DON’T MISS IT . . . IT’S NEXT WEEK! !MPACT Training’s 6th Annual Charity/Holiday Vendor Boutique . . . Thursday, November 2nd, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. Start your holiday shopping early while enjoying some hors d’oeuvres, desserts and holiday punch — and enjoy a nice evening out! We will have amazing vendors with items such as: jewelry, scarves & accessories, handbags, home-made Jams by Kim, hand-made marble pens, pencils and other marble and wooden gifts, make-up & perfume, candles & scented sprays, crystal jewelry, children’s books, wine-themed crafts, Lularoe clothing, jewelry made from semi-precious stones, dessert trays, pies from Norz Hill Farm (orders for Thanksgiving) and more!

We only have a handful of spaces left for vendors so if you are interested in reserving a space (single or double), please call Michael: 908-403-7620.
NOVEMBER WEIGHT-LOSS CHALLENGE: This will be a great way to stay accountable through Thanksgiving! Whoever loses the highest percentage of body weight during the length of the contest will not only win a FREE month of Unlimited Trainings, but they will also receive a gift certificate – Dinner for Two at Caffe Piazza – and amazing Italian restaurant in town owned by our good friend Antonio Ruffa. This dinner and a bottle of wine will our winner’s reward! And we plan to do another contest in December to keep everyone on track during the holidays – and prevent that 10 pound weight gain during the holiday season. Weigh-ins for the November Challenge are on October 30th or 31st – so interested participants need to arrange their weigh-in with one of our trainers. We need a minimum of 8-10 participants to get this contest rolling! So who wants IN? There is no cost to participate, as long as you are training with us! To set up your weigh-in, call Michael 908-403-7605.
FREE BLOOD-PRESSURE SCREENINGS FOR ALL OUR CLIENTS:Staying on top of our health is super important. So as much as we want to look our best, it is critical we focus on our inner health too. When I operated Fitness by Hillarie out of my home-gym, there were a few instances where I had to refer a new client to see their doctor before I could start working with them. These were people who “thought” they were healthy, but when I took their blood pressure, it was way out of the normal range – so checking with their physician prior to exercising is always the first step. Do you want to learn a little bit about blood pressure? Systolic blood pressure (the upper number) — indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) — indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats. A healthy blood pressure would be 120/80 . . . and when your blood pressure is above that range, you have pre-hypertension or Type 1 hypertension . . . and this puts you at risk for serious health conditions like stroke and heart disease. And leading a healthy lifestyle with a clean diet and exercise is definitely a step in the right direction – as long as you are cleared to do so. Just let one of our staff members know if you would like a FREE blood pressure screening done, and it is always more accurate to test your blood pressure when you are at rest, not when you just got done with a rigorous workout. We are passionate about health and fitness, and awareness is key.
FREE POST-TURKEY DAY BOOTCAMP! On Black Friday, Nov. 24th, we will be hosting our annual FREE Post-Turkey Day Multi-Level Bootcamp at 8:30 a.m. Adults and teens (ages 15+) are welcome to attend – and you do NOT have to be a registered client at !MPACT. This will be a great way to burn off some of those treats you had on Thanksgiving! If you are new to !MPACT, just arrive a few minutes early to fill out a short registration/waiver form. Gonna be an awesome workout, and we offer variations to all the exercises, so nobody needs to feel intimidated!
SOME CHANGES TO OUR NOVEMBER GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR:CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR NOVEMBER GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR (for adults, teens and kids).

NUTRITION ARTICLE: By Hillarie Scannelli
INTERMITTANT FASTING . . . Does that work to burn fat and lose weight?
ABSOLUTELY! Let me explain how it works. Our bodies are like human calculators – adding up calories as they come in. The body LOVES to store bodyfat as a survival mechanism – so when you intake 3500 calories, it equals one pound. That certainly explains why it is so easy to put on a few pounds while on vacation! So if you are following a sound nutritional plan in an effort to lose weight, a good ballpark for your daily calories would be 1400-1600 calories for a woman and 1600-1800 calories for a man (again, those are estimates). You can also use the method of calculating your daily calories based on your present weight . . . So if you weighted 170 pounds and wanted to lose weight, you would be on a diet consisting of 1700 calories while incorporating exercise. If you weighed 240 pounds, you would be on a diet consisting of 2400 calories – but for optimal results, I always suggest a little lower like 1800-2000 calories – while adding exercise. And as you lose weight, you lower the calories accordingly. In addition to watching your calories and eating balanced meals, throwing in a day or two of intermittent fasting is also a great way to torch up the metabolism. There are a few ways to do that. One way is with clean foods and fasting periods . . . You would go for 18 hours with nothing but water, and that is easy to do if you start counting the hours after you finish dinner on any given evening. So if you finished dinner by 6:00 p.m., you would start counting your fasting period an hour later (7:00 p.m.) — and you would reach 12 hours by 7:00 a.m. the next morning. You would simply drink water until 1:00 p.m. (18 hours of fasting). At that time, you would have a balanced meal – nothing too high in calorie (about 400-500 clean calories – like 4-6 ounces of grilled chicken, a ½ cup of brown rice or quinoa, and a cup of cooked broccoli cooked with a Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil). This meal has a nice balance of proteins, carbs, fiber and healthy fats. And you would be sure to have something low in calories as a mid-afternoon snack (like raw veggies, a piece of fruit, a hard-boiled egg, or a handful of nuts) and then a light dinner. That is ONE way of using intermittent fasting to lose weight. Another way is to do actual “cleanse days” where you fast for 12 hours (say from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m.) – and then the next morning, you would take cleansing supplements every hour as directed to regulate blood sugar levels and prevent muscle breakdown while you are fasting throughout the day. You would complete two consecutive cleanse days. This process cleanses your blood, as well as all your major organs — and helps to reduce visceral fat (fat that is in our abdomen/belly). If you are looking to get healthier, leaner and fit – and you want to learn more about intermittent fasting, just drop me an email with your contact info, and I will give you a call. This could be the change-up your body needs so that you start burning fat and resetting your metabolism. Email me at: [email protected]

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of November: Let’s focus people!! Keep our eye on the prize . . . looking AND FEELING better. Who couldn’t use better energy levels? Who couldn’t use to decrease a little bodyfat? Who wants to look and feel their best? Well maybe we need to re-focus, as our lives can be so hectic in the fall as we head into the holiday season. Can’t believe I am saying that . . . HOLDIAY SEASON!!! But it’s true. So eating cleaner and making time to exercise can be even more of a challenge. Does that mean we give up? Or does it mean we give it our ALL to be diligent throughout the week – saving the cheats for when we are actually at one of the events or parties where we will be exposed to more food and spirits? So don’t skip breakfast – even if it means having a quick and nutritious meal-replacement shake before heading out the door in the morning. Pack healthy, clean snacks for the day (like a hard-boiled egg, an apple, some raw sliced veggies or a handful of nuts in a ziplock baggie). And BRING YOUR LUNCH to take to work or MAKE YOUR LUNCH if you are home during the day. Think of clean, lean proteins like chicken, turkey or fish, and compliment that with a serving of cooked veggies or a big salad with raw veggies. THINK NUTRITION, THINK FIBER, THINK CLEAN! And don’t forget to eat your calories – don’t drink them. Stick with green tea or bottled or filtered water throughout the day. And if you have a nice night out with fun foods, get up the next morning and squeeze in a 30 minute workout, if that is all you have time for. Gotta move more and eat less if we want our bodies to change. 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

TENDER LOVIN GRILL (TLG): If any of you haven’t made your way into the restaurant that is located at the corner of Rt. 206 and Amwell Road, you are really missing out. Not only is the food delicious, but nothing is processed or frozen . . . everything on their menu is freshly made. So I met with the owners of TLG, Steve and Maribeth to talk about implementing an !MPACT Menu – which would be delicious foods that are also calorie-conscious. So if you live or work locally in Hillsborough, you can stop in to check out their specials . . . their regular menu and their !MPACT Menu so you know you are staying on track with your weight-loss plan. We will keep copies of the !MPACT Menu at our front desk so our clients can pick up lunch or dinner on days when they just don’t have time to cook a healthy meal. And Steve & Maribeth will also have copies at their counter. They have awesome food . . . you have to stop in to see them! Lots of their regular menu items as well as their “Specials for the Week” are also super healthy and delicious.
