New! ZONE TRAINING @ IMPACT: 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. Your heart rate is a great way to define and monitor training zones. For example, the low intensity zone or “fat burning zone” is usually defined as 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and the “threshold zone” is said to be 80‑90% of maximum heart rate. And continuing to toggle back and forth between zones is a great way to burn fat and get the most results from your workout. Lastly, this technology emails you right after your workout to tell you exactly how many calories you burned during your workout – and it also tells you how much time you spent in each zone. You are awarded Effort Points for reaching your personalized zones, and prizes are awarded! You can also take this new heart-rate monitor out with you when you train on your own – just put the strap on, and log in via your phone app . . . It will add your morning run or home workout to your IMPACT workouts so you can track your progress for the week. 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?!!!

AND THERE ARE PRIZES! . . . So let us know if you would like to weigh-in on January 3rd, 4th or 5th . . .

The client who loses the highest percentage of body-weight will be our winner. WE WILL CHOOSE ONE MALE AND ONE FEMALE WINNER. And we will post the prizes at the front desk!

Christine Murphy, our certified personal trainer and avid runner will lead this group by teaching some healthy fitness habits and mapping out a plan for success. You do NOT need to be an !MPACT Training client to join this group.

Some of this training will take place at !MPACT, while the rest of it will be out on the road!

HEALTHY RECIPE: Crispy Quinoa Cakes
Crispy quinoa cakes are packed with vegetables like kale, sweet potato, sun-dried tomatoes, and more! Enjoy these as part of breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are great as a side-dish, on top of a salad, or enjoyed all by itself as a snack.
SUPPLEMENT UPDATE: My Latest Discovery: MATCHA TEA POWDER . . . Super Food!
I started adding a ½ teaspoon to my breakfast shake. I read many articles on the benefits of Matcha Tea Powder – and here is some super helpful info – which is one of the reasons I started incorporating it: Antioxidants are the body’s defense agents. They are natural/chemical compounds that prevent aging and chronic diseases. Put simply, the more you have, the better equipped your body is in the fight against infections and disease. Every day, countless people throw away valuable antioxidants and minerals. While seemingly unimaginable, that’s exactly what happens when you brew a cup of green tea because water can only extract a fraction of green teas benefits. The majority actually remains unused, trapped in the tea leaves. In reality, the only way to truly take advantage of green teas full potential is to consume the entire leaf. But that doesn’t mean you need to start eating tea leaves. The simplest solution is to just enjoy a bowl of matcha. Because matcha is straight, stoneground tea leaves, matcha provides you with green teas powerful arsenal of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids in a way no other green tea can.
Amongst its many health benefits, Matcha Tea Powder…
-
Is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg
-
Boosts metabolism and burns calories
-
Detoxifies effectively and naturally
-
Calms the mind and relaxes the body
-
Is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins
-
Enhances mood and aids in concentration
-
Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
-
Aids in preventing disease
-
Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar

CHRISTMAS DINNERS FOR FAMILIES IN NEED & WISH LIST ITEMS FROM AMAZON FOR STEPS TOGETHER BENEFICIARIES: Many thanks to our !MPACT clients who greatly contributed to the wish lists for our Steps Together beneficiaries on Amazon. And we are also so blessed that we connected with other small businesses to bring Christmas joy to two families in need. We put a collection bowl at !MPACT to collect money to buy dinner for two Steps Together families who live in Hillsborough and unfortunately, are home-bound for Christmas since they have a sick child and are unable to spend Christmas with their families. When we reached out to Antonio Ruffa, owner of Caffe Piazza on Rt. 206 in Hillsborough, to ask him to prepare these special meals for these two families, he told me to purchase VISA gift cards for the two families with the money we collected – because he wanted to donate their meals. You just can’t get better than this community. Thank you so much to our !MPACT clients who donated towards the VISA cards we will be giving to the families– and to Antonio for his generous heart. Merry Christmas to the Biviano Koll families, and please know we continue to keep Billy and Chris in in our prayers.

You never know who you might inspire! Thanks for sharing your pics Andrea, and congrats! The second picture you will see is a picture of Andrea in a victory stance with her foot on Michael Scannelli’s chest LOL . . . Andrea and my husband, Michael, had a bet going to see who could lose the highest percentage of body weight during the month of November. Michael did an awesome job, but Andrea’s weight-loss was at a slightly higher percentage – and this is the second time she beat him! So now we have to hang their picture at !MPACT – stating that she beat him twice — haha! Congrats again, Andrea!
CONGRATS TO Missy, who is on my nutritional cleansing team – BIG RESULTS ON THE SCALE, as she is down 92 pounds!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of January: Here we go again – another New Year . . . We don’t intentionally set up goals for the new year knowing we won’t be sticking to a healthy program . . . It’s just that “LIFE” happens and gets in the way. Why do you think we let that happen? Why do we feel our own health and fitness should be put on a back burner? Remember when we are healthier and at our goal weight, we not only feel more energetic and look better . . . But we are actually a better mom or dad, a better co-worker, a better daughter or son, a better friend. When we are truly happy with ourselves, other things just fall into place. So let’s work this year on REALISTIC life style changes that work. Make a commitment to yourself. We are so quick to commit to others – Let’s make this OUR year. So think about coming to see us for training (whether it be with personal training, semi-private training or group training), and we will provide you with clean eating guidelines – and we also stress the importance of dedicating more time for sleep, time for prayer, and time for getting organized so you are productive and happy. Leave the training, nutrition and positive mindset to us! Our certified/degreed trainers will help you reach your goals. 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 – Happy to help: 908-428-7978 –Hillarie

Since Chris is undergoing chemotherapy, it is essential they do all they can to help his compromised immune system, so cleaning out all the duct work was first on the list to reduce the chances of mold, etc. I told George about the Koll family, and he immediately reached out to them to provide them with service, and he picked up the tab.

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.
