Congratulations to Fahrenheit Nutrition Athlete, Trent Calavan, on his 1st place finish at the NPC Pittsburgh Championships this past weekend!

Here’s what Trent, who had to compete in a class comprised of 30 competitors, said following his victory…

For a long time I didn’t listen to music while I worked out but then started to more often about a year ago and now I feel like I have to listen to music to workout.  I connect music with emotion and I’ve found that when I listen to motivational music when I really need a kick in the pants it really makes a big difference for me to get started or get through my workouts. Here are just a sample of some songs I listen to maybe they can help motivate you too.

I often get this question from people who want to eat healthy and are trying to meet their fitness and health goals. They are often confused with the different types of carbohydrates as to which ones are “good” for you and which are “bad”.  Well the answer is not simple.

You’ve said to yourself; “It’s time to lose this weight”, “I’m going to make it to the gym at least 4 times this week”, and “I’m going to get healthier.” But, “What do I eat?” When it comes to weight loss, many people are confused about what to eat, what not to eat, and how much.

How many hours a day do you spend watching television, playing video games or checking social networking websites?

The average adult spends 8½ hours per day in front of a screen. Preschool children spend an average of 32 hours a week in front of a screen.

Formerly TV-Turnoff Week, Screen Free Week (April 30 through May 6th) aims to reduce screen time that is not required for work or school.

Like many others, I lead a hectic and busy life. Work, training, cardio sessions, home life, & family are my top priorities and finding a balance between it all can be very difficult, but it can be done.
