Coach Jason Loebig is having the best day of his life. Here’s how.
Today is the happiest day in Jason Loebig’s life. Yesterday too. Tomorrow will probably be too. This is because the in-demand coach makes it a priority to “have the best day ever, every dayâ€. In fact, that’s even the motto of her Chicago-based wellness community and coaching center, Live Better Co.
“I remember it constantly, but especially in the morning to help prepare for a great day ahead,†says Loebig. “It’s a conscious reminder to make decisions that move me forward to live the life I want, and empower me to make it happen.”
And given Loebig’s track record, it’s pretty clear that he’s been diligent in practicing what he preaches. After realizing that his life purpose was fitness, Loebig left his successful career as a Certified Public Accountant and co-founded Live Better Co., an experiential wellness company that focuses on all aspects. from health, from diet to physical form to the mental component. .
Loebig’s first customer training session begins around 6 a.m., so getting the morning off to a good start is essential. “I fiercely protect this early part of the day because I know it is important not only for my own health, but also to have enough energy to devote to my job,†he says. “It is my life’s passion to help others with their health and fitness, and it starts with making sure my body and mind are in the right place.”
Loebig introduced us to the morning routine that allows him to participate in several sporting events per month, train hundreds of clients and make every day a good time. Read on to discover its secrets.
Jason Loebig’s Morning Essentials
5:00 am: Get up, read and UNwind

On a “normal” working day, Loebig wakes up before the sun, even though he is an equal mix of a morning person and a night owl. “If I’m lucky, I’ll get about seven hours of sleep, which is a slight shortfall for me,†he explains. His secret to inventing zzzs on the days when he hangs out: “Tiger snoozesâ€, the energetic naps of 20 to 30 minutes he takes in the afternoon.
First thing in the morning, Loebig takes a quick five-minute shower, in which he alternately uses hot and cold water at 30-second intervals to help wake his body. Next step: hydration! Loebig adds a pinch of sea salt to 20 ounces of water to jumpstart his daily electrolyte intake and drinks it within an hour. His goal is to drink 100 ounces of water during the day, especially if he is training in the heat and humidity.
While hydrating, Loebig takes the time to sit down and do something he really enjoys: reading. “My reading list is incredibly extensive, from health and wellness books to spy novels to children’s books,†he says. “One of my goals is to write a series of children’s books, so often I will add notes to my stories if time permits.”
He reads and writes in the morning because he wants to start the day as he pleases. “It’s something my the brain wants, not something someone else’s brain tells me to want or do, â€he says. “It reassures me to start the day. “
6:00 am: Coffee and customers
You might think this early riser drinks coffee all the time, but Loebig actually only has one cup a day, about 60 to 90 minutes after getting up. “I love coffee, but I try to delay consumption to allow my body and mind to wake up naturally,†he says.
Loebig usually goes for Mocha Super Coffee, which is pre-made and ready to drink. “It saves me a lot of time in the morning and I see an increase in physical and mental energy,†he explains. Loebig runs training sessions from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., so he usually finishes his coffee while coaching his clients.
10:00 am: Training time
At this point, it’s time for Loebig to take a break from client training and have his own personal sweat session. “I’m wide awake, full of energy to help others and ready to recover,†he explains. His workouts usually combine some elements of strength training, conditioning and mobility, but there are no set rules. Since it’s his time, Loebig likes to change his workouts based on what he’s training for or which areas of his body he’s looking to focus on. “I’ll do anything from MMA to yoga, rock climbing, running,†he says.
11:00 am: First meal of the day
It’s time to refuel! Loebig eats his first meal six hours after waking up. This is a conscious decision on his part: he started practicing time-limited eating (also known as intermittent fasting) six years ago. “I no longer have a traditional breakfast,†he explains. “I’ll have coffee early, then I don’t have food until 11 am, right after training.”
Even though her first meal is a bit later than most, Loebig’s menu still consists of breakfast foods. In fact, he is a huge fan of eating breakfast foods all day. Some of her favorites are eggs and bacon, greens, and avocado. To support his high level of activity, Loebig follows a diet high in protein and contains a mixture of healthy fats and carbohydrates, depending on his training and aesthetic goals. “If I’m running a lot or trying to gain muscle mass, I’ll add a little quinoa or sweet potato, but if not, it’s a lot of lean meat!”
11:30 am: Supplements and simplicity
Loebig takes supplements every morning as an “insurance policy,†just in case he isn’t able to get all of the nutrients he needs from diet alone. With his first meal, Loebig has a multivitamin as well as fish oil as a “catch†for any micronutrients he might be missing, like omega-3 fatty acids. Since he doesn’t normally eat fish, Loebig knows that omega-3s are one of the nutrients he lacks, which is why he takes fish oil to help him. “It is an excellent supplement for both bodies and brain function – I demand a lot of both, so I want to know that my performance is optimal, â€says Loebig. Right now he’s looking for Vthrive â„¢ The Vitamin Shoppe® Bioactive Immune Multivitamin and Vthrive â„¢ The Vitamin Shoppe® Premium Wild Alaskan Fish Oil, which he obtains from The Vitamin Shoppe, his retailer of choice since he started selling. seriously train in college. . “The Vitamin Shoppe has always been a place where I can explore products for a wide variety of needs,†he explains. ” There is something for every taste. “
Knowing that he has long, regular shifts, Loebig acknowledges that he shouldn’t be trying to fit in more than he has time in the morning. He advises finding one to three things that will get you successful, instead of stressing yourself out over a complicated multi-step routine. “This sense of simplicity really worked to help me start the day calm and focused,†he says. “Every day can be the best day ever if you choose to do it that way. “
