Are you getting much of these?
It’s recommended that we eat 6-10 fruits and vegetables a day. Here in the States it is reported the actual average of fruits and veggies eaten each day is just 2.
Yup, just 2.
Now, I don’t know where you stand on this, but overall, it really is a sad state of nutritional affairs.
But don’t worry It’s not that tough to get more fruits and veggies in each day.
Here are some super simple tips to get you started:
1) Buy ‘em pre-chopped
Look, I can be lazy, too 
There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to go through the hassle of having to chop up fruits and veggies. If you want to buy them pre-chopped go ahead. It’s much better for you than not eating them.
2) Carry ‘em with you
Load up a plastic baggie with your pre-chopped veggies and bring them to work. Seriously, see how easy this can be!
3) Add real fruit to your yogurt
Have some yogurt for breakfast and add some fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. It’s that simple!
Bonus tip: A great way to provide your body with the nutritional foundation you need each day is a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin. I’m a proud Prograde Nutrition partner and they have a terrific product called VGF 25+ that is made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits.
The best part is you can try Prograde’s VGF 25+ for FREE! (There’s just a small S & H charge)

Yours in health,

Hagerstown’s Most Trusted Fitness Team
Filed under Blog by admin
I had the distinct pleasure of conducting a strength training session with the North Hagerstown High School wrestling team today, and I gotta say, color me impressed. From beginning to end, the boys were focused, motivated, and willing to crank it like I wanted them to. I divided them into teamsof three, with at least one wrestler with a year or more of strength training on the team as my co-coach to help the more inexperienced wrestlers. We then did a simple strength circuit which consisted of deadlift, weighted pushups, and “commando” pullups.
Everyone kept busy, and worked hard, so I rewarded the best lifter with one of my “Train Hard(er)” t-shirts with one of the greatest quotes fro Coach Vince Lombard on the backi:
“Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.”
I wanted these kids to understand what will take them from good to great in the world of wrestling, and also in life. Working hard makes you good, working harder makes you a champion. Being willing to “pay the price” is paramount to set the stage for success. What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals? Are you willing to do one more rep? Do one more drill? Watch one more instructional video? Give up weekend partying during the season?
This has to be understood if you want to be great. Commit to pitching a tent about a mile outside your comfort zone and get to WORK. That’s the key to success on the mat and off.
Just my opinion though…
