What Drives YHow hardwork & dedication an impact on me.
CROSSFIT IMPACT
1882 Johns Drive
Glenview, IL 60025
I come from a family of dentists and
physicians, and for a while I assumed
(as did my relatives) that I would fol-
low suit. But when it came time to pick
a career path, medicine wasnt really
calling my name. Then again, neither
was fitness. What I really wanted to do
was run my own business.
Whether Im mopping the floor, or researching the latest
techniques, Ive always taken great pride in my work. Its
one thing to get the job done, but another thing entirely to
get the job done well. I was raised on hard work and dedi-
cation, but by the time I hit my adult years, I realized: its
all about finding what drives you in my case, my family.
I fell into medical consulting through my mother in fact,
she was my first client. I started the company because I
knew my mothers practice had a need for it, and I wanted
to help her out. She was, and is, a great doctor.
I had been following her tutelage for years, so I
was more than qualified for the job. Eventually
my aunt and brother signed on, followed by a slew
of new clients. My business grew, and with it my
love for entrepreneurialism.
Running my own company gave me great pleas-
ure, but it was nothing compared to the pleasureI got from helping my family. And while things
seemed to be moving in t ecessarily the genre.
Then it hit me fitness.
I decided to open CrossFit Impact because it
seemed to be the perfect blend of my two pas-
sions: entrepreneurship and fitness. My coaches
and athletes have since become a second family
How can you kick the pooch and bring on the power
without feeling like youre in an abdominal gulag?
You already know how yoga de-stresses, revitalizes,
and balances your body and mind, but bringing out
your inner pretzel can also twist your core muscles
into shape with outstanding results. Not to mention,
bending like Gumby and Pokey is way more fun than
a hundred crunches. Most importantly, for those of us
sitting a bit more than wed like, professionals agree,
building core strength through yoga helps nurture
posture and build a better back.
How does Yoga do a body good?
Yoga helps to enhance total body
interconnectedness; plug-
ging your core into your
whole musculoskeletal
system. Its one thing
to have rockin abs,
but its a whole other
bag of tricks to get that
sleek, lean, and powerful core
strength. The efficacy of yoga in this has
even been embraced by the Mayo
B.A. Bending

Clinic, which recommends several core exercises
that are basic yoga poses.
Since the yogis of the eastern hemisphere view the
abdominal area as the seat of great physical and
energetic power, special attention is paid to your
belly as the epicenter of each pose. That focus
delves deeper than just the superficial abdominal
muscles; after all, there is more to your core than
a six pack. Poses such as Utpluthih (yup, thats a
word), Navasana, or just a simple plank help to
make your core the envy of the gods!
If youre feeling shy about being on a mat in front
of a dozen or so strangers, awesome resources are
to be found on the net. Kino MacGregor, for instance,
breaks down core-centric practice in an easy to
follow YouTube series (added bonus: its totally
free). Her tutelage emphasizes the fitness aspects
of yoga - and she is but one of literally thousandsadvertising their expertise to the viewing public.
Unfortunately, finding qualified instruction is a bit
hit and miss, so be sure to proceed with caution.

On Friday, a man dressed as Spider-Man allegedly
made off with $6,000 from a tour operator on Hol-
lywood Boulevard, a place known to attract various
costumed people who usually pose for pictures in
exchange for tips.
As a result, Los Angeles Police officers have been
detaining various men dressed as Spidey for ques-
tioning. So far,none have been identified as the thief.
Apparently Spider-man swung into action when hesaw an employee of Starline Tours walking away from
the companys Hollywood Blvd. location and helped
himself to a paper bag filled with the cash. I mean,
obviously because what else would a pretend
super hero do?
Meanwhile, other people who dress up as superhe-
roes including Superman, Batman and Catwoman
have promised to keep their eyes out on the Walk
of Fame in hopes of capturing the rogue Spider-Man,
But just so you know, this isnt the first time a super-
hero on Hollywood Blvd. turned out to be a super
villain.
In February, 2012, a woman dressed up as Catwoman
got into a literal cat fight with an Ozzy Osbourne
impersonator. She reportedly pepper sprayed thefake Ozzy and a Jack Sparrow character.

Crispy Quinoa Bites
Its been said that healthy eating is 90%
preparation and 10% inspiration. Is that not a
saying? Well, now it is! Seriously though, once
you are hungry, you are going to grab what is
convenient. Here is a guide on how to have some
foolproof options at work so the take out menu
doesnt start calling your name come 11:00.
Eating
healthy
cup uncooked quinoa
cup uncooked black rice
2 large eggs
1 cup Vidalia onions, finely
chopped
1 cup dairy-free shredded
mozzarella cheese3 garlic cloves, minced
cup fresh basil, finely chopped
1/3 cup grape tomatoes, diced
tsp. sea salt
tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
2 chives, finely chopped,
for garnish
2 cups of homemade
tomato sauce, for serving
1. Cook quinoa and rice according to package
directions. Prepare muffin pan with nonstick
baking spray.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa and rice
with remaining ingredients, except chives and
pasta sauce; mix well to combine.
4. Transfer quinoa and rice mixture to prepared
muffin pan. Using a tablespoon, fill each muffin
cup to the top, then using a spatula, press down
on the mixture to create a flat surface.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven; set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
Using a teaspoon, gently remove rice and quinoa
snacks from the muffin cups.
6. Transfer to a serving platter; serve with a sprinkle of
fresh chives and a side of tomato sauce for dipping.

Tonights dinner?
How is this not a bigger thing?
At the beginning of the week,
you throw in some salad dress-
ing (always goes at the bottom),some sturdy veggies or add-ons
(Im thinking shredded carrots,
hard boiled eggs and some ham),
put your lettuce on top and seal
your jar. You can make a few at
the beginning of the week and it
should keep fresh for 5 days! Have
fun making the different salads thatdelight your taste buds but Ive
heard that tomatoes and cucumber
tend to get mushy so save those
for just before.
Spider Man Can Weave.
Making burritos for dinner tonight? Throw a few in foil and freeze them to
keep at work! How about chicken? Make some extra and put it in a Ziploc
to add to your salad or some pasta. Snack Stash
Make sure you have a stash of
healthy snacks like instant oatmeal,
Greek yogurt, some of those frozen
burritos, meal-replacement bars,
string cheese, low-fat popcorn and
fruit canned in its own juice.
Prepare Veggies
Prepare veggies to snack on ahead
of time I like to buy the petite
cut baby carrots and split a 1lb bag
between a few Ziplocs so they areperfect snack size! Broccoli, string
beans, cauliflower (unless it would
do things to your bowels that would
leave your coworkers angry at you!)
and zucchini can all be sliced and
prepped the same way. This should
leave you satisfied with a crunchy
snack and not wanting to hit the
vending machines!

Eat your Breakfast!
Start your day better- having breakfast first thing, whether its a protein
shake, eggs and sausage, or cereal- breakfast before heading out will
make sure you dont feel starved by the time your good senses leave
you. It also boosts metabolism and brain power, so its a win-win!
