Lombard’s Corner

Hey everyone! My name is Michael Lombard, I’m brand new to the Truck Parking Club team, but not new to the industry. My last name goes back over 100 years in the trucking industry, and I have personally worked in the warehouse, over the road trucking, and as a recruiter in transportation. While serving over the road I worked in dry-van, and a year in flatbed/RGN. I’m very passionate about driver health, and as an OTR trucker I trained and ran in 5 marathons. I am an ACE certified Group Fitness Instructor, and have worked in fitness and personal training for nearly two years. I look forward to providing some tips and insights on how you can maintain a healthy lifestyle whether at home or over the road!

With the new year underway, we can be bogged down with advertisements regarding weight loss, and new year challenges. All of that information can be overwhelming, and what I’ve found to be the most beneficial is to start with one lifestyle or habit change if you want to start living as the best you. This week let’s start with protein: It is the most important macro nutrient out there, and one that humans can’t live without! Not only do we need protein for muscle growth, you need it to retain the current lean muscle you already have. Loss of muscle increases risk of injury, and can increase your risks of chronic disease. Aim for consuming one gram of protein per pound of goal/ideal body weight per day. Proper protein intake will not only help you retain lean muscle, but overall metabolic health including better sleep, hair, nails, less brain fog, and more energy. Eating an adequate amount of protein will also help curb appetite that won’t having you eat in excess of calories! Come back next week where I’ll break down caloric intake, and how you can control it no matter where you are in your journey

You can follow Lombard on Tiktok here and listen to his podcast here.
