Neglected Nutrients

In a recent email, we talked about potassium... Which is an essential nutrient that many people forget to include in their diets. Today, we’re going to shed light on another neglected nutrient - the non-digestible carbohydrate found in foods: Fiber. A whopping 96% of the population does not consume the daily recommended amount of fiber! Men need 35 grams and women 28 grams of fiber daily… but on average Americans are only getting around 16 grams of fiber a day! Fiber has various health benefits: it keeps you regular, reduces hunger, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of certain cancers.

Miracles of Water

A healthy lifestyle starts... With a proper nutrition and exercise regimen, but there is one other facet that is often overlooked: getting adequate hydration. Our bodies are made up primarily of water – about 70%, in fact, so it would make sense that we need to continue to replenish our reserves throughout the day, especially after working out. Unfortunately, Americans as a whole are not drinking nearly enough water and are essentially in a constant state of dehydration which can lead to a whole slew of issues you don’t want to deal with. When we don’t drink enough water, we may have trouble concentrating, our blood volume decreases and our heart rate increases, our ....

Eat This, Not That - - - Halloween Edition

Halloween is what I consider... The kick off to the upcoming holiday season and the perfect time to put together a game plan to help you stay on track this season and beyond. Typically the most difficult for those of us with a sweet tooth, Halloween is full of temptations and most all of them are detrimental to our health. It’s time to practice moderation and substitution right now while we are in the thick of the season. While sugar is obviously one of the biggest issues with consuming mass quantities of holiday candy, we also need to be aware of the concentration of high fructose corn syrup combined with GMO’s. Industrially processed food is practically void of any ....

5 Habits That Destroy Your Healthy Lifestyle!

Nobody ever said that it would be easy... Getting healthy is not a quick fix and staying on track is a lifelong endeavor. But, you may be sabotaging your own success and not even realize it! Here are 5 common habits that could destroy your healthy lifestyle. When thinking about habits to put on this list, the number one thing that came to mind is what kinds of beverages you consume. We are so accustomed to sweet flavors that we automatically gravitate toward sodas, juices and flavored coffees. The problem with all of these drinks is that they are full of sugar and unnecessary calories. Try to migrate your tastebuds to the “good side” and stick with water, infused ....

5 Common Fitness Myths

What do we want? To get in shape! When do we want it? Now! Instant gratification is the name of the game in today’s world. Unfortunately, getting in shape is not an overnight possibility. A multi-billion dollar industry, the fitness world is full of people who are promising the world and offering solutions to problems that just, flat out, don’t work (or even make sense in some instances). Here are five common fitness myths: Myth 1: You can target areas on your body to improve. While it would seem likely that if you spend all of your energy lifting weights, doing tricep dips and pushups that your arms would be on point, it just doesn’t work that way. You ....

RMR, What it is, and why YOU need to know yours!

RMR, or Resting MetabolicRate,refers to the total number of calories burned when your body is completely at rest. It's the number in which you need to know when starting your exercise protocol. Simply put, it's the baseline number in which youwould use to start if youwere to add or subtract calories to help you reach your goals. Here is an example - - Let's say Timmy has an RMR of 2000, meaning he burns 2000calories at rest every day. Timmy has a goal of wanting to lose 10lbs. We can use this number to calculate the timeframe in which it will take Timmy to reach his goal. There are 3500 calories in a pound, so we must burn 35,000 calories to lose 10lbs. First off, as an ....

Trevor and the trainers at Black Clover Fitness are top notch. I was in a rut with my workouts until I joined Black Clover. The positive energy that this gym has keeps me coming back day after day. I’m so thankful for Trevor, his team, and his amazing workouts.

Eric Blomberg

Black Clover Fitness has been fantastic for me over the past 6 months. I am a runner, 19 half marathons (plus 2 marathons) in the past 6 years. Over the last four years I had fallen into a pattern of carb loading diet to run and knee pain, due to over training. 

In the 6 months I’ve been with black clover fitness, thanks to the diet plan by Cindy Hoskins I have lost almost 50 lbs. Michele Badalucco has setup a personal training plan that fixed my gait, flexibility, and strength to the point I’m running pain free for the first time in 4 years. I’ve knocked almost 4 minutes off my mile time and 30 minutes off my half marathon time. She is so good at targeting what I need. 

And last but certainly not least is the happy, encouraging, and challenges Trevor Davis every day pushing me to my limits safely.

My daughter gets married in two weeks and I am looking and feeling better than I have in years. I will complete 5 half marathons this year getting number 21 in Las Vegas in November before my 60th birthday.

A person told me recently that in retirement health is the most important thing to invest in. Well worth the investment. 

Thanks Black Clover Fitness
