DO YOU WANT TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT THIS WINTER AND BE IN BEACH-BODY SHAPE BY SPRING?One of the quickest ways to accomplish that goal is to replace two of your main meals per day with a delicious, nutrient dense, meal replacement shake. Then couple that with 4 “cleansing days” during the month, and you can drastically reduce visceral fat (belly fat). I became a wellness & weight-loss coach with Isagenix 4 years ago, and many of my clients are coached virtually (since they do not live close to Impact Training). I’ve seen them achieve amazing results by doing this! Not only are these shakes super tasty and satisfy your hunger, but they have everything you need (protein, low-glycemic carbs, vitamins, antioxidants, prebiotics and more!). Your body will operate more efficiently and you will reach your goals so much faster! There is also a SOLID maintenance plan to follow because this is NOT a fad diet. If you wish to get on board with this amazing program, just give me a call. The products get shipped directly to your home and you are coached virtually (by me!!) with plenty of hand-holding as needed. You get one body . . . treat it “world class”. Stop stalling! 908-403-7620 #summerbodiesaremadeinthewinter

FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING ABOUT OUR “ZONE” TRAINING:We want to help our clients SET and REACH their fitness goals. For those who are interested in using the latest technology, our trainers are prepared to turn ALL of your workouts into ZONE Training – whether you are coming for personal training, bootcamps, strength training or Elite Athlete Training! This will help you burn fat and build lean muscle so you are fit and energized! This new Zone training method involves using a special heart-rate monitor (chest strap) that not only connects to your cell phone app, but the minute you walk into IMPACT Training, your device connects via Bluetooth – so your name appears in a box on our giant-screen TV. With this technology, you can simply glance at the display to see the zone you are training in during your workout. This cutting-edge technology is completely optional for our clients, but so far everyone seems to want IN! This new system not only displays the percentage of your max heart rate during your entire workout, but it is color-coded so you can easily see whether you are in fat-burning mode or high intensity/conditioning mode. This equipment is so helpful whether your goal is weight-loss –or building stamina/endurance for a fitness race or event. Just speak to Michael at the front desk and he can order your strap – DO NOT ORDER ON-LINE, as we get them for our clients at a discount! We literally get them for 50% off, and we want to pass that savings onto our clients. Once you receive it, you register it on-line with all your personal data – and you will automatically be connected to our facility as soon as you walk in! How cool is this?!!!

IMPACT’S FAVORITE RECIPES!:
Red Lentil Soup with Spinach: This is a great recipe from Skinny.com, and I love that it is protein-enriched and is a meat-free, gluten-free option with just 255 calories per serving . . . YUM!
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
16 ounces (2 1/3 cups) red or yellow lentils (I used red)
8 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 cups (2 oz) baby spinach
Juice of half a lemon
STOVE DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the onions and carrots and sauté until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring.
Add the chopped garlic, turmeric and cumin and continue cooking for 2 – 3 minutes more.
Stir in the lentils, add the broth and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook covered on low for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat.
Toss in parsley, spinach and stir in lemon juice and serve.
INSTANT POT DIRECTIONS:
Press sauté and add the oil to the insert, add the onions and carrots and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring.
Add the chopped garlic, turmeric and cumin and continue cooking for 2 – 3 minutes. Press cancel.
Add the lentils and broth, cover and cook on high pressure 15 minutes.
Tips:
For a thicker soup, puree half of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier texture.
Anytime I convert a stove top recipe to the Instant Pot, use 1/4 cup less broth since there is no evaporation.
CONGRATS to Andrea L.,one of our !MPACT clients who was told by her doctor that she needed to lose weight as she was heading towards stage 2 diabetes. So although Andrea had to go on oral meds to treat early stages of diabetes, she was determined to reduce her belly-fat (also known as visceral fat) – and she started with a 30-Day Nutritional Cleans, clean eating, and training with us regularly. As of last week, Andrea is no longer on oral meds and is also not even considered to be pre-diabetic! That’s amazing! Being proactive with your weight-loss is so critical if your health is at risk. I couldn’t be more proud of you, Andrea . . . and you look fabulous!! Thank you for training with us and for taking the nutrition seriously. You rock, girl!

It’s only February approaching. Summer bodies ARE made in the winter, and we have the rest of the winter to get busy! Please don’t put it off one more week – or the week after.
