!MPACT Runners: !MPACT is offering yet another new training program. This one will be on Sunday mornings from 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. starting on April 7th. Are you preparing for a Mud Run, a Tough Mudder or Spartan Race? . . . Maybe you are thinking about entering your first 5K or ½ Marathon? . . . Or maybe you are a high-school athlete and are looking to improve stamina and endurance. Perhaps you are thinking about increasing your cardiovascular activity and would love the guidance from a certified trainer & avid runner. Well have we got a program for you! Introducing !MPACT Runners. The good news is that this running program starts early enough on a Sunday morning so you can still spend the rest of the day with your family or head off to church. Yet 8:00 a.m. is still sleeping in a bit – compared to getting up for the 5:45 a.m. bootcamps we offer every weekday. Please note that during our runs, we will occasionally lessen the pace to a power-walk – but only to catch our breath – or to throw in some surprise exercises along the way. Our run will take about 40-45 minutes, and we will finish off inside our training facility with some core work, foam rolling/conditioning and stretching. This a wonderful way to finish your run – it conditions your joints and ligaments and drastically cuts down on injuries. If you want to get ALL THE DETAILS about this program or get some answers to some frequently asked questions, please click here to go directly to our !MPACT Runners page on our website: https://impacttraining-jersey.com/?page_id=331 And to learn about a 5K you might want to register for, you can also log onto our !MPACT Runners page (link on line above) to get details on the 5K Run/Walk to Curb Hunger on Saturday, June 15th at 9:30 a.m. (Duke Island Park). Scroll to the bottom of the !MPACT Runners’ page for details on this event or how you can register.

HEALTHY “Ziti for the Needy”: As part of our 2013 Pay-It-Forward Mission, !MPACT Training is having a fun event to help the needy. We can all do it together – bring the kids too! We’re working together with S.H.I.P (Samaritan Interim Homeless Program in Somerville, NJ), and we are going to cook multiple trays of baked ziti (a delicious and healthy version from !MPACT Training’s recipe file). The Neshanic Reformed Church on Amwell Road in Hillsborough was gracious enough to allow us the use of their large kitchen so that !MPACT clients can gather and cook together! We’ll bring pots and pans — and we can even bring some snacks & beverages to have while we cook. It will be so much fun! The event will take place on Sunday, April 28th – from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. You can sign up to help us cook – or simply donate any of the items from the list below. If you think taking bootcamp with your fellow !MPACT clients is a lot of fun, wait till we get together in the kitchen. Lots of laughs are a must! Parents will do the cooking and assembling the trays of baked ziti, while kids (ages 5 and up) will assemble individual Ziplock bags that contains a napkin – along with a plastic knife, fork, spoon and a special note of encouragement. We will have the “Healthy Ziti” recipe available at the front desk @ our facility in case you can’t make it on April 28th and you’d like to donate a tray you can make at home. We will be dropping off these trays of food and Ziplock bags with silverware to S.H.I.P., and they will use to feed the homeless. They have a large food truck that travels to various areas in Somerset County every week to help those who are less fortunate. !MPACT Training is honored to become a part of this effort, and I think it is a great way to get the kids involved – helping those in need – creating a simple meal that sometimes we take for granted. Below are the items we are looking to collect at !MPACT, and in parenthesis, we’ve noted when these items can be dropped off:
SHOPPING LIST:
1 lb. packages of lean ground beef or ground turkey (Drop off on April 26th or 27th)

Our latest Client Testimonial: After I read the testimonial in the March newsletter from Inger, it motivated me to share a few thoughts of my own. First and foremost, Inger ROCKS! She’s an inspiration to me just like all the other great people I call friends at !MPACT. Now on to you guys and IMPACT. You are going to cost me allot of money this weekend and I couldn’t be happier. You see next Wednesday I have a business meeting where a suit is the required dress code but……..none of my darn suits fit me anymore. I mean they are literally falling off of me. A good thing I thought to try them on before next Wednesday morning. So I combined this experience with Inger’s testimonial and bingo the words are now flying from my fingertips. The environment you have created and continue to nurture speaks volumes about what you are in this for. Everyone needs to make a buck, but I know in my heart that making money isn’t why you do what you do. This is why you are, and why you will continue to be a success in your chosen field. I’ve known this since the laugh fests in your basement (Hillarie’s former personal training studio). “Sal’s greatest hits” is how I like to remember them. The funny thing is I don’t even think about the working out and sweating when I think about you guys and IMPACT. To be honest, it’s really not why I keep coming back. I keep coming because of the great community of like-minded people that you have created. Just keep doing what you do and people who get it will seek you out. Thanks & Continued Success. — Sal Cuccio
SUPPLEMENT SAFETY: Remember, supplements you purchase on-line or at your local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe are not FDA regulated. Therefore, make sure you do your research before buying anything. If the words “performance” or “energy” are used on the label, please recognize that it may contain ingredients to increase your heart-rate, and that can be very dangerous – especially for young athletes. Most supplements are using ingredients that are much stronger than caffeine so you have to wonder what it is doing to your heart. When I was handling the nutrition for TEST Football Academy’s NFL Scouting Combine athletes, we clearly adhered to a clean eating plan with the use of “basic” supplements like protein drinks. You can make notable changes with the proper diet and use of protein drinks. Here is an article worth reading about a young soldier that died after taking a supplement found at GNC. I always remind people that even if a label says “all natural” or “plant based”, I say “big deal . . . so is marijuana!” haha! All kidding aside, we need to pay more careful attention to what we are putting into our bodies. We only get one! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/17/business/a-soldiers-parents-take-aim-at-gnc-and-a-supplement-maker.html?emc=eta1&_r=0
!MPACT NUTRITION PROGRAM – Now it’s FREE!!!! This was formerly called “Chew-the-Fat” . . . and we had lots of questions from newcomers who weren’t sure if it involved working out . . . so we simplified the name of this program, and we are now offering it FREE (Instead of the $10 drop-in fee). If we want to IMPACT people’s lives and help them make lifestyle changes, we’ve got to put successful plans into place so they can set AND reach their fitness goals. Our new !MPACT Nutrition session will help you do just that. This is not physical training, but rather a 30-minute group nutrition session to help you reach your goals. We are offering this program two times per week: Tuesday mornings from 10:30 – 11:00 a.m. and again on Saturday mornings from 8:30 – 9:00 a.m. You will have the option to “weigh-in” so it will keep you accountable on a weekly basis. You will also receive helpful recipes and weight-loss tips – and will have the opportunity to share your success stories or discuss your food-related obstacles and barriers. This will be a great way to learn from each other so that you keep moving forward towards your weight-loss goals. It is also a wonderful way to learn how to eat properly so that you are successful on your plan – whether you are trying to lose weight or you are a teen trying to gain weight for sports.

FRANKLIN MEDICAL GROUP: Dr. Steven DelMaestro (MD, Internal Medicine) of Hillsborough, NJ was approached to head up Franklin Medical Group – a new medical practice affiliated with Somerset Medical Hospital.

So . . . when is the last time you had a complete physical? Your health is so important – and so is finding a doctor who cares and actually takes the time to get to know you and your health history. Maybe you are presently getting medical care from a practice that is so huge – with so many different doctors that you feel it lacks that personal touch. Make your health a priority: 908-685-2526 (located @ Franklin Commons, 454 Elizabeth Avenue, Suite 210, Somerset, New Jersey).
SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY: This is a great place to go for any type of physical rehab – and boy, are did a great job on my lower-back pain! They handle everything from ligament sprains to arthritic pain. I have always had a strong core and lower back, but I guess my age (47), my strenuous training routine/6 days per week, and the long hours I spend on my feet every day as a trainer can often take a toll on my lower back. Every now and again, it just tightens up and I am in a lot of pain. I heavily rely on the physical therapists at Sports Physical Therapy to get me mobile and pain free again! They have multiple locations, and one of the partners, Jeff Erickson, is a neighbor of mine – great guy! Can’t say enough about what an awesome facility this is!
