Men want to get jacked. Women want to get toned.

Nobody wants to hear that the training is identical.

Push close to failure. Add weight and reps over time. Eat enough to fuel the work.

The word is different. The method isn’t.

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

“High cortisol is bad for you”
So is never stressing your body a day in your life.

Exercise spikes cortisol on purpose. It mobilizes energy. It drives performance. It forces adaptation.

The supplement industry built an empire on that fear.

Don’t fear cortisol. Its okay 😊

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Low back and neck pain costs the US $87.6 billion per year.

Hundreds of millions of that is wasted on MRIs and x-rays that change absolutely nothing.

Your scan didn’t help you. It just gave you something to worry about.

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Got back pain?

“Strengthen your core” is what doctors say when they don’t know what else to tell you.

It sounds smart. It feels proactive.

The research just doesn’t back it up.

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of death. That statistic doesn’t have to include you. That’s why I do what I do 😊

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Before you judge what someone is doing in the gym

Or before you judge that kid larping

Remember…

Only 1 in 5 adolescents & adults meet physical activity guidelines

If they are in the gym (or outside) and they are exercising they are a rare breed

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Over 99% of the doctors who tell you “deadlifts are bad for your back” aren’t

~strength training themselves
~partaking in any progressive overload
~prescribing resistance training

Please continue to deadlift and move on

Sincerely,

Healthcare providers who actually train

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

You think lifting weights is hard?

I’ve treated people who stand up from an ELEVATED recliner and it’s their 1 rep max!

The hardest thing they do all day is stand up from a chair or toilet

Strength train so standing up NEVER becomes your 1 rep max

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

You lose 3-5% of muscle per decade starting in your 30s IF…

YOU DON’T TRAIN

You gradually lose bone density starting in your 30s IF…

YOU DON’T TRAIN

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Older Men & women (85+) gain just as much muscle & strength as adults 65-75

Strength training is for EVERYONE

Postmenopausal women should TRAIN

People on GLP-1s should TRAIN

People with chronic pain should TRAIN

Warning: Training will make you harder to kill

You want to live long? Here’s some truth…

When adults over 50 fall and suffer a fracture 30% of them will die within a year

Here’s the good news…

You know what can DECREASE your risk of falling by 30% ?

Strength training

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Imperfect ACTION trumps perfect INACTION every time

Waiting for that perfect moment to start lifting weights, that new diet or a walking program?

Truth is…you won’t wake up one day all of the sudden feeling motivated to do it

So You might as well just START!

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

The only true ACL prevention program is to stop playing 😎

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

1 in 5 adults meet physical activity guidelines

Less people do a 2x/week strength training recommendation vs the 150 mins/week of cardio

If you’re spending time wasting time what did it cost you?

STRENGTH TRAIN to DECREASE risk of:

FALLS
CANCER
STROKE
DIABETES
HEART ATTACK

Research shows fathers still have plenty of time to workout…

Most just choose not to

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

Considering joining a gym? 🏋🏻‍♂️

Remember… 🧠

More than half the battle is walking through the front door 🚪

You got this 💪🏼🔥

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

When you have someone or something to keep you driven this whole health & fitness thing gets easier…

Thoughts of quitting fade…
Those excuses that keep you from starting up fade…

What keeps you driven?

Tap into that, start & NEVER QUIT 😤

[Dr. Justin Geisler @LongevityLiftin]

If your patient/client can still scroll on social while they are “working out” they aren’t working hard enough

Don’t blame it on them for their lack of effort and focus

Be a better coach
