5 NUTRITION TIPS TO SHED BODY-FAT FOR GOOD!:
1) Change Your Lifestyle: Setting yourself up on a “diet” to reach a specific goal can sometimes mean there is an “endpoint” to your plan. That only contributes to yo-yo dieting, and we don’t want that. In reality it is lifestyle changes that you adhere to that are going to help reduce body-fat and KEEP the pounds off. So please follow the rest of these tips and MAKE IT your LIFESTYLE!
2) Drink MORE Water! Did you realize that your body uses water to transport and burn fat? And if you drink an 8 oz. glass immediately before having your meal, you will feel full much faster – so you will consume fewer calories. Water also helps keep your body properly hydrated during your workouts, which is essential . . . Can’t say enough about drinking water. Shoot for ½ your body-weight in ounces of water EVERY DAY!
3) Consumer Fewer Calories Than You Burn: You can estimate that if you weigh 135 pound, your body uses about 1350 calories during the day – just to move around and function (not counting exercise). So now take your weight and multiply it by 10 so you have a basic estimation of your resting metabolic rate (RMR). Then if I added the calories I typically burn during one of my bootcamps (about 475 calories), to the calories burned at rest: 1325, my grand total of calories burned for the day would be 180. This means that my daily diet . . . the calories I consume, should be LESS than 1800 calories. When your body is in a deficit, you lose weight. Therefore, when I am trying to lose a few pounds, I usually consume about 1400 calories per day, and I get to my goal weight pretty quickly. Then I make sure I follow all these nutrition tips so that LIFESTYLE changes help me KEEP the weight off. Remember, even if you are eating healthy, you still have to know what your daily calorie range should be and stick to it. When you reach your goal weight, you can certainly increase your calories by a 200 or 300 calories so that you maintain your weight instead of continuing to lose.
4) Reduce Starchy Carbs: Although we definitely need starchy carbs for energy, consuming smaller portions is definitely necessary in order to lose or maintain your weight. This would be foods like pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, cereals, grains, etc. Did you realize that a serving of rice is a ½ cup . . . Personally, I love rice, so I know I could “house” a pile of it (haha!) . . . So I measure out my portions so I give my body just what it needs. And I always focus more on the lean proteins and the fibrous carbs (vegetables and salads) that I am having with my starchy carbs. Fill up on the fiber and protein!
5) Limit Sugar Consumption: This is critical to your success. Think about all the miscellaneous sugars you might be having every day . . . whether it is to sweeten your coffee (and don’t forget those sweetened/flavored creamers too!), or you are eating yogurts or smoothies with excess sugars — or even alcoholic beverages (YIKES), you need to start looking at how much you are taking in each day. When looking at labels, choose beverages or snacks that have 10 grams of sugar or less. Stick with natural sugars – like fruit and limit it to one or two pieces of fruit per day. Vegetables are MUCH lower in sugar so focus on those! Cucumbers, snap peas and red pepper slices in a little sandwich ziplock baggie makes an excellent mid-morning snack. It provides your body with fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients!
MONTHLY GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR

Changes to August Training Calendar: These changes are all noted on the Group Training Calendar . . . During August, the 9:30 a.m. Group Training Sessions on Monday’s and Wednesday’s will stay at the newly appointed 8:00 a.m. time frame. So Monday through Thursday, you have the option of coming to an 8:00 a.m. Group Training Session. The Friday Group Training Session will remain at 9:30 a.m. And then in September, the 8:00 a.m. sessions will go back to 9:30 a.m. so that busy parents can get their kids ready for school.
AUGUST CALENDAR: Do you know why !MPACT Training is different than any other gym or training facility? We offer all different types of workouts for every fitness level, and they are ALWAYS guided by a certified/degreed Personal Trainer. We can talk to you about your goals, specifically, to help guide you through your journey, AND we are offering some great nutritional advice to help you reach your goals. Please click here to take a look at our AUGUST GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR for adults, teens and kids. We have such a wide variety of group training sessions ranging from strength & resistance training to multi-level bootcamps or cardio-style workouts . . . We have just what you need! We also offer one-on-one personal training, partner training or semi-private training and those are scheduled separately based on the time that is best for you to train. So please call us to let us know your availability and we will get you onto our trainer’s calendar (908) 428-7978!
SENIORS TRAINING (AGES 60+) COMING IN OCTOBER! We are VERY excited to announce we are starting a special training session for men and women who are age 60 or older! This new training program will be every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m., starting on October 4th, and we will def think about adding more sessions — this is a great start! So think about it . . . when we were young, we needed to exercise to help our bodies develop and grow . . . and once we were grown, it was essential that we continue to exercise to maintain our health and our strength. And then when we hit our 50’s, we are usually trying to decrease bodyfat for optimal health, as we adjust to a slowing metabolism. By age 60, the goal is usually to remain healthy, fit and FUNCTIONAL. It is so important to incorporate joint integrity work –so that our connective tissue is also strengthened. This not only helps to reduce inflammation and pain, but it also allows us to have a healthier range of motion when performing day-to-day activities. In this 55-minute training session, participants will be guided through a safe and effective workout that starts with a gentle warm-up, followed by resistance band work, balance and core training, and weight training to help improve strength as well as bone density issues. The session finishes off with wonderful stretches to elongate the muscles. This group training session is for beginners, as well as those that are already fit. Participants will use weighted equipment such as dumbbells, machines, bands and medicine balls — and they will also use slide boards, balance pads and lots of other fun equipment. Complimentary nutritional handouts will be provided since we definitely want to make sure all participants are coupling their exercise routine with healthy eating. And if we get a lot of interest in this program, we would definitely be interested in adding another day of training each week! This is a discounted program for seniors, so please call Michael Scannelli if you are interested in getting started on this new program or would like pricing: 908-403-7605.
CALLING ALL ATHLETES: Need to squeeze in some additional training so you are at the top of your game? Wait till you get a private workout on our new Vertimax Trainer (pictured above). This patented, jump-training technology is specifically designed to power in all phases of a vertical jump – which is great for every sport. By simultaneously targeting explosive leg power and arm swing velocity, athletes can now maximize their vertical lift component and get unmatched vertical gains. So this equipment can help your athlete run faster, jump higher and become more explosive. Our customized plans are based on each client’s specific goals – and we identify their strengths and weaknesses . . . then we get to work! We offer 30-minute and 55-minute training sessions — and athletes who purchase discount a 10 or 20-pack of personal training sessions are eligible to come for ONE FREE group training session per week. They would greatly benefit from our Elite Athlete Training, and if they are 15 years or older, they can jump into any bootcamp or weight-training session for adults. What a great way to train in the off-season or to stay conditioned during your regular season! We offer personal training throughout the day – starting early morning, straight through till 8:30 p.m. Just call us to let us know the time frame your teen (or pre-teen) would like to train, and we’ll match that up with our trainer availability. Email Mike at: [email protected] OR call Michael at: 908-403-7605.
VIRTUAL COACHING: This is the latest way people are setting and reaching their fitness goals – especially if they don’t live close to !MPACT Training. The first 1-hour session via phone with Hillarie is a great way for the client to outline his/her fitness goals and set up their plan of attack . . . whether it be weight-loss; improved energy levels; building muscle while decreasing bodyfat to get leaner and stronger; or receiving workout programs (via email) to do on your own so you get the results you are looking for. Maybe you just need that motivation, knowing you are being held accountable to an expert in this field – as that helps so many of us stay on track. Your program can also be a combination of nutritional & dietary guidance along with exercise counseling on what might be best for you to be doing on your own — and you will actually small have homework assignments depending on your goals. As part of the initial session, Hillarie will email you some nutritional info and general fitness handouts that you will go over on your initial call so you have a good idea of what is expected of you in the weeks ahead. If you are interested in weight-loss, you will be emailed a blank food log & exercise log which you will complete and email back to Hillarie on a weekly basis (prior to your scheduled call). After the initial 1-hour session, the next 5 weeks will be 30-minute sessions (via phone) to go over your food log — to talk about any obstacles or barriers you may have incurred — to talk about your exercise log and receive helpful corrections as needed — and to get inspired for the week ahead. It’s really hard to do it alone, especially when your life is busy with so many other things. So working with Hillarie for 6 weeks is a great way to change your mindset, and become more focused on your fitness, your health, and your overall wellness, and to gain the knowledge about proper nutrition and exercise based on your goals. *If you wish to continue these coaching sessions, they can be purchased in 5 week packs. For pricing, please email: [email protected]

Mary Chappel blew me away with this transformation . . . This isn’t a 30-day quick fix, this is a lifestyle change that leads people to changing directions in life. Just like a home improvement project — when you change the rugs then you paint and get new drapes right? One change leads to another.

This gal is sure to win the Isabody Challenge!
WEIGHT-LOSS, HEALTHY AGING, ENERGY & PERFORMANCE, OR WEALTH CREATION: If you see any of my facebook posts, you can see I am really passionate about helping others reach their goals.

SWEAT ANGELS & !MPACT TRAINING: We found another way to give back . . . Every month there is a different cause – so for the hot month of July, we provided safe drinking water to people in need all over the world. For EVERY Facebook “check-in” at !MPACT Training, it provided 50 gallons of drinking water through H2OpenDoors. H2OpenDoors is a program of The Rotary Club with a long term goal of providing access to clean, safe drinking water for one million people in developing nations. When you check in on Facebook, make sure to add #givewater to your posts. It’s a great way to remind your friends of why you’re checking in! Together, we can help make a difference by providing clean and safe drinking water to those who are poverty stricken. Sweat Angels is a company that links with fitness businesses to provide necessary things for those in need, and every month there is a different cause. A monthly contribution that makes us feel good!
FREE RUNNING PROGRAM ON SUNDAY MORNINGS: Bill Mather (Marathon runner and Steps Together Board Member) started a running group that meets on Sunday mornings in Hillsborough (locations may vary). If you are interested in meeting up with them, just email Bill so he can keep you in the loop on the time and place: [email protected] . . . This is a great way to stay in shape – and also a great way to prepare for upcoming 5K’s or half/full marathons.

NOTE FROM HILLARIE: Hope you are all having a great summer . . . can’t believe it is half-way over already! However, I’d like to think of it as the glass “half-full” . . . meaning there are so many good times to be had before we are ready for the fall. So enjoy your families, beach and pool days – and take time to workout and do some meal prep so you have healthy meals available. Lastly, drink PLENTY of water. Sometimes we can feel like a failure on our diet plans when the summertime rolls around . . . it’s so hard because we are exposed to more food and FUN . . . But don’t get discouraged. Remember, the only way to fail is to quit. We will have no quitters here. You CAN do this! If you ever feel like you need a quick conversation or phone call to help you set some goals, just give me a call 908-428-7978. –Hillarie
