OCTOBER 2017 NEWSLETTER

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH:  As you all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month . . . and I’ll bet everyone reading this newsletter knows at least one person who has been affected by this widespread form of cancer.  We have a few clients at !MPACT who are breast cancer survivors or have recently been treated, and we always keep hearing that early detection is critical.  ATTN CLIENTS:  We have some nice little giveaways in honor of those fighting breast cancer – you will find them at the front desk when you come in, so please take one.  And as a reminder to all the ladies out there — please remember to do regular self-exams, along with annual visits to your OB/GYN — plus an annual mammography.  And learning to pay attention to cleaner foods can also be a huge help.  Eat plenty of vegetables and lean proteins too.   Try your best to limit or omit soy from your diet since there are conflicting reports on its link to breast and ovarian cancer.  Try to eat organic when possible, since pesticides, chemicals and artificial sweeteners & artificial ingredients have been linked to cancer.  Try to get away from using plastic . . . never using it in the microwave.  The toxic chemicals in plastic leak into your food even if you can’t “see” them.  And we should even start paying more attention to the products we use on our skin, along with our toothpaste and house cleaning supplies.  Some of the chemicals get absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your skin.  We live in very scary times . . . and this info is not made to create panic, but more awareness.  Many cancers are linked to toxic chemicals we ingest, inhale or put onto our bodies.  So in addition to exercising on a regular basis and drinking bottled water, we can also eat cleaner and be more careful with the products we use . . . Nobody is exempt from cancer.  Stage 2 Diabetes can be prevented with healthy eating and exercise, and heart disease and stroke risks can be greatly reduced through a healthy diet and regular exercise.  But cancer doesn’t discriminate . . . man, woman, child . . . thin body frame or one who needs to lose weight . . . age, doesn’t matter.  All we can do is our very best to take better care of the one body God gave us so that hopefully, we can reduce our risk of cancer.  Prayers for all of the people who are fighting cancer, along with their families.

NEW SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING FOR LADIES COMING IN NOVEMBER “SLIM & SLENDER”!:  Training:  Semi-Private (max of 5 women/participants) – held on Wednesday’s at 4:00 p.m., starting November 1st.   Description of Training:  This is a non-aerobic semi-private training session for ladies, dedicated to developing long, lean muscles through moderate to slow movements.  The session will be a great combination of Pilates-type exercises and floor work designed to stretch, strengthen and lengthen your muscles.  We will also focus on flexibility and all-over muscle tone.  Your core muscles are targeted specifically – and are also utilized as they work to stabilize your body while performing exercises for back, legs, arms, and just about everything!  You will not only build strength and improve posture, but this session will also help to build confidence.

Level:  SLIM & SLENDER sessions are for ALL levels . . . for beginners, intermediate or advanced fitness enthusiasts, as everyone works at their own pace based on their abilities.  Equipment:  The only thing participants need to bring is a yoga mat and water bottle.  All other equipment will be provided including:  physioballs (large fitness balls), resistance bands and tubing, yoga blocks, light medicine balls, foam rollers, sliders, light dumbbells., etc.   CLICK HERE TO SEE ATTACHED FLYER WITH MORE INFO

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of October: Well we’ve all settled in by now saying good-bye to summer until next year, and we now embrace the fall.  I think fall is a great time to also embrace change.  Just like the leaves change color on the trees, we too can start gradual changes . . . necessary ones.  Don’t think about taking on too much because often times that becomes overwhelming.  But if you started with some simple changes, whether it be a cleaner diet or more “me” time to exercise or meditate/pray, then you are off to a great start.  So let’s not wait until January to make necessary changes that can improve our health and our energy levels.  Let’s map out a plan each week so we have a better chance of succeeding.  You gotta have a plan.  If you have tried to come up with a plan thus far and you don’t feel like you have been very successful, please don’t give up.  We need to re-focus . . . cleaner eating, more exercise, more time dedicated for sleep, time for prayer, and time for getting organized.  You can totally do this.  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
