Fitness Article by Hillarie Scannelli: #1 Exercise = Squatting
Why do we Squat? Squatting is such a great “full-body” exercise that stimulates your endocrine system. Your body will actually produce its own anabolic hormones, including growth hormone (HGH) and Testosterone. According to IFPA (International Fitness Professionals Association), a recent study showed an increase of 800% of HGH and Testosterone when athletes performed 3 sets of 8 repetitions of squats. Squats are one of the most functional exercises you can perform, and they stimulate muscle hypertrophy in all muscle groups, not just the primary movers you use when squatting. Maybe not all of us are performing squats every week. If you haven’t exercised in a while, I would suggest starting out with a good power-walk, followed by some moderate dumbbell exercises, including squats. And provided you do not have any specific medical or joint condition that would prevent you from doing squats, I think it is an excellent exercise to start incorporating into your weekly routine. For athletes, it’s a MUST . . . for adults, it is an awesome way to get yourself into amazing shape. If you ever experience back pain while squatting, you need to take a step back and ask yourself . . . Are you progressing the weights too quickly? Just because you have good muscle development in your quads and glutes (front of the thighs and buttocks) doesn’t mean you should start stacking on their weight. It is important to warm your muscles up with multiple sets, SLOWLY increasing the weights so that you give the body time to adapt to increased weight. There are a few other reasons you might experience back pain, and that could be something as simple as not having the barbell in the best place. If the bar is too high up towards your neck, it increases the load on your lower back . . . but if you put the bar more towards your scapula (upper/middle back) like a power-lifter might do, the load from the weights is shifted more towards the Gluteal muscles (buttocks) which is far stronger and will decrease the amount of pressure on the lower back. If you ever need help with learning the proper form for squatting, we would be happy to teach you. We love what we do at !MPACT Training, and it is part of our mission to educate people (especially young athletes) on the importance of a safe AND effective squat!
UPCOMING EVENTS
!MPACT TRAINING HEADS TO HILLSBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL TO INSPIRE AND EDUCATE OUR TEENS: On Friday, April 22nd Hillsborough High School is hosting a half-day event for the juniors and seniors as part of a Resource Fair. Since my husband, Michael, and I have been involved with the BoroSafe Program, we learned about how we might contribute to this event. The students will arrive in the gym starting at 7:30 a.m. and the program will conclude at noon. The teaching staff will have a variety of tables set up and will identify eight sources of strength in the community – ranging from healthy activities the students can get involved with — to family support – mentor programs – incorporating spirituality – and even information about medical access. The students will have the opportunity to browse from table to table to learn about the various resources offered in our community. !MPACT Training won’t necessarily be manning a table … but since we were recently recognized as having an “impact” on our youth, Michael and I will be presenting some great info on building self-esteem, along with diet & nutrition tips. We will also be doing some fun exercises with them so they can learn to de-stress – and we also want to empower them with exercises they can do at home. We will also talk to them about taking a more active role in food prep with recipes they can make at home to keep their bodies healthy and energetic. This is about giving back to our community and empowering our youth to be the best they can possibly be. So we are really honored to help, and feel so fortunate our high school is going above and beyond to bring this kind of information to our students.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
WAY TO GO, SHAWN DEVITO! Shawn is looking lean and fit after her 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse where she released 13 pounds, and is loving the increased energy levels too! Shawn is also becoming a part of my team!!!! She was so inspired through her own experience that she has decided to start coaching others. So glad to have you on my team of coaches, Shawn. You are truly an inspiration to so many people – myself included!!
CONGRATS TO ANDY RYAN! He is totally rocking his 30-Day nutritional cleanse – even through Sty. Paddy’s Day!! Andy is not even done with his full 30 days . . . He is only on day 24 and is down 22 pounds already! Keep it going pal. You look great! And I know we feel 10 years younger when we are lighter on the scale.
NICE JOB STEVE & MARIBETH CLARK . . . They took on the 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse — and guess what? . . .Great results! Steve and Maribeth own Tender Lovin Grill, here in Hillsborough so they have plenty of clean, healthy foods at their fingertips . . . However, their long hours and hectic schedules as business owners left them looking for a little help. Steve was hoping for more weight loss – while Maribeth was looking to take off a few pounds and improve her energy levels. Steve lost a total of 18 pounds and Maribeth about 8 . . . and both are going strong on their maintenance plan. Gotta have a plan! Great job guys . . . Such a pleasure to coach!
CHECK OUT THESE PICS! CONGRATS TO Barb and Alvie!!! (Photos BELOW) THESE ARE JUST SOME OF OUR NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING TEAM MATES WITH GREAT SUCCESS! Thank you for sharing your before and after pictures! It all started with saying YES to lifestyle changes and a 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse!
LOOKING TO BUILD CONFIDENCE & ATTRACT ABUNDANCE? I am looking for 3-5 team mates to join my team of nutritional cleansing coaches? You don’t have to be a fitness professional – I will train you! . . . All you need is the right mindset, the desire to live a healthy lifestyle, and have a passion for helping others succeed. The nutritional cleansing company I’ve partnered with not only offers a great compensation plan – but lots of motivation and self-development to those who join this group. I absolutely LOVE being part of this group – so inspiring! My team of coaches consists of regular people – just like you . . . Office Administrators, Engineers, Teachers, Event Planners, Accountants, Fitness Instructors, and Window Salesmen . . . all who are living the life they deserve! Training provided so each coach is set to succeed! I love this quote from MJ Durkin: “In order to attract more great things into your life you have to appreciate the ones you’ve got! Many of you keep focusing on what you don’t have or what you haven’t accomplished yet. That just shuts off the flow of abundance. To take your business to the next level, you have to savor, relish and bask in even the smallest of successes. Most of you are too hard on yourselves!!!! Relax, enjoy, savor and let success find its way to you. If you want “effortless income” then let it be effortless!” Email me if you want to join my team . . . you won’t regret it, and you can devote as little or as much time to this small business as you like: [email protected]

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
April: OK . . . I certainly don’t want anyone to be in “panic” mode with regards to their diet plans, but I just wanted to remind you that April showers bring May flowers, and May brings MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND haha! All kidding aside, it’s time to get busy. If you took the month of April and the Month of May to start following a more “structured” diet plan and started incorporating more exercise, you could definitely achieve your goals so you feel great this summer. If you’ve tried to come up with a winter plan and don’t feel like you were very successful, please don’t give up. Remember, the only way to fail is to quit. We will have no quitters here. Start to think healthy/unprocessed when planning meals, drink lots of water (at least ½ your bodyweight in ounces of water), eat a meal or snack every 3 hours, and lower your calories as the day goes on. Try making lunch your biggest meal, and don’t snack after dinner. Squeeze in some time to work out . . . not just to lose weight, but to keep your body healthy. 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
