CHRISTMAS WISH LISTS FOR OUR STEPS TOGETHER BENEFICIARIES:  Last year I can’t believe how our !MPACT clients and readers of this newsletter came to the rescue for these families in need.  Remember our beneficiaries are LOCAL to Somerset County – and all are experiencing financial difficulties due to a serious or terminal illness within their family.  The holidays brings about more stress – trying to think about HOW they are going to find the extra cash to buy holiday presents for their family members.  So if you wish to give these beneficiaries a wonderful holiday, please CLICK ON THIS LINK to view the list/link:  http://www.steps-together.org/gifts   Your purchases will get directly delivered to the beneficiaries homes, so just follow the directions.  Thank you so much – in advance – for your thoughtfulness and generosity!

KIDS’ TRAINING IS BACK! Whatever your sport . . . We can help enhance performance.  If you have a child (ages 7-11) who would love an awesome 45-minute workout, then you don’t want to miss our training on Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m. (it started in November and we are continuing!) Our trainer will run them through drills and exercises to enhance performance and improve balance, flexibility and strength.  The kids will participate in fun speed & agility drills, as well as learn proper running form, perform timed obstacle courses and more!  If you need more info, please call Michael at 908-403-7605.

       

SENIORS’ TRAINING IS HERE, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY TO HAVE SOME GREAT CLIENTS TRAINING WITH US!  SENIORS’ STRENGTH TRAINING (AGES 55-60+) IS HAPPENING EVERY TUESDAY AT 10:00 A.M.!  This training session is for men and women who are age 55-60 or older!  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 40’s and age 50, we are usually trying to decrease bodyfat for optimal health, as we adjust to a slowing metabolism.  By age 55-60, the goal is usually to remain healthy, fit and FUNCTIONAL as we AGAIN deal with a metabolism that is moving even slower.  If we had more lean muscle mass on our bodies, we would burn more calories – even at rest – plus, we would LOOK AND FEEL BETTER.  And 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.  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.  Variations to exercises will be offered based on participant’s abilities.  During this training session, 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. PLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS PROGRAM SO WE CAN GET A HEADCOUNT AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY.  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.

DECEMBER 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 DECEMBER 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!

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!

CONGRATS TO MACKENZIE KIERNAN AND CASSIDY BAYER (pictured above) for receiving their Varsity letters at their recent Field Hockey Banquet.  We are so proud of both of these girls who trained with us, and were recognized for their hard work.  Congratulations Macker and Cassidy!

CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE BARKER!  Dave (pictured above) is one of our clients who trains regularly with us at 5:45 a.m. . . . and this is one AMAZING guy.  He set out to run 1,000 miles during 2016 for Steps Together . . . So between all his training– and his participation in local 5K’s, 10K’s, the Spartan Race(s), the Princeton Half Marathon, the NYC Marathon and the Philly Half Marathon, Dave has exceeded his goal.  That’s a whole lot of running, my friend!  Thank you for all you have collected for steps together, and congrats on your success.

CONGRATULATIONS TO KIRA FERRAIOLO!  Kira (pictured above) has been playing softball since she was a little girl, and she has been training with us at !MPACT for the last few years — private training.  We couldn’t be happier that Kira is receiving a scholarship and has committed to playing softball for Sacred Heart in Hartford, CT . . . a Division 1 school in the Northeast Conference!  The entire Ferraiolo family has been dedicated to this sport, with Kira’s younger sister, Tori, also playing travel softball — and father, Joe coaching.  Kira’s mom, Tami has made a life out of getting these girls to pitching lessons, private training, travel team practices and games around the nation.  This is a great example of a family pulling together to make dreams come true.  So happy your hard work is paying off, Kira.  We have been blessed to train you in preparation of your college debut!

BIG SHOUT OUT TO MY TEAM MATE, GABBY (see her amazing before and after pictured above):  LOOK AT WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR CAN MAKE!  Where will you be in your fitness journey by this time next year?  Gabby realized she needed to make some changes if she wanted to get healthy.  She started her 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse and quickly realized her body was not only responding to healthy changes, but that this healthier lifestyle was something she needed to continue.  She loves her energy levels as well as going shopping for new clothes!  You are more than ready for the holidays, Gabby!  CONGRATS!

ATHLETE’S CORNER:

Do you need more calories to gain weight for a specific sport?  Whether you are a pro athlete or a teenager looking to gain some weight for a particular sport, you can do it by adding “quality calories” to your daily diet.  Did you know that you need to intake at least 5-6 meals per day (with a total of 3,000-6,000 calories per day – depending on your weight gain goals)?  This is not an easy task – although eating that many calories sure sounds fun.  The problem is that you have to eat the right balance of proteins and carbs – with just the right amount of healthy fats too.  You can’t simply eat a pile of potatoes, Pop-Tarts or fast food to help you reach your weight-gain/muscle gain goals.  If you eat nothing but carbs, fats and fun foods, you won’t be very successful at gaining lean muscle mass.  Instead, you will gain nothing but a spare tire (body fat) around your mid-section – and we all know that will have a negative effect on your speed and agility skills.  So if you need a one-on-one sports nutrition session to set your athlete up for success, drop us an email ([email protected])  — And here’s a tip . . . This is a great way to increase your daily calories is by adding an 8 oz. glass of low-fat or skim milk to each of your meals.  That will give you balanced calories with proteins and carbs – and it will add about 110-120 calories to each meal.  Another great way to increase quality calories is to include at least two protein drinks per day.  And you can bulk up more “quality calories” into your protein drink.  Here’s how – add ingredients listed below and blend well:

–      1½ cups of 2% Milk + chopped ice (optional) = 183 calories

–      1 scoop of Whey Protein Powder (choc. OR vanilla) = 100 calories

–      8 oz. of low-fat Plain or Vanilla Greek Yogurt = about  80 calories

–      1/3 cup dry oatmeal = 150 calories

–      Banana = about 100 calories

–      1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter = 100 calories

–      TOTAL FOR THIS SHAKE = 695 quality calories

VERTIMAX TRAINING — 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 (equipment 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 a discount 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:  908-403-7605.

THE BEST VERSION OF YOU IN 2017!:  Are you interested in a scientifically proven weight-loss program WITH a solid maintenance plan to follow?  Want to improve energy levels and improve your overall health?  Then you might want to talk to me about our 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse & Maintenance Plan.  I will help you set 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day goals to get you into the best shape of your life!  Just email me with your name and cell number, along with the best times to reach you.  I will call you and answer any questions you might have — and I would also love to hear about all of your health and fitness goals to see if the program would be a good fit for you.  Thirty days from now you will be forever grateful you started! Email:  [email protected]

PAYING-IT-FORWARD:

YAY!  OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY VENDOR BOUTIQUE held on November 10th, brought in $1,435 and all of that was donated to Steps Together!  Thank you so much to our vendors as well as those who came out to get a jump start on their holiday shopping!  We will definitely be holding this event again next year!  However, for an even better turnout, we will be sure to schedule it on a different week than teacher’s convention.  Most likely our event will be on the first Thursday in November, since teacher’s convention is the second week.

PAYING IT FORWARD TO STEPS TOGETHER:  If you wish to donate Christmas presents for the beneficiaries of Steps Together, please see paragraph at the beginning of the newsletter with all the details.

SWEAT ANGELS & !MPACT TRAINING:  We found another way to give back. . And every month there is a different cause.  As of November 16th . . . 2,616,083 men will be educated about the risks of prostate cancer because of our client’s check-ins so far!  That’s basically 121 men every minute this month! Awesome!  During October, for every 3 Facebook “check-ins”, three women are provided with a FREE breast & ovarian cancer risk assessment.  In September we were able to donate 784 bowls of food to pets in shelters – in August we donated bricks to build a school – and in July we donated 12,050 gallons of clean water to those in need.  Isn’t that amazing! So how are we doing all these good deeds?  We partnered with Sweat Angels, a company that links with fitness businesses to provide necessary things for those in need, and every month there is a different cause . . . It’s a monthly contribution to Sweat Angels from !MPACT that makes us feel good!  We will keep you posted on next month’s charity . . . It’s fun giving to different causes every month, and makes us feel great about helping others.

!MPACT “STUFF”

!MPACT OFFERS ½ HOUR PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS:  Some people are pressed for time, others juggling finances . . . but one thing for sure, many of you are making fitness a priority.  You now have the option to come for a full, 55-minute personal training session — OR come for a 30-minute personal training session!  These are great for athletes too!  Call us for more info:  908-403-7605 or email:  [email protected]

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:  It’s December – The temperature is finally getting colder and the holidays will be here soon.    So as you start getting ready to make those New Year’s resolutions, start thinking about clean eating coupled with safe & effective workouts . . . start thinking about becoming the best version of yourself — more time for sleep, more time for your spiritual side, and more time for your family. I actually hate New Year’s resolutions because I prefer people start NOW – whenever now is . . . whether it is in March or July.  Our fitness and our health need to become a priority.  We are of no use to our family if we are sick.  And you can’t succeed unless you START.  Lastly, I always like to remind people that 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
