HERE IS YOUR JUNE NEWSLETTER:
Fit by Hill Bootcamps!: They are here: watch preview: http://youtu.be/n2Rk04DmmnA STARTING JUNE 7TH! They are here – starting June 7th! I found a wonderful indoor facility to rent so I could start Bootcamps. The location: Sports Physical Therapy – 1 Jill Court in Hillsborough. This place is spacious, bright, clean, and new. And this type of training is going to be a great way to get in shape. I know these bootcamps are early in the morning (Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 6:00 a.m. – 7:00 a.m.), but there is no better way to start your day, and then you don’t have to worry about making excuses later in the day. So many things come up in our busy lives, and our exercise routine can often get put off due to our family obligations or jobs or whatever. Put yourself first by starting FIRST THING IN THE MORNING . . . Let’s do this! If all goes well, I may begin to add more these classes! These bootcamps are for both men and women – and it is also open to teenagers (ages 16 and up). We’ll work hard together (upper body exercises, lower body exercises, mixed with athletic training), but please know there are variations to the exercises so you can go at your own pace and when you need a break, you can jog in place or even march/walk in place. Or if you have any minor specific issues (weak lower back, shoulder pain, etc), there will always be something you can do in place of an exercise that you feel might aggravate your condition. You will need to bring dumbbells, a mat, a water bottle and a towel . . . but most of all bring your energy! To get registration forms contact Hillarie via email or phone (908) 371-0173 or [email protected]
NEW TESTIMONIAL: Thanks Rocky (from North Brunswick, NJ)! Hello…I just want to share my experience – I am currently being trained by Hillarie Scannelli. I lost nearly 100 pounds on my own and was not able to lose much more weight. During my annual doctor’s visit, he told me about the talents of personal trainer, Hillarie Scannelli. I was skeptical at first at the thought of a stranger telling me how to get in shape and lose more weight, so I put it off for a short time. I decided one day to go to Hillarie’s website and after only a few minutes on it, I knew that Hillarie would be an awesome trainer/nutritionist! I was right! After my initial consult session with Hillarie, I was excited and wanted to work out with her immediately. She is energetic, extremely knowledgeable and very encouraging. I was revitalized and had the same focus again as the first day I started my diet! In fact, I lost over 7 pounds the first week of eating CORRECTLY under Hillarie’s instruction. I have lost a total of 36 additional pounds in only 7 sessions/7 weeks with Hillarie! As I told Hillarie, I feel the best I have felt in over 20 years and I look forward to each session I have with her. As a matter of fact, I am disappointed when the hour long session is over; no kidding! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Hillarie Scannelli for you if you are serious about your weight loss and getting healthier. It took me 50 years to get serious about my health and weight and I am very glad to have had the sense to choose Hillarie as my trainer. My 13 year old son is about to meet Hillarie for the first time and I know that after spending some time with her, he will be excited and ready to shed a few pounds and get in shape. Lastly, I am working hard each day to finally look and feel the way I want; Hillarie is always there for me to keep me on track, and for that, I am very grateful. As I tell Hillarie…for my entire life, my body called the shots…now I do, thanks to my strength of will and Hillarie’s talents, guidance and encouragement. – Rocky Falcetano
Healthy Eating Tip: Marketing Deception! Products that “claim” to be healthy and fortified with blueberries are really nothing they claim to be. This is a disturbing video that shows how chemicals replace fresh fruit – it is a “must see”. Thank you, Mel, for sharing this with me: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=7EC06D27B1A945BE85E7DA8483025962
Website Glitch: Last month I had written an article about how ladies in their 40’s and 50’s could fight Mother Nature a bit and still continue to get in shape – despite all the obstacles and barriers associated with decreasing hormones. For some reason, there was a system “glitch” and part of the article was not visible. For some reason the system wasn’t accepting the use of bullet-points . . . and since I used bullet-points to list some supplements that can help with burning fat and speeding up your metabolism, those bullet-points did not appear in my article. I won’t reprint the whole article but would like to include the parts of the article that were not included. So in case you were wondering about those helpful supplements, here they are!
Supplements: I was watching the Dr. Oz show recently, and he talked about some supplements that can help us feel more “balanced” with our hormones and also to help control our appetite/fat burning abilities. I really like that show and normally agree with most things Dr. Oz talks about. You can get these supplements on-line – just “GOOGLE” each item: http://www.drozfans.com/dr-ozs-advice/dr-oz-konjac-fiber-raspberry-ketone-l-carnitine-unworkout-workout/
– KonJac Root Fiber Capsules– helps you feel full and burns fat!
– Raspberry Ketone Capsules – helps burn more body fat!
– L-Carnitine Capsules or Liquid – improves energy levels & helps use more body fat for fuel!
– White Kidney Bean Extract: Prevents carbs from being turned into sugars. If you feel like a carb “junkie”, use this supplement whenever you eat carbs so your body is not able to break carbs down into sugars!
So you are NOT cracking up if you are finding it harder to stay in shape in your 40’s or 50’s, BUT you need to make sure you don’t use this as an excuse to let yourself go. Consider yourself “work in progress” each and every day. We have to continue working (diet and exercise) so that we not only “look” healthy, but that we actually FEEL healthy! Imagine how much worse off we would be if we were not actually “trying”! Feeling your pain, ladies, but I’m, not giving up! Don’t want you to give up either. Let’s do this!
I won the W.I.T.S. Video Contest!: World Instructor Training Schools (the organization where I received my personal training certification) had a contest to find the best trainer video, and Fitness by Hillarie won with 45% of the votes from WITS Alumni! I have free certification renewals for life!! Here’s my video – and thank you to Kristyna Barbella (videographer) for creating it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ61CNEu6zY

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY: This is a great place to go for any type of physical rehab – and boy, are they doing a great job on my lower-back pain! They handle everything from ligament sprains to arthritic pain.

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!
