MARCH 2015 Newsletter

By Hillarie Z. Scannelli (Co-Owner @ !MPACT)

FREE ELITE ATHELTE SPORTS TESTING EVENT: When? Saturday, March 7^th at 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. This is for boys and girls , ages 12-18 – and you do not have to be an !MPACT client to participate in this FREE event. Participants will be tested in the following events: Vertical Jump, Broad Jump, and a speed & agility Shuttle Drill. Each participant will receive a record of their accomplishments. This type of athletic testing is a great way for young athletes to understand the importance of specificity training. In other words, if your child or teen does not have great upper body strength or core strength, then performing pull-ups or push-ups are going to be challenging. The more you work on those specific exercises, the more you will gradually be able to do. Same with the vertical jump . . . so many sports require jumping – whether you play volley ball, basketball or even certain positions in football. If you are not working on becoming more explosive with your lower body, then your vertical will not be as strong. BONUS: Register your athlete for this event, as we will also provide the participants with an information packet on sports nutrition so they understand how to fuel their bodies for optimal performance. If you would like to register your teen for this event, please email us with 1) their full name 2) their age and 3) sport they are interested in or are presently playing. Email: [email protected]

ZUMBA SPECIAL EVENT!: Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 22^nd at 9:00 a.m.! We have invited our friend and very talented Zumba instructor, Diane Harding, to lead you in a fun and invigorating Zumba class. It is only $10 for ALL participants (as this is not part of our regular Unlimited Training Program). You do not have to be an !MPACT client — and ALL fitness levels welcome. Just come dressed to work out – bring a water bottle – bring a friend — and a smile!!!

YOGA!: As a special treat we’ve been offering Yoga on selected Sundays . . . So we are offering it on Sunday, March 8^th AT 9:00 A.M. We moved it a little later to accommodate the sleepy-heads (haha!). We really love the instructor, Ann Marie Ovares, as her multi-level yoga class is fun with upbeat music. The cost is only $10 for ALL participants, since this is not part of our regular training calendar. And you do not have to be an IMPACT client to participate. Please bring your own yoga mat, a bottle of water, and a positive attitude . . . We will take care of the rest! What a great way to start your Sunday morning!

PROM & WEDDING CENTRAL! So there are lots of spring events to look forward to, including the junior and senior prom – along with weddings! So whether you are headed to prom or your bridal party wants to look their best for your special day, please consider joining us for our Prom & Wedding Central Event at !MPACT Training on Monday, March 16^th, at 7:30 p.m. So here is what we have in store for you: Rebecca DiStefano, Make-Up Artist and owner of Bronze Ambition Spray Tanning, will be doing a gorgeous make-over on one of our lovely Hillsborough High School Cheerleaders, Meghan Brownlie. I plan to get a spray tan from Rebecca two days prior to this event so you can see how natural and golden Rebecca’s spray tan is on me! It would be perfect for your prom or wedding – or any special occasion! In addition to Rebecca, we will also have Christine Murphy there with a full line of cosmetics so you can find just the right colors and shades to make your magical night even more amazing. We will also have a stylist from Renaissance Hair Salon demonstrating some great “up-do” hairstyles! Hillarie Scannelli (that’s ME!) will have some FREE fitness and nutrition tips so the girls can look lean & toned — feeling their very best too! Come on out – bring a friend! This is a FREE event, so please just drop us an email if you would like to attend so we can order enough chairs. [email protected]

And what an exciting time it will be to follow these college athletes as they pursue their dreams. When you combine natural talent, great coaching, proper nutrition, and cutting-edge training, you are sure to succeed!!!

CLIENT HIGHLIGHT:

Jeff Surin (PICTURED BELOW) started training at !MPACT Training a few months ago in an effort to get stronger in his upper body and more explosive from his hips and legs. Jeff is a Junior at Hillsborough High School, and is a pitcher for their Varsity Baseball Team. As a sophomore, Jeff pitched for both the JV and Varsity teams. Although Jeff had excellent pitching skills up until this point, he wanted to improve his overall pitching form – frame by frame – to mimic that of a professional major league pitcher. When working with a pitcher, the last thing you want to do is have him bulk up with muscle. His upper body needs to have a great range of motion without bulky muscles interfering. Jeff needed to gain strength, not necessarily size. So we did just that, using resistance bands, TRX Training, and with the use of lighter weights. And then to gain explosiveness in his hips, Jeff performed lots of single leg exercises, Plyometrics, and sports specific exercises. I was delighted to speak to Jeff’s dad, Barry, on Saturday who told me Jeff’s pitching coach was reviewing films of Jeff from last year . . . and he couldn’t believe the difference when they evaluated the videos they just recently filmed. Frame by frame, Jeff was in synch with a MLB pitcher! Can’t wait to see Jeff pitching this season!! Hard work pays off, and Jeff wasn’t afraid to get busy and do it! Jeff hopes to play baseball at a Division 1 college like Rutgers, Villa Nova or UMASS. A special thanks to Jeff’s parents, Joyce & Barry, for entrusting us with Jeff’s program.

WE WANT TO WELCOME TWO NEW MEMBERS TO THE !MPACT STAFF! !MPACT Training recently hired two new trainers to join our TEAM. We welcome Chris Cabel and Desiree Quirk. Chris has his CSCS (Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist) and also comes with great experience in working with athletes and one-on-one fitness enthusiasts alike.

So please welcome Chris, who you will see at !MPACT on Thursday nights – and Desiree, who you will see at !MPACT on Friday’s. You will continue to see “ME” on the training floor, in addition to our lead trainer, Mike Kelderman – and trainer, Alex Fontanetta, who is approaching her one-year anniversary at !MPACT – YAY! Love that we are evolving and growing every day at !MPACT, and really love networking with talented and passionate trainers. We are here to serve our clients and help them reach their goals.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER:

SHOUT OUT TO KELLY & ART VILLANO: So great when a couple comes together to reach their goals together. They had a nice Caribbean vacation planned at the end of February and they wanted to go on this trip looking AND feeling their best. They started their 30-Day Nutritional cleans in January, and in 30 days Kelly released 14 pounds and Art 22 pounds. Your dedication to exercise and your discipline on this plan speaks volumes . . . you can do ANYTHING when you put your mind to it! #mindovermatter

SHOUT OUT TO MICHELLE FREDA: Michelle started watching what she was eating in January and wanted to get healthier and fit. She then decided she wanted to take it up a notch and include a 30-Day Nutritional Cleansing Program to get results a little faster. Michelle lost a total of 12.5 pounds! Way to go, Michelle. I knew the ease of the program and the tasty supplements would get you the results you were looking for. So glad you enjoyed the program! You were a pleasure to coach.

TIA BOYLAN: Congratulations on releasing 12 pounds during your 30-Day Program! I’m so happy you loved the program and got the results you were looking for. I also love that you made no excuses . . . whether you were traveling on business or had family obligations. Nice job, Tia!!

MY BROTHER, BRIAN MCGOVERN – ROCKS HIS 30-DAY PROGRAM TOO!: I knew my brother was determined . . . but when he turned 40 in August, and made up his mind he wanted to decrease bodyfat to get healthier and stronger. He began his 30-Day Program in January – right after New Year’s. I am proud to say he lost a whopping 40 pounds in 30 days . . . and is continuing his journey into February and March to make a total transformation. As of February 22^nd, he is down a total of 48 pounds! His before and after pictures will follow in a month or so. He wants to reach his goal and then share the photos. Can’t wait to share! Love ya, Bri! And I’m so proud of you . . . you look awesome!

LYNDA AND JOE WITCOSKI: Always such a pleasure to coach couples through a 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse . . . makes following the plan even easier. Lynn and Joe were ready to take action and were excited to have a structured plan to follow . . . and boy did they follow it well!! By the end of her 30-Day Program in February, Lynn lost a total 15.5 pounds and her husband, Joe, lost 23 lbs.!! Congrats guys as you head into the spring feeling healthier and more fit! Need that spring weather NOW!!!!

ALBERT CHIPPERSON: Chip is not an !MPACT client . . . he is a dear friend – we graduated High School together. I ran into him at a party for a mutual friend and we started talking about how hard it is to stay in shape as we get older. I talked to him about Nutritional Cleansing and he decided to give it a go. Not only was it nice for me to reconnect with an old friend . . . but even better that I was able to help him lose 17 pounds in 30 days! Way to go, Chip . . . am really proud of you! And you look great!

CONGRATULATIONS TO STACEY KIERNAN, LYN MOODY AND KEATON WAGNER (PICTURED BELOW): Thank you for representing !MPACT at your very first “Stronger Than All” weight-lifting competition on January 31^st! Stacey, Lyn and Keaton did not know each other prior to joining !MPACT Training. Lyn is 42 years old and started training with us a few years back in an effort to get stronger and wanted to look fit – she wanted to see muscles – not big ones – just defined ones. Stacey is 39 years old and is married with three children. In addition to wanting to improve her fitness level and overall health, Stacey wanted to learn proper form for heavier lifting, as she has a love for weight training (me too!!!). Keaton is only 16 years old, but loves to weight train and feels a sense of empowerment from this dynamic type of training. So as you can see, these three girls are very different in a lot of ways . . . but there is one thing connecting them . . . Strength Training at !MPACT! I love that these ladies started training together with a weekly Semi-Private Training Session with trainer, Mike Kelderman. This was a sure way to keep them goal oriented and on track for success. LOVE these pictures of you girls from the completion. This was a really proud moment for my husband and I as business owners. THANK YOU! And great job with these gals, Mike Kelderman. Such a great teacher and role model for our clients.

HEALTHY RECIPE — Mediterranean Baked Fish:

Have 4-6 oz. of fish and serve with ½ cup of brown rice & steamed broccoli (fresh or frozen). Fish is such an excellent source of protein – and provides some brain power too! You can use any kind of fish for this recipe . . . flounder, tilapia, salmon, etc.

2 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (16 oz.) whole tomatoes, drained (reserve juice) and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup reserved tomato juice, from canned tomatoes

1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1/4 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed – use peel too – see next ingredient)
1 tablespoon fresh grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
black pepper to taste
1 lb. (or a bit more if you are feeding more people) fish fillets (sole, flounder, or sea perch)

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet, add onion, and sauté over moderate heat 5 minutes or until soft.
Add all remaining ingredients except fish.
Stir well and simmer 30 minutes, uncovered.
Arrange fish in 10×6″ dish; cover with sauce.
Bake, uncovered, at 375º F about 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
ENJOY!

PAY-IT-FORWARD

SUPERBOWL CHARITY BOOTCAMP – THANK YOU!: Thanks so much for everyone who came out on February 1^st to celebrate our 3-Year Anniversary at !MPACT Training – along with having some good old-fashioned fun at our charity bootcamp. We were able to raise $950 for our favorite charity, Steps Together through donations from those who participated in the bootcamp – and we raised another $1,200 with that day with our Superbowl Pool . . . YAY! Thanks to those who donated their winnings back to Steps Together! Check out this great video from our bootcamp . . . Thank-You Courtney Newman for putting this together so quickly. You are amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gStO7CC5zK0

STEPS TOGETHER NEEDS WALKERS TOO (no just runners): One of our initiatives in 2015 is to be a team of walkers as much as we are runners. Steps Together is kicking off this awareness campaign as soon the ground thaws! Everyone is invited to the Hillsborough High School track on Sunday, April 12th. There is no start or finish line, no way to get lost, no way for anyone to know how fast you are going . . . just come out, get moving and meet others in our community, paying it forward through fitness. The track will be open from 7 AM to Noon. During that time Bill Mather will be doing his 2nd annual 100 laps of healing – yes 26.2 miles on the track to raise funds for the families assisted by Steps Together! Steps Together is are currently seeking 10 businesses or individuals to pledge the laps of entire community. Minimum donation $500, maximum $1000 donation. Businesses would be permitted to have a table at the event, have their name list on the back of the event shirt and have their name and link off the 100 laps of healing page. To receive a shirt, participants should register in advance by making a $20 donation and pledge their intended number of laps. Everyone else is welcome to just attend the event! Simply walk, run, crawl or roll, and your efforts will raise money for Steps Together. Simply drop the number of laps you personally did in our lap jar before leaving the event. Laps will be tallied at the end of the event to send a message of love and support to the families assisted by Steps Together. All fitness levels, all ages welcome at anytime during the morning.

MORE ABOUT WALKERS GROUP: Is anybody interested in being part of a walking group on Saturday mornings? This would be a very informal group of people who want to connect and walk together – and a great way to prep for upcoming charity/walking events this spring and summer. Participants could meet at !MPACT Training (126 Stryker Lane, Building 24, Unit 3 in Hillsborough) on a Saturday morning following one of our bootcamps. So the times to walk would be at 7:00 a.m. and another group at 8:30 a.m. It is easy to map out a walking route in this industrial business area since there isn’t much traffic at this time. If you are interested in becoming part of this group, drop Michael an email, and we will let you know if there is enough interest. Maybe you would even like to be the point person for one of these time slots. Let’s not wait till spring – bundle up and let’s get walking! Interested parties should email: [email protected]

UPCOMING EVENTS: I’m so happy that awareness is growing and more people know about our favorite local charity called Steps Together. They help local families who are experiencing a medical crisis – so they are under a lot of stress due to the illness along with the financial responsibilities.

Even though it is still cold during March, it is a time of change . . . Spring sports start their training, fitness enthusiasts start planning outdoor runs and races, and we ALL think about being in better shape for the spring and summer. So let’s make the most of March. Don’t put off your fitness plan any longer and don’t keep saying you will start your healthy eating plan next week. Make it this week! Drink more water, get enough sleep, nourish your body with clean foods, and squeeze in that workout – even if it is only 30 minutes. Lastly, be good to your body – you only get ONE. And if you need any help or would like to talk about setting goals, please drop me an email . . . I would be happy to point you in the right direction and motivate you!: [email protected]
