to cope with the pain of his past trauma. He realized, in hindsight, that these treated his symptoms but never the root cause, which eventually opened the door to substance abuse.  After years of struggling and countless visits to many psychiatrists, Jason was finally able to regain control over his life and develop a deeper connection with himself.  In this episode, Jason shares his story of trauma and transformation to inspire and help people in the same boat.   If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please seek help from your nearest medical professional. In This Episode   Understand the different stages of betrayal and trauma Recognize what ‘rock bottom’ is and how to rise above it Learn about the ways that people cope with abuse, betrayal, and trauma Find out why you need to tackle the root cause of your trauma to truly heal Discover the journey towards self-healing and discovery Quotes “Here I was finishing up high school, about to go on to college, was gonna be independent like all college kids very much wish to be when they finally wanna get out of their parents’ home. And it just started this domino effect of bad things that happened and you don’t really know how to stop that downward spiral of ‘I don’t have a lot of self-worth’ and ‘I don’t really like how things are happening in my life’ and ‘I don’t really know how to cope with these things.’” [3:26] “When you’ve got trauma in your life, all of a sudden, you look at things differently in your life.” [7:55] “Life’s not going the way that I want. So, it must be because I’m not worthy of good things. And you tell yourself that story regardless of how untrue it actually is … Once we start that domino effect, it goes nowhere good. And it’s hard to get yourself out of that.” [18:26] “At the time, I was still in so much denial that I actually have a drug problem. The drugs were a daily thing. I didn’t think that drugs were something that were taking over my life.” [20:33] “The bad things that were happening were happening because I was not in control of the things that I should have been in control of.” [22:31] “You know how certain things go in your relationship over time where it’s like ‘wow, some problems don’t go away when you get married.’ And so, you start to grab all of those things in, and they become the things that get swept under the rug. And you know, I think everyone knows what that’s like when you finally lift up the rug, and go ‘oh, there’s that mess I made’” [26:41] “Just because you solve certain problems in your life doesn’t mean that they’re all solved.” [29:42] Resources Mentioned Jason Leenaarts’ website Post Betrayal Syndrome Quiz PBT Institute PBT Institute Membership Community

CHANGE Today's featured guest is Jason Leenaarts. The Topic is CHANGE. Let the show begin. Guest Bio. Combining 16 years of experience in the fitness industry, Jason Leenaarts opened Revolution Fitness and Therapy in the spring of 2009. The first location was opened in Hudson, Ohio while Jason worked to create a program that could benefit those looking to lose weight and gain lean muscle. The program has been tremendously successful targeting demographics as young as 12 to those young-at-heart and well into their 70’s. His passion for nutritional counselling and the constant drive to modify the program to fit an individual’s needs has been the force guiding “RevFit” further. An ISSA Elite I Trainer, Jason is committed to helping his members be in the best shape they’re willing and able to be in.

We covered a lot of material. A LOT of material. For context, Jason's Business, Revolution Fitness and Therapy has been around for a long time. I got to meet Jason at the most recent Fitness Summit at Kansas City. So you might think at first, "oh here's another fitnessy guy talking about fitnessy things and how happy he is that he gets to watch people work out. I bet he's never had to call 911 to say he was worried he was going to die by suicide.". False.  And yes, I know that's a little dramatic, but if I didn't point that out, would it get your attention? I think that the topics we cover are going to be helpful to people who listen to The Lifestyle Chase and for people who listen to Revolutionary You for that matter. We talk about how it took 8 months of seeing different therapists for Jason to find the one that essentially saved his life. We talk about what it was like being addicted to drugs for the better part of a decade. We talk about his journey as a dad and what being the father of a child with autism has taught him as a human being. Even just being a father of either of his two very loved children and the dynamics of having two kids with two marriages.  I think we spent about 4 minutes talking about fitness marketing as well. So there's that. I really hope you enjoy this episode and share it. Thank you for supporting The Lifestyle Chase and be sure to show Jason some love and check out his new book available on Amazon!

On this week’s podcast, Franz Snideman, Senior Strong First Instructor, Primal Move National Instructor, former Collegiate Sprinter and International Lecturer shares the fundamental importance of educating and coaching clients in safe, healthy and holistic athleticism. Today, Franz talks about how we can add sprinting to our fitness routines and what benefits it includes for both body and mind. Franz is a student of nutrition, Neuro-Muscular Therapy, Primal Move Kids and Corrective High Performance Exercise Kinesiology. As the co-owner of Revolution Fitness, in La Jolla, CA and the author of several books including Revolution Kettlebell Fat Loss Program, he draws on his passion for healthy living, athleticism, knowledge and appreciation of human development, anatomy and personal experience, to have co-developed what he calls the Primal Speed System. It can be a strange, new journey to add something to our lives that we are unfamiliar with such as sprinting, but Franz has some great tips for both beginners and born again athletes who are eager to get back into shape. With each new effort, we can change our own behavior and improve ourselves every day. Why Should You Include Sprinting In Your Workouts? Sprinting has many benefits, not just for the body, but for the mind as well.  How many hours did you spend sitting down at your desk today? Most likely you were sitting there for quite some time before you got up and walked around the room. During that time, maybe you got a drink of water, went to a meeting, or stepped outside for some lunch. When you look back on your day, do you think you have had enough physical movement? If you spend many hours each day sitting at a desk, you will not get the fitness that your body and mind are craving. Maybe you don't have enough time for a long run, swimming, or an hour long fitness class. Fortunately, the beauty about adding sprinting to your workout is that it's just as viable as any other cardiovascular activities AND it doesn't take too much time.  The Steady Progression to Becoming a Sprinter So how can you become a sprinter? Sprinting is vital for fitness, but it needs a progression so that your body can adapt to it.  Franz's advice is to do several steps to gear yourself up before adding sprinting to your workout. If you try going to the track without proper preparation and understanding of sprinting mechanics, then you might face a future injury. To learn how to sprint, you need to go back to the basics of crawling. Crawling is the first mode of locomotion you do before you can even stand and walk. Sprinting is a standing crawl and the final progression of locomotion. Once you get the hang of crawling, here are Franz's next 3  steps to prepare yourself for a sprint workout: 1. March while standing in place To connect the brain with the body and get into a rhythm of movement, begin marching while standing in place. By learning the sprinting cadence, you begin to learn important sprinting techniques such as moving on the balls of your feet, foot striking, and landing underneath your body. Try doing this technique for 5 minutes each day. 2. Build the intrinsic and small muscles of the feet. Prepare your feet and lower legs for sprinting by building the intrinsic and small muscles of the feet by walking on your heels, toes, and the sides of the feet. First, do heel walks (walking on your heels) with the toes pointed upwards towards your shin. This helps to teach your ankles to be stiff and have dorsal flexed feet so that you run on the balls of your feet and not on your toes. However, for the next exercise, to teach your body how to do a proper push off when you sprint, you need to lean forward on your toes as you walk. You shouldn't be walking on your tip toes, but leaning enough that your knees are straight as you walk. For the third foot exercise, you need to do an around the world combination of cycling through these next motions. Begin by walking on your tiptoes followed by walking on the outside edges of your feet, the heels, and finally the inside edges of your feet. Cycle through these motions for 30-60 seconds once a day. 3. Create a great posture with shoulder mechanics To create a great sprinting form, you should have good posture on the upper half of your body. Begin by sitting up straight. Next, simply start moving your arms in the same motion as you would when sprinting. This will help remind you to keep your arms up and in front of you to create momentum. All of these steps can easily be done from the comfort of your home. After you have practiced each one, put them together for your next sprint workout. Build Your Body and Mind with Each Sprint "Regardless of your goals. If you're an endurance athlete, middle distance athlete, maybe just a strength athlete, sprinting will make you more athletic because it will enhance the functioning of your nervous systems and the way that your brain communicates with your body. And that's a good thing." -Franz Snideman Just like crawling, you find yourself in a cross body pattern and motion as you sprint. This movement actually connects your body to both the left and the right brain hemispheres. Because of this link, your brain works better, you burn more calories, and you build more muscle and nerve tissue. The brain develops from movement so that when we learn new skills, we end up building new nerve cells and tissues in the brain. People who do a lot of different movements and move really well tend to learn better than people who do not move on a daily basis. Because of this, short term sprinting is good for the brain because it takes you to a whole new level for a couple seconds before you come back to resting mode. What happens if you over exhilarate yourself when you sprint? You don't have to worry about over exhilarating yourself because you have central governors in your brain that protect you from overdoing something that can cause harm to the body. For example, right before you reach your fastest speed, your brain will tell your body to stop going too fast should you pull a muscle. However, this doesn't mean that you should let the central governors from moving and keep growing as a sprinter and athlete. Sprinting actually helps you to break free from the central governors and take your brain up a step. How does sprinting help you to lose weight? Sprinting is not only good for the mind, but obviously the body as well to help you deal with glucose and insulin to shred excess fat and calories. If you take a look at professional sprinters, pole vaulters or hurdlers, their training involves high power and short duration sprints to be able to have their athletic physique. When you add sprinting and other high intensity exercises to your workout, you should include it with a combination of strength training, walking, and an overall healthy lifestyle. With sprinting, you will see a progression overtime and eventually a healthier, more athletic you. How to Face Your Problems and Fears to Reach Success On Franz's Facebook page, he wrote this inspiring post: "Success requires so much more than people can see. Enjoy the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs. It's all part of the process and Journey. Easily earned success is not character building and does not make you stronger. If you can understand that problems are opportunities to grow than you will not want to quickly give away or avoid your problems. Embrace the problems and the challenges as they make you better and more resourceful."  We are all on our own life journeys and we dream of different goals, but to get where we want to be, the pathway is not always easy and sometimes unplanned events can stop us from getting where we want to be in life. You don't stop growing because there's a problem you're facing. Instead, you really grow by taking on the problem by yourself. Figure out which goals you want to achieve and obstacles to overcome. That way, you can grow emotionally and become a stronger person than your were before. It's fine to reach out for help, but understand your role to take on what needs to be done on your part. Nobody else can walk in your shoes. It's your life and your journey.

Leave us a review at http://www.openskyfitness.com/review On the Open Sky Fitness podcast we talk a lot about getting a good night's rest and one of our favorite sources is the book, Sleep Smarter: 21 Proven Tips to Sleep Your Way To a Better Body, Better Health and Bigger Success by Shawn Stevenson. Rob begins the show discussing three great tips from Shawn's book. If you like what you hear and want to learn more about how to sleep smarter, we're giving away three of his books in a raffle to USA listeners. Just leave us a review, take a screen shot of it, and send it to Rob with your home address.  Today, Rob talked to Franz Snideman who is a former collegiate sprinter and the co-owner of Revolution Fitness. Franz believes that sprinting is key to becoming healthier and stronger. He's an expert at running and sprinting for beginners and shared his tips and insights with us on the show including: how to learn how to run properly; where to run; what shoe to wear; and how fast you should sprint on speed days. It was a really fascinating conversation and Franz told us how and why crawling, sprinting, and marching exercises are great for not only fitness purposes, but to improve the function of the brain as well. Whether you've been running for years or are eager to get started, this episode will really help benefit your fitness. Franz has also authored and edited several books, as well as produced a series of training DVD’s. Drawing on his passion in healthy living, athleticism, knowledge and appreciation of human development, anatomy and personal experience, he co-developed the dynamic Primal Speed System as well as Primal Move Velocity. Franz believes in the fundamental importance of educating and coaching his clients in safe, healthy and holistic athleticism. Coupled with impeccable attention to detail, bio-mechanical understanding and skill in accommodating and adapting training regimes to support and enhance individual’s unique abilities and needs, he is personal coach to clients and professional athletes. He lectures internationally, driven to share his knowledge and skill, theoretically and practically. Franz is a Senior Strength Matters Kettlebell Instructor, Ground Force National Instructor, former Collegiate Sprinter and International Lecturer.
