CLIENT HIGHLIGHT!!! Way to go, Manish!
CLIENT HIGHLIGHT: Manish Shah (pictured above with our trainer, Mike Kelderman, who helped him prepare for this event) started training with us in September of 2014, and his goal was to improve his strength as well as his overall fitness level. This 43-year old corporate executive made the decision to train for something BIGGER . . . Mt. Everest Base Camp (located in the Himalayas in Asia)! That is a climb of about 17,000 feet . . . and it takes about 12 days. His training became more intense, and we even had Manish wear a mask or scarf around his mouth and nose for his last few training sessions so that he would be able to experience a laborious workout with a decrease in oxygen. During this climb, the altitude change and decrease in oxygen can make a climber feel sick, so his rigorous training will surely pay off. He has been in touch with us during his trek and as of day 4, he had traveled 22.59 miles! He has 8 more days to go, and sent us these amazing pictures from his trek thus far (pictured below). We can’t wait till he reaches the top . . . especially since he asked us if he could bring a small !MPACT Training banner to hold up! We were honored he wanted to bring our banner, and I knew there was only ONE way the !MPACT Training banner was making it to the Mt. Everest Basecamp, and that was if Manish was carrying it! Haha! He is such a great guy with a remarkable spirit. Manish and his lovely wife, Avani (who also trains with us) have two beautiful children (Keya, age 12 and Rahul, age 10). Manish is the President and CEO of Cover-All Technologies based in Morristown, New Jersey. STAY TUNED TO OUR MAY NEWSLETTER WITH MANISH WHEN HE REACHES THE BASECAMP HOLDING OUR IMPACT BANNER! Congrats, Manish! Thank you for trusting us to train you for this monumental event in your life! LOVING THESE PICS (below)

DIP INTO THE WEIGHT-LOSS POOL AND WIN $$$: OK, so we were trying to think of a way to motivate people even more to get on track with their fitness plans for summer . . . and we figured a weight-loss pool leading us into Memorial Day Weekend would be perfect. Memorial Day weekend will arrive and the winner will not only be fit and feeling great about himself/herself BUT they will also have some extra spending cash for the holiday weekend – BOULAAAH! So here’s the skinny on the contest (excuse the pun – haha!):
– Each Participant must sign the registration sheet and pay $20 to enter.
– A scheduled weigh-in with a staff member must take place between April 6th and April 8th . . . and again at the end (between May 18th and 20th).
– Participants MUST weigh-in weekly (on their own) and record it in their file at !MPACT Training. Management will be checking the files to update the leader board every week. Anyone who fails to weigh-in (unless they let us know they are away on vacation) will NOT be eligible for the POOL/PRIZE
– A minimum of 15 participants is necessary to validate the contest. Who couldn’t use a $300 WIN? Nobody I know!
SUMMER CAMP: Fit & Fun Camp (for children ages 7-13): Back by popular demand! They will have a blast participating in a fun fitness circuit, having relay races, playing kickball, dodgeball and more! Kids are broken up into age appropriate groups for training. Camp operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon the week of July 6th and the week of July 13th. Space is limited and every year we sell out fast. So reserve your place now! Camp is only $125 per child/per week if you register by March 31st ($135 after 3/31), and we offer a $10 discount for siblings.
NEW GROUP SESSION: Have you tried our “revamped” TRX session on Thursday nights? If you haven’t you should come and try it out! If you are new to !MPACT, your first session is on us!

RECIPE: Healthy & Natural “Belly Slimming” Detox Water
I posted this receipt on facebook, and received so many requests from people who heard about it, that I decided to add it to our newsletter!
WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS RECIPE:
-
1-2 Liters water
-
1 cucumber
-
1 lemon
-
1 orange
-
10-15 fresh mint leaves
-
handful of ice
Why this combo?
1. Water: helps flush toxins and waste through our system while keeping us hydrated.
2. Cucumber: contains citrulline which is an amino acid that has been shown to help our liver and kidneys get rid of ammonia which is a by-product of the proteins our bodies burn for energy.
3. Lemon: stimulates the digestive track so it’s helpful if you have constipation, heartburn, or gas.
4. Mint: helps you digest effectively because it improves the flow of bile from the liver to the gallbladder to the small intestine to break down dietary fats. It also helps relax cramped-up stomach muscles.
5. Orange: contains flavonoids in the peel and juice that stimulate the immune system and protects against a fungi/pests while helping to reduce cholesterol levels.
DIRECTIONS: Just fill up your pitcher . . . slice up some cucumbers, lemons and oranges – and add these slices right into the pitcher, along with 10-15 fresh mint leaves. Refrigerate overnight, and it’s ready to go the next day! Try to drink the contents of the pitcher throughout the day . . . and feel free to use this regiment for a few days in a row or several days to cleanse your body!

MY BROTHER, BRIAN MCGOVERN – STILL ROCKING HIS NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING PROGRAM: 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 Nutritional Cleansing Program in January – right after New Year’s. I am proud to say he lost a whopping 40 pounds in 30 days . . . and continued his journey into February and March to make a total transformation. He has lost a total of 62 pounds as of March 25th! Can’t wait to share his before and after in the next few weeks! He wants to reach his goal and then share the photos. YAY BRIAN! Couldn’t be more proud!
CONGRATS NOELLE MCGOWAN!!: No grass growing under your feet, Noelle! Haha! You are doing such a terrific job on your 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse. As of Wednesday, March 25th, you are on day 24 and are already down 16 pounds. So glad you are finding this program easy to follow . . . and I love the fact that the nutrient dense shakes and cleanse days are like doing spring cleaning for our bodies! Way to go, girl!!! Looking forward to hearing about your results by day 30 – and also super happy there is a SOLID maintenance plan for you and even a way to lose more if you want too. This is NOT a fad . . . YAHOO!!
BIG SHOUT OUT TO REBECCA NEWMAN: Knew you would rock this program, Rebecca! As of Wednesday, March 25th, Rebecca is only on day 7 of her program and is down 11 POUNDS! I love the weight-loss from this program but also love that people really want to get healthier. They want to release toxins and rejuvenate their bodies and boost their energy levels. Life is too short to wait for a health problem, and I love when someone like Rebecca takes action to get the results she is looking for!! Great job, Rebecca. Can’t wait to hear how you feel by the end of your 30 days!! This story is definitely “To Be Continued”
AND A BIG SHOUT OUT TO DOUG BROUILLARD!: Doug started his 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse on March 9th . . . and as of March 25th is down 21 pounds! Really proud of you, Doug. It gave me great pleasure to coach you through this process and super psyched to hear your results. Way to go, pal!

You are gonna be sooooo ready for spring and summer, girlfriend!! Really proud of your accomplishments!
CONGRATULATIONS LISA B.!!: I know you were apprehensive about starting your 30-Day program since you sometimes suffer from digestive issues. Glad to see you are sticking to it and are already down 10 pounds in 17 days!! YAHOO!! And the weight-loss is just an added PERK . . . The reason we do this program is so that we cleanse down to the cellular level to eliminate toxins and visceral fat (fat specifically in the abdomen – and most of us have it!). When we cleanse, we feel energized and more balanced. I knew you could do this, Lisa!! Way to go, Lisa!
GREAT TEAM-WORK DENNIS AND ALLYSON KNOX!! Dennis and Allyson Knox had those last few pounds they wanted to reach before the spring/summer, so they gave everything they had into their 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse. Happy to say it was a tie!! Both Dennis and Allyson lost 10 pounds and Alyson is happily at her pre-baby weight. They have two adorable children (Liam and Amelia) who keep them VERY busy — but they made no excuses. They devoted time to working out and following their 30-Day Program. Awesome job, Dennis and Allyson . . . YAY!!!
CONGRATS TO COURTNEY NEWMAN . . . SHE IS NOW ONE OF SOMERSET COUNTY’S OUTSTANDING WOMEN OF THE YEAR!!!!: Yes, that’s right! The Co-Founder of Steps Together (my favorite local charity) recently received the news of her nomination AND her winning the award that she will be receiving on Friday, March 27th. This was given to her in the “Volunteering” category . . . and it is no wonder why with all she does for our community and the local families in medical crisis. Congrats, Court! We are so proud to have you and Mike Newman leading this charity, and we are so happy for the recognition you are receiving!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
Alrighty . . . Spring is “almost” here . . . that last snow storm threw most of us over the edge. Happily the sun has been shining, which can really help boost our moods and energy levels – AND also help lift depression for those who suffer from it.
So let’s just remember that we need to stay focused on getting healthier in 2015 . . . and the shorts and bathing suits will be coming out of the drawers and closets soon – yahoo! Spring is a time of new beginnings and renewal, so let’s start taking better care of the ONE body God gave us. Let’s also remember to drink more water (we never drink enough!) . . . eat your three main meals (being conscious to eat cleaner with a balance of proteins and carbs) – AND be sure to add small healthy snacks in between meals to help regulate your blood-sugar levels. Eat more vegetables and some fruit too, and exercise a little bit every day. Whether you can spend an hour or only 25 minutes, it is better than nothing. 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]
Have a great day and a healthy month! God Bless.
Hillarie
