First, I just want to thank everyone for their amazing support on Sunday, September 27th at the Steeplechase Run/Walk! The outpour of support for the Steps Together Team was just amazing. I am honored to be a part of the Steps Together organization, and it was so exciting to see that out of 884 participants, 524 of them were from Steps Together . . . INCREDIBLE!
GRANT FOR STEPS TOGETHER! A BIG thank you to one of our personal training clients, Lois Cahill, who got the ball rolling at the company where she works in order to get a grant approved for Steps Together. The company, Church & Dwight, provides these grants for local charities as a way to make a difference in our community. We were so excited to hear they chose Steps Together! Both Lois Cahill and Craig Sheehan (also an employee at Church & Dwight – and also an !MPACT Training client) were at the race this past Sunday to present the check to Steps Together for $3,500. It was awesome for them to meet some of the beneficiaries/families of Steps Together, as well as founders Courtney and Mike Newman. Perfect way to start out our race day!! Thank you, Lois Cahill and Craig Sheehan for seeing this through! See them along-side this giant check in the photo below (along with the amazing founders of Steps Together, and the rest of our Steps Together family)!
EDUCATING OUR COMMUNITY: Here is some information we thought we would share in an effort to help you reach your fitness goals. It is an article I wrote about “calories” so you gain an understanding of how to outline our daily diet. If you are not getting the results you want and you are working out regularly, then most likely it is your nutrition that is preventing you from losing those stubborn pounds you are trying to get rid of. Even if you are a healthy eater, you may be eating too many quality calories – which is why you are not reaching your goal. Read on so you can see what I mean . .
Calories: by Hillarie Scannelli
How many are in the foods you eat? How many do you need?
Two things to remember . . . you need to learn how many calories are in the foods you eat, and you need to figure out how many calories your body actually needs each day. For example, if you are a woman (age 54) and you are presently weighing 175 pounds; you only perform light activities/exercise each day – and wanted to lose 1.5 pounds per week, your body would only require 1,738 calories per day. How did I calculate that? Very simply, by logging onto: www.livestrong.com
If you register (it’s free) at Livestrong.com, you will be able to have some great tools right at your fingertips. You simply input your personal information, gender, age, weight, height, etc – and it also asks you to input the type of exercise you participate in each day. I prefer to UNDER-ESTIMATE this by clicking on Light Intensity. Even if our workouts are challenging, we don’t want the system to assume we need a LOT more calories. So estimate low so you get the results you are looking for on the scale. I would also click on the option to lose 2 lbs. per week, as this will give you a more realistic calorie range. This website has so many tools to help you figure out your daily caloric requirements; it counts your calories each day, assists with meal planning, and lots more. It’s fun to browse around and continue to learn.
Let’s start to become accountable: Most people only need between 1400 and 1800 calories in order to lose weight and meet their fitness goals. You would be shocked at how easily those calories add up (for example: an apple has 80 calories, a bagel has about 260 calories, a tablespoon of olive oil on your salad has 100 calories, and 3 oz. chicken breast has 120 calories). And I don’t want anyone becoming obsessed about calories, but we’re never going to get anywhere if we don’t educate ourselves and start to become accountable for the calories we consume. Let’s stay positive and just start to move more and eat less (but it is still important to try to eat about every 2-3 hours . . . a total of 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day). And you’ll also see me making suggestions like having some raw veggies or a cup of soup made with low-sodium, organic chicken or vegetable broth with some veggies in it – and you would have this when you are hungry and it’s not quite time for a meal yet. Perfect for a fall or winter day. Both of these things are healthy, yet there are barely any calories in them. Drink 8 oz. of water before each meal and snack meal – it will make you feel full. All of these little things help. Let’s conquer hunger once and for all. Just learn how to turn the hunger valve OFF!
HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF OUR IMPACT ATHLETES: One of our trainers, Alex Fontanetta, had a great idea that we quickly implemented . . . A Spirit Wall at !MPACT. Look for these athletes and MORE on our new SPIRIT WALL at !MPACT Training. This is a cork board we put up on our wall to display our !MPACT athletes to show how proud we are of their dedication and their ability to recognize that HARD WORK PAYS OFF! Stop in to see our Spirit Wall!! Here are just a few of the ones you will see on the board:
Lauren Alexander and McKenzie Kiernan are both Sophomores at HHS playing JV Field Hockey!! And guess who 2 out of 3 Captains are for this team? You guessed it . . . Lauren and McKenzie!!! Go girls!
Victoria Rivera is a Junior at Hillsborough High School playing Varsity LaCrosse
Brendan Sheehan: Made the Hillsborough Middle School Soccer Team and we couldn’t be more proud of him!
Cameryn Benz, a Senior at Montgomery High School: Varsity Girls Basketball Team — committed to Lehigh!!
Matthew Moore, Sophomore at Hillsborough High School: JV Quarterback . . . Go Matt!
AND THESE ATHLETES ARE JUST TO NAME A FEW!!! We will continue to highlight them in our newsletter, as well as on our SPIRIT WALL at !MPACT Training!
PERSONAL TRAINING IS FOR ATHLETES TOO!: If you have a young athlete (ages 7-18) who needs to set sports specific goals, let our trainers help you reach them with our one-on-one training sessions. Whether your child/teen needs to work on running form to improve their 40-Yard Dash – or needs to work on speed & agility — needs to increase stamina, strength, or their vertical jump, our trainers will help you get there. Our customized plans are based on each client’s specific goals – and we identify their strengths and weaknesses . . . then we get to work! As mentioned in the previous paragraph, athletes who purchase discount 10 or 20-packs of personal training sessions are eligible to come for ONE FREE group training session per week. They would greatly benefit from our Elite Athlete Training, and if they are 15 years or older, they can jump into any bootcamp or weight-training session for adults. What a great way to train in the off-season or to stay conditioned during your regular season! We offer personal training throughout the day – starting early morning, straight through till 9:00 p.m. Just call us to let us know the time frame your child or teen would like to train, and we’ll match that up with our trainer availability. Email Mike at: [email protected]
ATTENTION ALL ATHLETES & ADULT FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS: An Athlete’s Pack is now available . . . We are providing FREE coaching through a nutrition program that will help you gain that competitive edge for sports. This is offered for teen athletes (or adults who are preparing for mud races & marathons, etc.). If you are an athlete who would like to INCREASE LEAN MUSCLE AND DECREASE BODYFAT TO GET LEAN, STRONG AND FAST, then please contact us immediately! Maybe there are some of you who need to gain weight for your sports position . . . Or lose a few pounds to improve your times. This program can help with that as well! The Athlete’s Pak involves using cutting-edge supplements (along with a healthy eating plan that is outlined). The products are safe and effective – and best of all, there are NO artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors. And these products are also soy free – which is perfect for athletes of all ages! Your program also includes products that will keep you fully hydrated, and completely energized! Email us if you are interested in starting this program. The supplements would get shipped directly to your home, and we would be coaching you through your program via phone, text and email. You do not have to be a present !MPACT client training with us to take part in this program. So let’s become accountable and GET RESULTS! Interested athletes should email us at: [email protected]

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!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
I’m not one to rush into the holiday season. In fact, I try so hard to hang on for dear life to the beach days of summer. But the back-to-school routine and football season is always my slap of reality I need to forge ahead into the fall. So October brings about a bit more normalcy than September. We are adjusting to the change in our schedules and trying to get in a groove that works for us. This is just a little reminder . . . a little motivation . . . that when we map out a plan for what we want to accomplish, we have a much better chance of actually accomplishing it! You gotta have a plan. And if you are tired of putting off your fitness and nutrition, think about making yourself a priority. You only get one body, and if you think you don’t have time to exercise or plan better nutrition, think more about how you don’t have time to get sick. If you ever feel like you just need some direction with your fitness and nutrition, drop me an email and maybe we can set up an appointment to get you on track for success: [email protected]
