Two Words: The Contest
E
ver since we celebrated the
achievements of the Fantastic Four:
Body Age Challenge participants last
December, we’ve been hearing one
question above all others...When is the
next contest? Well, I’m about to tell you.
But before I do, let’s take a moment to
recap the amazing results of the last
contest. We had 30 teams competing for
$12,000 in prizes. The average Body Age
of contestants at the start of the
contest was nearly 47. At the
end, it was less than 43 that’s over 400 years
younger for the group.
Pretty impressive stats.
And while we gave
prizes to the top
teams and
individuals, it would
be fair and accurate
to mention that
nearly every
participant walked
away with several
prizes - better
health, better fitness,
great memories and a
feeling of
accomplishment. It was
not uncommon to hear “this
contest saved my life”, or at
the very least, “changed my
life.” Even more exciting is the
number of people who have stuck with
it - continued training, often with their
Fantastic Four teammates. Many have
taken the contest as a spring board to a
fitter and healthier lifestyle. So to say the
contest was a success would be to
understate its importance several fold. It
was a huge hit.

Ok, What About The Next Contest?
I’ve kept you in suspense long enough.
Our next contest, the Fantastic Four:
Fit 4 Summer Challenge, will kick off on
April 12th. This new challenge will be
based on a series of fitness assessments
that have been selected by our Personal
Trainers to both challenge and inspire
you to be fitter than ever before. We’ve
developed and adapted a new set of
tests to assess your Body Composition,
Cardiovascular fitness, Strength and
Flexibility. Moreover, the new tests are
designed to account for differences in
age and sex, allowing for a level playing
field for all ages and both sexes.
Contestants will, once again, compete
in teams of four, and prizes, again, will
be given to the teams and individuals
showing the greatest percentage of
improvement in their assessment
scores. There will also be a prizes
awarded to the fittest team and
Details, Details...
The contest starts the week of April
12th and will run for 8 weeks with 2
training sessions each week for a total of
16 sessions. The cost will be $600 - the
same as the last two contests - which can
be paid in full or in three installments of
$200 each. There will be information
sessions where you can learn more about
the rules and other parameters of the
contest on March 24th and April1st at
11am and 7pm. If you have a team, or
part of a team, you can sign up together.
If not, you can sign up as an individual
and we will help you find a team. Many
contestants in the past joined this way
and not only had great results, but
met new friends and workout
buddies. So don’t be shy!
If you’re hesitant to get
involved, read the rest
of this newsletter. I’m
sure you’ll be
inspired by the
truly fantastic
results and
experiences the
participants had
in the last
contest. The Fit 4
Summer Challenge
promises to be
more of the same,
so don’t miss out!
Best of Long Island!
As the cover of this issue
makes obvious, for the fourth
straight year we have had the
good fortune to be selected as “Best
of Long Island” by the LI Press. This year,
we were the top vote getter in our
category, which is truly an amazing feat
when you consider the competition.
There are literally hundreds of Gyms on
Long Island, many of which have multiple
locations and many more members - and
therefore potential voters - than we do.
But, apparently, we have the most rabid
fans - our loyal members! So we’d like to
think of this award as being something
that we have won together - the gym and
its members are the Best of Long Island.
So thank you - we could not have done it
without you. And be assured that we will
not be resting on our laurels. We’re more
committed and driven than ever to
deliver the best fitness experience for
the greatest fitness community
anywhere. Yes, we’re going for five
straight!

out for a ZUMBA TONING class on the
summer horizon. Now back to the
bells:
With each KETTLETORCH workout, you
will significantly boost your
cardiovascular conditioning through
power endurance methods, increase
strength, muscle mass and bone
density, become leaner, develop
movement ease and improve dynamic
flexibility.
KETTLETORCH will be swinging through
Fitness Incentive’s doors in June 2010
to help us get a better “handle” on our
precious gym time and finally
incorporate many fitness components
“Strength in an artificial environment
such as the gym does not necessarily
translate to strength in a fight, or when
dancing or on the field in a sport. More
than sports or machines, kettlebell
movements are similar to real life
activities and best prepare you for overall
body conditioning and performance.”
-Adam Cronin, Founder of CBA Health and
Performance Group, COO of KettleBell
Concepts
As a Personal Trainer and Fitness
Instructor whose livelihood is directly
connected to working at the gym, I have
discovered firsthand how the kettlebell's
(KB's) time efficient, whole body
conditioning approach can deliver
optimum results both in AND out of the
gym.
Soon, you will be able to experience the
KB's calorie scorching, strength building
and fat burning benefits yourself in
KETTLETORCH, an innovative, private
small group training program I will be
launching at Fitness Incentive in June
2010. This new 8 session limited
enrollment class will feature proper
kettlebell techniques, whole body power
exercises and core strengthening to fire
up your metabolism, fuel muscle growth,
firm and tone and make your entire form
flow. This synergized workout will
combine the principles of martial arts,
dance and sports performance. You won't
actually need to bust out any dance or
ZUMBA moves (that's another class!), but
you will be able to move better. Look
“Exercise will become
enjoyable again; just as
when you played as a
child.”
into a single exercise session (now if
you can come up with a way to break a
sweat at the gym WITHOUT having to
do or put away extra laundry, you must
let me know).
With KETTLETORCH, say HELLO again to
healthy and delicious carbs with your
stoked up metabolism and release your
worries about weight gain or body fluff.
Having personally lost 50 pounds on the
road to becoming a Fitness Advisor, I
know how critical a comprehensive and
diverse exercise plan is. Along with
healthy yet satisfying nutrition (did I
already mention carbs?), a consistent
exercise plan that includes all of the
above components helped me reach my
fitness goals and continues to lead
many others to long term success (I
have 8 years under my reduced belt
and counting).
Speaking of comprehensive, the KB's
multi-joint movements comprise of all
planes of motion which lead to a more
symmetrical body and aid in injury
prevention. The explosive nature of
some of the KB exercises give you same
benefits as plyometric (jumping moves)
or sports drills without the high impact or
force on the body's joints and ligaments.
Additionally, through the KB, we will
learn how to absorb forces smoothly as
most injuries tend to occur during
deceleration (ex. the landing of a jump).
These benefits will enhance your
machine and free weight workouts,
balance your higher impact activities
such as basketball, soccer, running or
aerobic classes and help you perform
your daily activities with less strain.
Say you can bench press 250 lbs. while
lying on your back at the gym. While
that may be impressive to “THE LADIES”
or “GENTS”, it will not necessarily mean
your legs can take the same 250 lbs.
standing or that you can sustain this load
over your head or even drag or push the
amount of weight across the room. While
there is some strength crossover between
upper and lower body parts, simply
bench pressing or curling an intoxicating
amount will not guarantee that you will
be able to manage similar demands in
real life.
When do you ever lift a perfectly
balanced and symmetrical object (on
both sides of the body) in linear patterns
outside the gym? Have you ever had to
lift a heavy weight with one arm while
perfectly aligned and seated in a comfy,
oversized chair at home- it NEVER
happens!
Everyday situations that require strength
typically involve whole body coordination
and some form of momentum such as in
moving furniture, lifting luggage off an
airport carousel, building a space, or
breaking down cabinets/equipment.
More than likely, your entire body will be
in motion as you run after a child who
has suddenly crossed the street. How
about when you tip toe and reach the
entire length of your skeleton and hair to
quickly take a heavy box of beautifully
engineered designer boots on sale off a
high shelf? I mean, this is real stuff we're
talking here.
Besides, there are the routine tasks of
hauling grocery/gym bags, organizing the
attic or the basement, holding a baby
while grabbing a diaper bag or an older
child's hand. We may find ourselves
swinging a golf club or tennis racquet,
surfing, swimming, doing hands-on
coaching or demonstrating a move on the
field. In between these weekly
activities, we might also have stored
energy for some partner dancing and
UH… a little…YA know what I mean? For
these and other vital life events, we may

Back in the summer of 1993 my sister-inlaw took me to a class in Babylon that she
said I would love! It was a 9pm step class
on a Monday night with Corinne. We had
to go early or we wouldn't get a spot.
Well, by the time the warm up was over
you couldn't even see in the mirrors...I
was hooked. This was my first experience
at the Fitness Incentive and it is one that I
will never forget. When I returned back to
college I got certified and started
teaching right away. The location and size
of Fitness Incentive has certainly changed
but the mission of the classes taught here
is still the same, sharing your passion for
fitness with
others. This is
what keeps us
all coming back!
I was certified
by AFFA and
have been
teaching since
1994. Truth is, I
enjoy teaching
everything!
Getting up there
and asking
people to
challenge
themselves week
by week is what
I love to do. If I
had to choose
my favorite class it would be Jump &
Drill. Working with a small group and
the intensity of the class allows me to
get to know members and really see
the progress with each participant. The
people who take this class come in
with high expectations and always
leave impressing themselves.
The dedication of the members here is
unmatched! Expectations are high and
instructors are always working to keep
members coming back. Each challenges
the other in a way that keeps Fitness
Incentive as one of “Long Island’s
Best”!

I have been an instructor at the Fitness
Incentive for 15 years. Prior to that I
taught at Amritraj Racquet and Health
Club for 10 years. I am also a teacher
in the Sayville School District. I am ACE
and AFFA certified to teach group
fitness classes, and Johnny G certified
to teach spinning. As you can tell by
now, I have been doing this for a long
time. I have actually known Corrine
and Ken Brown for 25 years.
Throughout my life I have been very
physically active, running track and
cheerleading, and taking jazz and
ballet classes. I even participated in
Aerobic competitions (before children).
I actually came in 1st place in the NYS
competition one year. More recently I
have participated in marathons,
triathlons and swimming events.I am
true cardio junkie. I love to sweat.
Anyone who has taken my class can
attest to that. I really love to teach
any kind of class. Right now I teach the
5:10 spin on Monday and Wednesday
mornings (I know, that's EARLY!) and I
teach a boot camp on Wednesday
morning at 6am. The morning classes
are a hoot. The people are great, and
the energy is crazy, believe it or not.
Teaching at the Fitness Incentive has
been so inspiring and rewarding. All of
the instructors are professional and
caring. I have seen so many people
improve their bodies, their eating
habits, and their state of mind. Just
seeing smiling, happy people make my
day. My dad always told me to be the
most positive, motivating person you
know. It's contagious. It is so true.
Love my job!
What I love about
teaching: the
energy, the
accomplishment on
the faces of the
students when they
"get the move", the
feeling I get when
a student comes up
to me after class
and says "I didn't
Chris
think I could do the
whole class, but I
feel great now!"
When the music is right and the class is
on there is nothing better!
Why Fitness Incentive: I've worked at
several places before Fitness Incentive
and while it's been said many times,
there really is no other place like it. The
variety of classes, the level of classes,
the professionalism of the instructors, the
energy that the place gives to each
person who takes the class. It's pretty
amazing! I'm grateful for the opportunity
to be a part of such an awesome
program.

Years Teaching: 16 years
Certified by: AFAA
Q: What is it you love to teach and why?
A: I've always loved teaching my long
standing Monday and Wednesday evening
Body Sculpt classes. I just love the
relaxed atmosphere of the gym at night,
it really gives me a chance to know the
members and track their progress. I'm
always a little surprised to see how many
people show up for an 8pm class, but for
us "Night Owls" it's a perfect end to the
day.
Q: Positive feedback about teaching here
A: Being an F.I. member back in the day
was my inspiration for becoming an
instructor in the first place and I've never
regretted it for a
minute. Even my
worst headache or
my darkest mood
is magically cured
by getting up on
that stage to
teach a class. The
relationships and
connections I've
made here over
the years are also
a nice bonus, but
in the end it's
helping others to
achieve their own
personal best that
is truly the
biggest payoff of
Christine

Ahimsa A·him·sa [uh-him-sah, uh-hing-]
noun Hinduism.
The principle of non-injury to living
beings.
Origin: 187075; < Skt, equiv. to a- not,
without (c. A- 6 ) + hiṁsā injury, akin to
hánti (he) slays, Gk phónos murder
Hinduism

Y
oga, is a discipline dating back more
than 5,000 years. Yoga is a Sanskrit
term meaning Yoking or Union. Yoga
has its roots in Hinduism and is one of the
6 orthodox or principle systems of Indian
Philosophy. There are many classic
definitions of Yoga…what is most
important to remember is that the
practice of Yoga calls for direction. The
practice of Yoga requires that we act and
at the same time, pay attention to our
actions. It also requires that we have
respect for the beliefs, philosophies and
concepts of others. The fact that Yoga
has its roots in Hinduism does not mean
one needs to be Hindu to practice it.
Yoga is universal and has many positive
influences for anyone who desires to
embrace it.
You may have noticed that Yoga is
prevalent in our society. Everywhere you
turn you may see a Yoga studio, or an
advertisement for yoga clothing, or a yoga
video etc. As hinted at above, Yoga is
much more than just physical postures
and tying yourself up into a pretzel…Yoga
is a philosophy. The Asana (or postures)
are just one part of Yoga. The philosophy
another may not. Let's narrow it down to
harming ourselves. Here are some
questions to ask yourself:
of the Eight Limbed Path of Yoga
suggests adherence to certain
observances and restraints. The first
of these being Ahimsa (as defined
above). Personally, I must say, the
philosophy of Yoga has greatly
influenced my life and my training
style. My personal belief in the
system of Yoga (I have practiced Yoga
for over 25 years) has also led me to a
Vegan lifestyle. I have been vegan for
almost 13 years now. Veganism is the
cruelty-free way of life. Vegans do
not eat animals or animal byproducts. Vegans do not wear animal
products. We try not to buy things
that are tested on animals. Animal
by-products are hidden everywhere
(in our anti-freeze, tires, film etc.) so
unless escape to the Wilderness is a
reality…we cannot live completely

Technique, Kettlebell, strength

training and lifestyle coaching
to create a well balanced,
strong, fit body.
animal by-product free…but we make
a conscious effort not to contribute to
human or animal suffering.
Compassion to all humans and all
living creatures is prevalent in a
Vegan lifestyle.
It is important to state that not all
people who practice Yoga are vegan or
even vegetarian. Everyone has a
choice and this choice works for me. I
believe in not harming anyone
physically or emotionally. This
philosophy of non-harming needs to
be applied to ourselves as well as
others. Hmmmm…non-harming to
ourselves? Ask yourself: do you live
a lifestyle that is non-harming…to
yourself and others? To me, that is a
loaded question. What is harm? What
one person perceives as harmful,
I'm so fat, my hair looks horrible etc…
! do you put harmful foods in your body
ex: high fat, high cholesterol
foods…sugar-filled etc…
! do you eat plenty of veggies and fruits?
! do you drink enough water?
! do you consume too many calories?
! do you eat enough calories?
! do you exercise on a regular basis and if
so, do you pay careful attention to your
form and alignment when you exercise so
you can protect your spine and your
joints?
! do you suffer from anxiety?
! do you have anger issues?
! do you know how to breathe properly to
decrease anxiety, stress and anger
! do you need to take a sleep aid?
Engaging and not engaging in some of the
above can be extremely harmful to your
body, your mind…you overall well-being.
So you see…you can be engaging in
harmful behaviors on a daily basis and not
even realize it.
To become truly healthy, mentally and
physically…you must take a deep look at
your lifestyle and the choices you make
every day. Each of us, individually are
responsible for our own selves. If you
want to lose weight, you need to make a
choice and a wise decision to make that
change happen by joining the gym or
hiring a trainer, changing your eating
habits etc. If you want to learn Yoga,
Pilates etc., you need to make that choice
and commit to take classes and/or
sessions. If you want to heal emotional
scars you need to make the choice to see
a therapist and engage in self-help
behaviors. The power to change is within
you and we, the professionals, are here to
help you.

you can be certain of improving, and this
is your own self."

Repeat the movement, perfecting your
form, lowering the bar slower and under

or stretch) then a quick reversal on the
way up (called the positive, concentric,

O
ur new Body Masters Tricep
Extension & Curl Bench is a unique,
free weight bench that allows you to
train both triceps and biceps with comfort
and safety. Here are some ideas on using it
to maximum benefit.
Overhead Tricep Extensions
The purpose of this exercise is to hit all
three triceps brachii heads, especially the
hard to reach long head of the triceps.
Execution: Sit down and start by grasping
an E-Z curl bar with an overhand grip.
Remove the bar from the front pins and sit
back raising the bar overhead. Keeping
your upper arms stationary and elbows
slightly flared out in their most natural
position. Only moving your forearms lower
the bar all the way down in an arch behind
your head. With your arms up and elbows
back 90 degrees stretching the triceps as
much as possible. From the bottom
position, using only your triceps, press the
weight back up, with a quick controlled
extension from the bottom. You want to
flex the long head of the triceps every inch
of the movement while emphasizing a full
range of motion. Bring the bar overhead,
arms just short of lock out at the top. DO
NOT LOCK OUT. There is no need to stop
at the top or bottom of this movement. For
best results use a continuous nonstop
Whatever bench or machine
that you choose the goal is
to focus on a good mind
muscle connection, recruit
as much muscle fiber
possible, and flex the muscle
to create the change.
feel it. Be sure to not just go through
the motions but you must be able to
feel the muscle stretch, fully contract,
and engage every inch of each
repetition.
Finish by carefully placing the bar back
onto the front bar rest. If you go to
absolute failure you may have to set it
down on the back side bar rest of the
bench.
Standing Barbell Curls
The back side bar rest can also be used
as a curl stand to rest the bar when
performing standing barbell curls. is one
the best basic exercise for bicep
strength and development. I often like
to increase the intensity using this
bench by super setting overhead triceps
extensions immediately to standing
barbell curls, performing two of the
most effective exercises back to back.
T.J.'s Take:
I often see many people doing excess
bicep work and just not enough
exercises for triceps. A few rope press
downs and the dip machine is just not
going to cut it. The triceps is 3/4 of
your upper arm. You may never get
complete development unless you
incorporate some type of overhead
extension into your training. This
movement is a direct hit to the lazy longhead of the triceps, that most people
have never even worked directly. This
muscle extends all the way down the back
of your upper arm from your arm pit to
your elbow. This movement will fight the
fat slab on the back of the arms,
tightening them up by forcing the muscle
to work.
I believe free-weights should be the
foundation of your training program. With
free-weights, you are not in a fixed path
of motion like you are with weight
machines; instead you have the freedom and requirement - to control the
movement. Free-weight exercises are
extremely productive but it is also
important to mix different exercises and
not perform the same workouts week
after week. For example, for this weeks
triceps workout you may use the Body
Masters overhead triceps bench, but the
next week you may want to work off of
the new Icarian cable overhead triceps
machine (that has a different feel because
the cable provides the same amount of
tension thoughout the entire movement)
or seated overhead dumbbell extension,
or the Flex Fitness overhead triceps
machine. We have a great variety to
choose from here at FI. Whatever bench
or machine that you choose the goal is to
focus on a good mind muscle connection,
recruit as much muscle fiber possible, and
flex the muscle to create the change.
The overhead triceps extension is a
powerful movement that is capable of
bringing ones arms to life, creating a
beautiful strong and shapely appearance.
By performing the movement properly I
guarantee that you will feel and notice a
difference in just a few workouts. I am
confident that you will get better results
and experience a powerful pump. Good
luck trying to shampoo your hair the next
few days after performing this movement
properly because you will be extremely
sore.
B
e on the lookout for my body part
training series. In the future I am
going to work with groups of people
who would like to learn how to train each
body part the safest and most effective
way. Each lesson we will focus on a
different body part and you will learn a
variety of exercises and how they affect
different areas of the muscles. You will
learn the proper order and how to
execute each movement properly. You will
feel confident on the gym floor and have
the knowledge needed to get the results
you desire. It will be a great learning
experience for anyone who is a part of it.

Rev Your Engine
How to Optimize Your Metabolism
oxygen, produce energy. This is the
energy we need to run all those
processes previously mentioned.
As it turns out, enzymes need to work
in a very narrow range of both
temperature and PH. This is the
reason why we die if our body
temperature becomes too hot or too
cold. Our enzymes become denatured.
They can no longer work. Its the same
principle when you cook food. The
heat from cooking denatures the
proteins. That's why, in order to take
enzymes into our bodies through diet,
we should consume some raw fruits
and vegetables.
M
any people ask me how they can
boost their metabolism. They feel
that, maybe as they have gotten a
little older, they can't eat what they used
to without gaining a few pounds. Even
worse, those extra pounds become
increasingly difficult to lose. They also
feel that they fatigue more easily and
overall have less zest for doing the things
they used to love.
To begin with, What is metabolism?
Metabolism is the process by which the
body converts food and other substances
into energy and byproducts. It is the
engine that runs all functions in our body,
from growth, to digestion and even tissue
repair, just to name a few. If our fuel
burning engine starts to get "gunked up",
all the processes that are vital for living
begin to slow down and function poorly.
But what would cause the engine to have
problems?
There are many reasons, but a huge
factor is the overall health of the
enzymes in your cells. Enzymes are a
special kind of protein that speed up all
metabolic processes in the body. They
break substances down from larger
molecules to smaller molecules. In the
case of digestive enzymes, they break
down food into its building blocks of
proteins, fats and carbohydrates. For
metabolic enzymes, their function is to
break down glucose, and along with
“Stress causes our bodies to
release cortisol which in turn
kills the probiotic bacteria in
our colon. It is also extremely
acidifying. A double whammy.”
the overall state of enzyme health. The
probiotic bacteria that live in our colon,
keep down the number of harmful acid
producing bacteria, fungi and yeast.
Therefore, keeping the colon teaming
with healthy bacteria will also keep the
body PH more alkaline and therefore
help boost our metabolism. A good daily
supplement of these probiotics is
essential for almost everyone due to the
modern lifestyle we all have. These
bacteria, as I have told you so many
times, are easily killed by consuming
sugar, alcohol, pesticide residue,
antibiotics and stress. Yes stress!
T
hat brings me to our final enzyme
killer. Stress causes our bodies to
release cortisol which in turn kills
the probiotic bacteria in our colon. It is
also extremely acidifying. A double
whammy. You know by now what that
does to our enzymes. So in closing,
cutting back on calories is not always
enough when it comes to weight loss.
You need to rev up your metabolism
which requires the optimal function of
your metabolic enzymes. Take care to
make sure you eat enough alkalizing
food and take a probiotic supplement.
Try to cut down on stress with regular
exercise and make some quiet time in
your day. Your enzymes won't let you
down.
...
At the Spa...
Meet Victoria...
The other factor for enzyme health is
the PH of the body. When the bodies
PH becomes more acid the enzymes
begin to function at a less than
optimal levels. This in turn will slow
down the metabolism. As we all know,
our body temperature is mostly the
same every day unless we become ill
with a fever. Our PH is quite another
story. It is constantly changing. It
varies depending on our diet, the
state of health in our colon and our
stress level. Diets high in foods that
are acidifying cause the PH of the
body to lower which results in less
efficient enzymes and metabolism.
High protein diets and processed foods
are extremely acidifying. Other foods
that top the list are artificial
sweeteners and soft drinks. Eating a
diet that is high in fresh fruits and
vegetables will make the PH more
alkaline. This in turn will give those
enzymes their optimum conditions in
which to operate.

All About Bob
Enjoy a Happier Holiday with Some Simple Math
the first few weeks but eventually I
just couldn't 'diet' anymore. I would
toss the plan out the window and start
eating again. I bounced between 340
and 330 for a few months. It was then
I realized that in order for me to be
successful, I had to lose my weight
slowly. This 'dieting' roller coaster does
not work for me. I finally recognized
that I needed to work on more than
just a 'diet' plan with exercise. I began
to realize that the only way I was going
to be a healthy weight was to deal with
the issues that were eating me. Slowly I
started putting together a support
team (counselor, peers, trainer,
nutritionist). I committed to certain
bottom lines: no fast food, stick to my
Bob: before
Bob: now. Over 100 lbs lighter!
I
have battled issues with
my weight since I was a
child. I was “husky kid”
as a child (named after the
pants they sold for kids my
size at Sears). I grew up
and learned to use food as a
coping mechanism. I have
attempted to lose weight
many times trying all kinds
of “diets” such as, Weight
Watchers, Jenny Craig,
Atkins, eating only once a day, eating 6
small (eventually becoming huge) meals a
day, ad infinitum.
Winter 2004, I ran to catch the LIRR.
Sweating profusely and gasping for air, I
knew I had to do something. I thought I
was having a heart attack and it took
about 15 minutes to catch my breath. My
life was out of control; my eating was out
of control. I was caught in a cycle of
eating high calorie, low nutrition meals
and felt as if I could not stop. My norm
became visiting Taco Bell late at night.
I hated who and what I had become and I
desperately needed to make a change. I
was in size 58 pants and was about 390
pounds. I joined Weight Watchers and lost
my typical weight. I was an ideal dieter
able to drop huge amounts of weight in

“Unlike other diet plans that
just tell me what to do Eat Smart

and why. Rae taught me how to
read food labels and more
importantly how to plan balanced
and satisfying meals.”
food plan, journal what I was eating
and my emotions and no late night
binging. If I fell off the wagon, I would
not let it ruin me. I would get back on
track and try to figure out what caused
me to overeat.
In 2005, I joined Fitness Incentive for
the classes. Although I was overweight,
I was familiar with working out.
Typically my workouts were weight
resistance training with no cardio.
After the running for the train incident,
I knew I needed more than weights. I
started out by doing the beginner
classes. It was uncomfortable.
Blending in was not easy- I was the only
guy in the class and a very large one at
that. I remember watching Cor teach
her advanced class and thought that it
looked so fun. So I figured I would give
it a try hoping to muster the endurance
to keep up. I made a decision before
going in that I would just jog in place
when I was fatigued. That was huge
change for me. Cor was so encouraging
and I had so much fun! I was hooked!
and I had so much fun! I was hooked! So
then you could find me in spin classes
with Toni Forman and training with Jenn
DiPalma. Jenn really understood where I
was coming from and where I wanted to
be. She came up with a plan to meet my
fitness goals and helped me overcome my
biggest weaknesses: cardio and core
stability. She is a star on the FI team, she
still has time to encourage and help me.
About 3 years ago, I started doing 5k
walk/runs. My first one I walked. Then
Jenn introduced me to interval training so
I was able to run short distances and walk
to recover. Last summer, I finished my
1st 10k something I never thought
possible.
This winter I participated in the Body Age
Contest. Although I protested, Eileen
Jacinth taught me how to use intervals to
my advantage. She was a great motivator
and, I was proud of our accomplishment
(not just because my team won). During
the contest I decided to focus more on my
'diet' afraid that when the contest was
over I would gain the weight back. So I
decided to Eat Smart and meet with a
nutritionist Rachel.
I was pleasantly surprised by the results.
Unlike other diet plans that just tell me
what to do, she helps me know what I
should do and why. She taught me how to
read food labels and more importantly
how to plan balanced and satisfying
meals. It was easy to understand proper
portion size when I got to hold food
models of pasta, rice, desserts, etc.
Every session I learn something new and it
is personalized to my issues and needs for
that week. Like I said I have tried many
other food plans and the biggest
difference between them and Eat Smart
is that, with Rachel, it is personal and
does not feel like a 'diet' but rather
eating healthy for my life. She is
invested in my success. I also must
acknowledge my home support, Lena,
who is always looking out for my best
interests and works with Rachel on
keeping my meals healthy and in the
correct calorie range.
For the 1st time in 10 years I am less than
300 lbs and wear a size 44 jeans. As my
journey takes me past the 100lb weight
loss mark now I know I can do more. I
don't worry about my weight yo-yoing
anymore and I know running a marathon
and an iron man triathlon are realistic
goals. My success has to do with my
willingness to change, recognize my
problems and seek experts to help me. It
didn't come easy but luckily I did not do it
alone.

once would be amazing. Winning
it four years in a row is, well, a
lot more amazing. It gets you to thinking,
and asking yourself, “what is it that sets us
apart?” We have some notions - ideas,
beliefs, hopes - as to what it might be. But
lets be honest - we’re more than just a
little bit biased. But our inquiring minds
still want to know, and who better to ask
than our members? That’s just what we
did. Here’s a sample of what they had to
say...
For me it's the people that make the gym.
It's my Hartigan, who really is the best;
it's Carol on Thursdays and Sundays yelling
at me, love her, and with Jenny D's crazy
blue eyes - are you going to say no to her?
I can't forget to add a little dose of Cor
yelling "CONTI". Oh yeah, and her fantastic
muffins that my husband and I fight over.
With three children and my husband being
in the restaurant business working 24/7,
we all need something to keep us sane,
you know like "Cheers" where everyone
knows your name. Where else do you have
Cindy and Linda "The bartenders" lining up
shots of wheat grass...it doesn't get better
than that. This is to all my friends who
make FI so special
- Staci Conti xoxo
I workout early mornings. I find all your
employees to be friendly and helpful. I
just want to say that when I see Carmella
first thing as I walk in I will walk away
with a big smile on my face. She is so
happy and funny. Anyone who walks in is
greeted as if they are her best friend and she in genuine! FI has no greater
advocate for health and happiness. Thank
you Carmella!! Love ya!!
- Deb Sardone
I remember the very first class I took with
Corinne when FI was on Grove St. I was
jumping around and yelling like the
maniac that I am and Cor turns around and
tells me "you're gonna fit right in
here"...that was over 25 years ago and
neither of us has changed a bit. This was
then, and continues to be the best gym in
the universe !! - Anonymous
OMG where do I start. Well for starters
incredible owners attract incredible
instructors. I have been a member of a
gym for in excess of 25 years, as well as
having worked as a trainer in a gym for 13
years in my earlier days. I can tell you it is

also the cleanest, most up to date gym
you could find. Also, nowhere that I
know of, can you find more classes and
variety then right here. Anyone that
lives within the area that belongs to
any other gym is just plain missing out!

I’ve been going to Fitness Incentive for
about 5 years now and I must say it's
the gym I've felt the most comfortable
walking into. The atmosphere isn't
ridiculously intimidating due to the
layout and lighting of the gym. You
don't feel exposed and you see all
different shapes and sizes. I can find
classes to work into my schedule at
least a few times a week and there is
always something going on, even if you
don’t participate, it's nice to see a gym
that tries to stay involved with its
members. – Nicole Brocco
The reasons FI is special to me are: Cor
and Ken, you are owners who take the
time to get to know your members. You
have ALWAYS had the best teachers in
all your classes. You have an incredible
selection of personal trainers. The
equipment gives you great variety to
work your body in every way. The place
is clean. Everyone is friendly. It is my
second home and my extended family. I
LOVE FI! Thank you to all the FI staff

belong. One of your original Grove

gym, including NYC! - Anonymous
I have been a member of FI since 1990.
I have been a guest at other gyms, but
there is no comparison to FI! When I
tell people I belong to FI, they always
ask me why I go there since there are
other gyms closer to my home. I tell
them because when I walked in to FI,
everyone makes you feel so welcome,
it's like an extended family. And when I
run into people outside of the gym and
my kids ask, "who was that?", I tell
them my friend from the gym. I would
never go anywhere else. So, THANK
YOU FI! - Anonymous
I love this gym!!! The classes are great,
it’s like a family. It's a comfort to see
familiar faces while working your butt
off :) - Anonymous
Well you've done it again and it's NO
surprise! FI is not only the best gym on
Long Island but in the world!! I have
personally watched FI grow from an
aerobic studio with a mirror on Grove
Place to an innovative state of the art
gym, staffed by friendly and professional
people who genuinely care about the
health of their clients. I cherish every
memory along the way on my 20 year
Fitness Incentive journey, making
wonderful friends and staying fit along
the way. Ken and Corinne, never stop
being who you are and doing the things
that make FI so incredible!
- Rosaria
Not only are the classes and equipment
terrific, but Corrine shows genuine
interest and engages members personally,
always encouraging them through
struggles (big and small) and sharing
celebrations. This positive tone is set
throughout the gym as Fi staff and also
members seem to pay it forward each day.
- Catherine Verdi
FI is like a family. It has changed my life
in such a positive way. The classes are a
lot of fun, especially spinning with Toni.
You get a great workout and the time flies
by. Thanks FI for making your gym such a
wonderful place! - Anonymous
I never felt more amazing then I do when
I leave that gym!!!!! - Anonymous
There are so many reasons why FI is the
best place to be. It's friendly, warm, and
people who work there are always eager
to help you. I have grown with FI since
we started on Grove Place. Doing great
aerobics with Cor, Donna, Kathy and wild
colored leg-warmers. I will always be a
member because this is where I belong.
Thanks,
- Karen Drummond
Congratulations to everyone at FI! I love
the collective comradery between the
staff and members. The continued
concern the trainers have for clients,
even when their sessions are complete.
The energized encouragement I feel from
"have a nice workout" to "good morning's"
tells me its going to be a good day! Then I
work hard to achieve my fitness goals. I
love this place and everyone in it, thank
you and many blessings... - Roseann

My Take on the Fantastic Four Contest
Ray Fasano, Post-Contest
I
t has been several weeks since the
Fantastic 4 contest. The anxiety is
gone but the excitement remains. I
can give an honest perspective on my
experience. The dieting, training, loss of
sleep and sacrifice with which my family
and I dealt gave me the foundation for a
healthy lifestyle that is the result of
participating in the contest.
I entered the contest at my wife,
Margaret's, urging. Margaret has been
training for several years and got herself
into terrific shape after going through the
rigors of having 3 kids. When you see
Margaret you would not believe she has 3
kids. When I started the contest I was 238
lbs. and my cholesterol was 245; high risk
for heart attack. On top of that my 42
inch waist put me at high risk for diabetes
for my age, 39. We have three little ones.
I knew if I continued down the dangerous
path of eating hot dogs, pizza and buffalo
wings on a regular basis, I was headed for
a heart attack big time. The same went
for my regular enjoyment of beer. I love
beer!!! However, the carefree “eat/drink
what you see” had to stop: Meet TJ
Lynch.
Our first team workout was an eye opener.
I was nervous but not intimidated. I was
committed to the contest right from the
outset but TJ gave me the push that I
needed to play to win. I had not touched
EVENTS...
weights in over 12 years. I used to be a
ripped, hard-as-a-rock 171 pounds,
benching 315 and squatting 350. Under
my layers of fat was hidden the 44 inch
chest and 16 inch arms that I blasted in
my twenties. I looked in the mirror and
saw a 39 year old, fat, out of shape
disaster. I was hunched over as my gut
hung over my shorts. I hated what I
saw. TJ walked next to me and said in
my ear, “That is not you.” TJ
commanded that I suck in my gut,
stand tall and maintain my posture. At
that moment, I had no idea the impact
that TJ's intervention had. “That is not
you” is now my mantra. TJ was right.
Today, 10 weeks after the first training
session, I am 205 lbs. with a 35 inch
waist. My cholesterol is now 172. My
resting heart rate is 62. My blood
pressure is 120/80. That is me.
The contest was not easy. I had to give
100% commitment to TJ and the team.
I think the formula was 80% diet, 10%
training and 10% mental commitment.
My diet eliminated white flour, wheat,
alcohol and almost all gluten. I had to
eat at least 185 grams of protein per
day. We worked on carb loading, carb
cycling and supplementation. All
fueled by a gallon and a half of water
per day.
The training was grueling. There were
a couple of sessions when TJ opened
the garbage can lid in anticipation of
me throwing up. There was no let up
in the training. TJ would bark at us “I
am not tired!!!” The intensity of the
training created electricity on the gym
floor. There was a buzz of other
contest participants training on their
own, each person encouraging the
other to push themselves. It was fun.
I was sure that I was going to take first
place. I could not imagine having a
better diet and being more committed
to training. In the end, despite my
amazing results, I did not even place in
the top 25. I was crushed. Today, the
disappointment is gone. I am on my
way to getting ripped and even my abs
are showing up. The contest saved my
life. If it were not for my participation
in the contest and TJ's focus, I would
not have the positive image of myself
that I have today. This is me.

Jen Boyle Takes the Challenge
for her hard work, determination,
diligence, and strength as the powerful
and confident woman that she has come
to be. Congratulations, Jen!
Jen Boyle:
Thinking back to how I felt prior to
working out a lot of words come to
mind, and none of them are positive. I
was overweight and even though that's
just what I was on the outside, it
changed who I was on the inside. It
ruined a lot of happy moments in my
life. Simple things in life like playing on
the playground with my kids, going to
the beach, family vacations, and family
photos. It was especially hard for me to
get ready to go out with my husband all
because of how I felt about myself.
Things that should have made me smile,
didn't.
The Polar Body Age Challenge was a great
success! I was fortunate enough to work
with two teams consisting of eight
distinctively powerful women. Each
woman was unique in her ability to chase
down her personal fitness goal. Each of
my teams worked incredibly hard, but in
the end only one female team could win.
Thankfully, one of my teams won! Chris,
Jen, Kerry, and Jessica were amazed to
learn they had won the contest! It was a
close contest, but they pulled through and
dominated!
Working with Chris, Jen, Kerry, and Jessica
was a great experience for me as a trainer.
It was a privilege to train such dedicated
and determined women. Each of them
brought great energy into every workout,
we trained, we laughed, and we got to
know one another. I was able to catch up
with Jen recently. I asked her to give me
her input and experience regarding her
journey toward her fitness goals as well as
a reflection upon the contest. She had a
great story to share.
Jen Boyle is a beautiful mother of three
amazing children. I commend her for
making time for herself in the midst of a
busy family life. She is one of the most
dedicated women I know. Jen set her mind
to reaching a personal goal of fitness, and
to her surprise she has already surpassed
the goal she set for herself. Remarkable
women sometimes fly humbly below the
radar, but Jen deserves to be recognized

After seeing my husband's results
while training with TJ Lynch, I was
so amazed by what he was able to
accomplish in 3 short months during
the first Fantastic Four Contest.
I really have struggled with my weight
for more than 10 years now, and it has
taken its toll. After seeing my husband's
results while training with TJ Lynch, I
was so amazed by what he was able to
accomplish in 3 short months during the
first Fantastic Four Contest. All the
while, I had been plugging along with
Greg and Nicole Collins
numerous ideas that just never seemed
to pay off. I really had given up. I felt
so defeated and just hopeless.
My husband (Billy Boyle) encouraged me
to start training with TJ. After feeling
the way I did, like not wanting to
frequent "normal" places I really really
did not want to even set foot in the
gym. I was so embarrassed. Here I am,
out of shape, and I am going to try to lift
weights while this "guy" is going to help
me! I already felt pathetic, and I felt
that this experience would be even
worse!
Despite all of my anxiousness, I started
The
Hansen
ClanTJ this past summer. It
training
with
sounds funny, but the hardest part of the
workout for me was holding my head up
and looking at myself in the mirror with
confidence. It wasn't just the half an hour
I spent in the gym, TJ took things a step
further and explained what I needed to do
outside of the gym. He explained
everything I needed to do; what to eat,
how to eat, when to eat, and what to do
in the gym on my own. He always gave
me a reason to pick my head up and look
in the mirror with confidence. Even
though it was my responsibility to make all
of these changes, I would not have done it
if TJ wasn't TJ.
In September, TJ encouraged me to do the
Body Age Challenge. He set me up on a
team with 3 other women led by his wife,
Amy. I was so nervous for so many
different reasons. I really didn't know if I
was capable because all of this was still
new to me. My teammates and Amy made
this such a great experience for me!
Everyone was so excited to do well, and
Amy inspired and motivated each of us.
She was there for each of us every day
with advice and encouragement until the
very end! It wouldn't have been the same
without Amy and such a wonderful team!
Doing the contest made me come to the
gym a lot more. I became more
comfortable, and my kids did too! As
much as it became a part of my life, it
became a part of their lives too. I can
honestly say that Fitness Incentive, TJ,
and Amy are a huge part of our lives now.
They changed us as a family, and now
living healthy is one of our biggest
priorities. My son, 12 cannot wait until he
can start training, my daughter, 9 wants to
be a babysitter in the nursery, and my
other daughter, 4 still looks forward to the
snacks in the café. Of course without Cor,
NONE of this would exist, she has so much
to be proud of yet every chance she gets,
she tries to make you feel proud of
yourself.
"Not everything that is faced can be
changed, but nothing can be changed until
it is faced." -James Baldwin
Yes, I had given up, but then I faced what
needed to be changed about my body that
helped me to be able to face myself again
in the mirror. You don't realize how much
your outside affects your inside. It's a
work in progress, but TJ makes me feel
strong, and Amy makes me feel proud. My
husband makes me feel beautiful, and my
kids make me feel worthy, worthy of this
journey, my journey back to a smile on the

Winning Coed Team:
Trainer Eileen Jacinth, Bob Myers,
Stephen Dmuchowsky, Robert Slayback and
Jacqui Jacinth with Cor
T
he gym saw the conclusion
of our second fitness contest - the
Fantastic Four Polar Body Age
Challenge - back in December of last year.
Our first, the Lean Team Challenge,
concluded in the late spring of last year
and pitted teams against each other with
the goal being to lose body fat while
gaining lean muscle mass. The contest
was a popular success, with the great
majority of participants realizing
extremely positive - and, in some cases,
astonishing - results while making friends
and having fun along the way.
This time, the latest additions to FI's
menu of assessment and training options our new Body Age assessment technology
and Body Age personal training - were
employed to measure progress and
determine the eventual winners.
The challenge began with an initial Body
Age assessment, during which 5 key areas
of fitness were measured: VO2 Max
(cardio capacity), body composition (fat
and lean mass measurements), blood
pressure, strength, and flexibility. The
technology combines the results of these
tests to calculate a contestant's Body Age
- a figure that is a much more accurate
reflection of a person's actual, physical
age (and level of fitness) than the simple
and more familiar chronological age. The
goal of this second contest was precisely
that of our new Body Age services - to
lower one's Body Age as much as possible;
to draw as close as possible to one's
“attainable age” through training, diet,
and other behavior modifications.
In the end, the results obtained by our
16
Polar
Challengers
were no less
spectacular
than those
that the
Lean
Teamers saw!
Roughly 85%
of our
contestants
lowered their
Body Age. The
most
successful saw
reductions of
from 7 to 10
years, and
reductions of 3
to 5 years were
common.
Cheers and
applause (not to mention prize money)
were delivered to our winners at the
Finale Celebration party, and a
splendid time was had by all. Another
popular success!
continuing to train with me, and to
see the progress has been great Chuck has really gotten into the
weight training and it's paying off.
When we began, I said that to start I
wanted to do tricep press-downs and
lat pull-downs. Chuck wasn't
especially familiar with the
terminology or the exercises, but he
took to it right away and he learned
it. This is especially gratifying to me,
that Chuck now knows something he
hadn't before, and that he can carry
the techniques he learned forward
through the rest of his life.
For a different perspective on the
progression of this most recent
competition, this time we went to the
pros: FI's incomparable staff of
personal trainers. I asked them to
share any memorable
accomplishments they could recollect,
and each responded with many - so
many we'd need another newsletter to
fit them all! The trainers were
unanimous in their praise for the
achievements of the teams they
trained, and all declared that, in the
experiences of each and every
contestant, there was something to be
proud of, something inspiring. What
follows is a selection of highlights.
Andrew Manzo is a runner, a cardio
guy who didn't have much weight
training experience. As quickly as the
mid-point Body Age assessment (still 4
weeks to go), he'd already gotten 5
years younger. He'd had a tender
lower back when we began with lat
Joe Skorubski
Chuck Reeves,
27, told me
that after a few
weeks of
training, his
brother said to
him, “Man,
you've got biceps
now!” He'd
achieved a
noticeable
increase in size and definition in a
comparatively short time. He's sn't
Melissa Eschmann, also 27, was just
as impressive. Able to do 30-40 lbs on
the tricep press-down at the start,
after eight weeks she'd more than
doubled her capacity: 80 lbs. That's a
tremendous increase in strength, and,
like Chuck, Melissa had the toned,
shaped look she'd wanted. Also
through the training, they both
reduced their waistlines by an inch
and a half while gaining muscle mass.
pull-downs, and was pulling 50-60 lbs. At
the time of this discussion (Andrew still
trains with me), he pulls 110 lbs.
Chuck, Melissa, and Andrew
have all proven to be perfect
examples of what I like to call
“training for life.”
I'd hoped that, once the contest ended,
they'd continue training. Well, they did,
but they surprised me by insisting that
they continue with me as a team! They'd
become friends during the contest and had
grown accustomed to
training together. They
felt they'd get more
out of training if they
stayed together, which
they have to this day.
Iris Greco and
Chris Moran
Chris: Laura
Cunningham had
suffered a
knee injury
some time before the contest
began, which had the potential
to complicate her contest
experience, adding a kind of
rehab dimension that we, as
trainers, had to be aware of.
Laura got
right into
it and
never
looked
back. By
the end of
the contest,
she'd gotten
8 years
younger and
was stronger
than ever.
That she'd
grown much
stronger
became clear
as early as the
half-way point
of the
Challenge,
when she
completed a
gymnasium rope climb - something
she'd been unable to do before.
Iris: Laura had very little muscle mass
supporting her knees, and there were
a lot of things she couldn't
do without pain. By the end
of the contest, she was able
to do it all: lunges, squats,
and so on, essentially painfree. She really is the
perfect example of
someone who, through the
training, not only lost years
but reached a personal
goal. The contest had a
very positive impact on her life.
As with Laura, virtually every member
of the teams I co-trained saw marked
improvement, both in terms of
lowering their Body Ages, and
achieving the goals they'd established
for themselves when they entered the
contest. Ed McKeown also became a
lot younger as a result of his
participation, though he hadn't
entered with this as his primary goal.
Ed had always been very active, but
had come to realize that because of so
many other demands on his time, he'd
“let himself go.” He determined that
it was time to come in, and get
himself back on track - just as we
announced the Body Age challenge.
Winning Male Team:
Timothy Conlon, Jeff Szabo,
Joseph Lloyd, and Robert McKweon
Trainer (not shown): TJ Lynch
Winning Female Team:
Jennifer Boyle, Kerry Walsh Chris Maioriano
and Trainer Amy Llinas Lynch. Missing: Jessica Laufer
As was the case with a lot of
people, the contest provided
Ed the opportunity - the
well-timed little push - he
felt he needed.
Many see the contests as the perfect
blend of conditions: an affordable means
to begin workouts with a trainer, in a
small group with others in a similar
position.
Ed came to the contest with several
upper body issues. He was unable to do
pushups, had de-conditioned shoulder
muscles and a lot of shoulder pain. Also,
he was so tight and had such poor
flexibility in the upper chest - again, a
sign of muscular weakness - that he was
unable to lie prone with his head resting
on the floor. Ed worked hard throughout
the contest and made great strides in
overcoming these deficiencies. He still
trains with me and continues to improve
and grow stronger.
Gino Fata, an FI member who was no
stranger to the gym, saw the contest as
an opportunity to add to his exercise
repertoire, to modify and refine what he
was doing and “step it up.” He really
responded to the training and working
together with the team.

Gino lost over 30 lbs. and his
body has just completely
changed. Stronger, more
energetic…Gino did really well.
Many participants talk about the
teamwork aspect of the contest as being
an important part of the success and
satisfaction they derived from the
experience. In fact, of the 16
challengers I co-trained (along with Chris
and Nancy Godden), 8 of them have
continued to train after the contest
concluded, together, in the same groups
of four that were established for the
competition.
The team of Diana Doerbecker,
Margaret Fasano, Nancy Tchinnis, and
Teresa Trovato, was so much fun to work
with. They totally bonded and were
really competitive. They got together one
evening during the contest and modified
the tee shirts the gym had distributed to
each contestant; cutting and tailoring
them for a girl's fit and printing their
team name - “Game Over” - on the
backs. They prepped one for me and,
girl's fit and all, one for Chris as well!
All the while this team got leaner and
grew stronger. Each had their own
individual goals when they began, but
they quickly put these aside and focused
on team performance and on winning.
Upon learning at the halfway point that
they were in second place, they turned it
on even more! They did not win, but did
finish among the top teams and
individually were leaders in several
areas. They are still together, working
with me with the same spirit and
determination.
Chris: I definitely noticed that the Body
Age assessments seemed to bring out a
person's competitive nature. The team
was actively driven. Not only were they
seeing and feeling the changes the
training was bringing about, but they
were seeing the data - the Body Age
number itself - which acted as an
additio
nal motivator. The number is
a really obvious, easy-todigest indication of success.
TJ Lynch
I enjoyed observing the
progress the members of
my teams made over the
course of the eight weeks
of the contest - not only
physically, but mentally,
because this is kind of a cornerstone of

complete that last rep, cheering their
teammates on, encouraging them, and
sometimes even chiding them: 'Come on
you...is that all you got?' Whatever it
took, they were willing to try!
but mentally, because this is kind of a
cornerstone of my approach. I want to
ensure that training occurs at both the
physical and mental levels - where the
mind goes, the body will follow. And to
see them respond and improve was
very satisfying.
There was a lot of education, and not
always directly exercise-related. The
ladies at one point taught one of the
fellows a little gym etiquette, handing
him a towel to wipe down the machines
after use. He was very gracious and I'm
happy to say he is still keeping up his
good behavior!
One thing that gave me particular
pleasure was observing the progress of
contestants who trained as couples.
Cosmo and Diane Ferro were one such
husband and wife training on the same
team. They were terrific. 5:00 AM
workouts, and they just came to train.
Ray Fasano was another. Really driven.
Tim Conlon worked a major lifestyle
change over the course of the eight
weeks.
The team of Christine Kerrigan, Robert
Kerrigan, Lello Ryan, and Phil Terrible
made it fun to get up early and train.
Bob's facial expressions and the profuse
sweating of Lello and Phil always made
me feel that as a team, we were on the
right track! Chris had been a member of
FI for years, and always looked to be in
great shape, but to our mutual surprise,
she had more to give.
They all participated in a Tuesday night
Spin class with Sharon Donnelly, and we
also had push-up competitions. These
mini-competitions - contests-withinthe-contest - were terrific motivators.
Then, about halfway through the
contest, I brought in Glen, a friend of
mine who is a motivational speaker. He
addressed the members of my teams,
and they
enjoyed what
he had to say
and I know it
helped them.
Then there was
the team of four
women, some of
whom had never
train
ed a day in their
lives. They are friends to this day,
having bonded during the contest in an
enduring way. They train every Friday.
I was really gratified by the level of
commitment shown by the contestants
on the teams I trained. It's one of the
biggest challenges in training, and
probably the most important factor
contributing to contestants' success.
My intent was for my teams to receive
the best possible results in the eight
weeks of the contest, and based on
what they've told me, and on how
many requested that the training
continue beyond the contest, I'd say
that goal was reached.
Eileen Jacinth
What I enjoyed most about the contest
was the competitiveness it brought out
in my participants; watching so many
of them push themselves beyond what
would, under ordinary circumstances,
be natural limits. My co-ed team
routinely pushed each another to

plan, incorporating more

cumulatively lost almost 100lbs.
Participating in the contest was great
fun and I had the most amazing groups
to train. I saw tremendous dedication
and purpose in how hard everyone
worked and how thoroughly everyone
supported one another. A lot of labor
and a lot of sweat, but also a lot of
laughter and good will. Their smiles
meant everything to me!
Amy Llinas Lynch
Most everyone I trained completed the
contest having achieved one or more of
the fitness goals they
established for
themselves. Jen Boyle
comes to mind in
particular. Jen told me
that she'd been a little
reluctant to participate in
the contest, but in the
end she made up her mind
and just got on with it,
refusing to allow excuses
like scheduling problems - she and her
husband, Bill, who was himself a Polar
Body Age challenger and the winner of
FI's first contest, have three children derail her desire to succeed. Jen
entered the contest with a specific
goal: she wanted to wear sleeveless
tops! And now, she is. She lost several

More Kettlebells!
...continued from page 4
get them in full swing…
In many eastern European marketplaces
in the1800's, unusual “U” shaped
handled devices were used as scale
counterweights. Nicknamed “Giris” in
Russian, farmers and vendors tossed
these kettlebells for fun and
simultaneously exhibited their strength
and agility. More demanding and
technical lifts were taught and passed
on from parents to their children.
As time went on, KB swinging, lifting
and juggling quickly became an amusing
pastime and were regularly featured
during holiday and circus events.
biceps.
According to Lorna Kleidman, America's
first international Master of Kettlebell
Sport and Two-time Kettlebell Sport
Champion and Fitness Author:
“Kettlebells provide complete threedimensional, whole body movements.
You will sculpt every muscle, working
from the deep (skeletal) to the
superficial (what you see in the mirror)
all while you enjoy the challenging, free
flowing movements this unique tool
allows. Exercise will become enjoyable
again; just as when you played as a
child.”
With KETTLETORCH, you can expect to
receive these ample rewards along with a
decrease in your blood pressure and
lower resting heart rate. You will be able
to reduce your overall weekly exercise
time while surpassing your previous goals.
Here's to spending more time away from
the gym relishing life! Remember, I said
comprehensive and “consistent” workouts
lead to long term success- I never said
CONSTANT, as in “4 hours every day.”
By the way, your Body Age will most
certainly drop with KETTLETORCH, quite
possibly to levels that will require
parental supervision. After taking
KETTLETORCH, don't be surprised if you
hear the following random directives: “I'll
need to see some ID for that beer, Young
Man” or “Miss, I must verify that you can
operate this vehicle alone, What is your
guardian's home or work number?”
Okay, so maybe your Body Age will
actually translate to “HOT MOMMA” or
“WHO”S YOUR (YOUNG) DADDY?” I'll take
HOT anything and be very happy.
Before we rock and rumble in June's
KETTLETORCH, let's see where KB's came
from and what we can expect once we
22
Soon KB's were acknowledged for its
ability to condition the many men and
women who worked as laborers in the
“Everyday situations that require
strength typically involve whole
body coordination and some form
of momentum such as in moving
furniture, lifting luggage off an
airport carousel, building a space,
or breaking down cabinets/
equipment.”
USSR. Since this unique exercise tool
was durable, economical, mobile,
engaging and versatile, it was well
received and highly utilized by the
general population.
Capitalizing on its popularity, the first
Kettlebell Commission was formed in
the country in 1984. The commission's
primary goals were to keep its people
fit, increase labor productivity and
decrease healthcare costs. They
succeeded by enforcing mandatory KB
exercise for the masses. Now, there's
an idea…
Weightlifting Coach and co-founder and
COO of one of the first US companies to
research and develop literature and
courses around the myriad benefits of
KB's, uncovered that “kettlebells require
greater strength because of the
additional lever (the u shape part of the
kettlebell). It demands that the
neuromuscular system increase overall
force output, control tension and
momentum created by the kettlebell's
signature “swing.” Kettlebells activate
and stabilize primary and opposing
muscles at the same time so movements
flow and create synergy and coordination
of the whole body. Learning the correct
kettlebell techniques call for more
demanding skills than other machines or
dumbbells that have less inertial
constraints.”
Since the center of gravity in the KB is
dynamic- it changes through the motionyour body must constantly adjust to the
weight changes so KB's activate more
muscles per unit (with an emphasis on
BOTH slow and fast twitch muscle fibers).
These important training distinctions will
lead to greater strength adaptations,
lean body mass (muscle) development
and metabolic improvements. You will
also find that performing traditional
two-dimensional movements (bicep
curls, squats) with the KB will be more
demanding and lead to greater results
due to the kettlebell's displaced center
of gravity,
Please note that simply swinging the KB
without learning how to sequentially
summon your body's strength through a
series of movements or executing the
required quality of movement at the
right time (smooth, circular, vertical or
explosive) will not yield the same results
as someone who is appropriately trained
in the kettlebell techniques.
Understanding how to coordinate handeye movements, creating a smooth flow
or blast, learning various holding and
lifting techniques and how to absorb
forces is a set of skills that does not
come overnight. KETTLETORCH, like any
new sport or dance form, requires
adequate study, practice and guidance in
a private, small group setting to ensure
safety and optimum results. Enroll in this
upcoming full body blast workout so you
can heat up the flames this summer.
KB's, in turn, became the designated
conditioning tool for the Russian Special
Forces, producing soldiers who had
tremendous power and stamina. The
Soviet Olympic Weightlifting Team,
whom for decades dominated the sport,
knew the magic of the KB's all along,
due to the extensive use of KB's in their
training regimen.

A Pain That I’m Used To
Ignore Lower Back Pain At Your Peril
• Spinal stenosis. This narrowing of
the nerve openings, either around
the spinal cord or nerve roots, can
cause symptoms similar to a pinched
nerve. Patients with spinal stenosis
can have trouble walking; sitting
down or bending forward usually
relieves this difficulty. Other
symptoms include aching or
heaviness in the back and legs.
• Tendon, ligament and soft tissue
pain. This is localized pain when
people stretch an area or when they
overuse muscles. A common
symptom is muscle tenderness.
W
hen it comes to seeking
treatment for low back pain,
our nation is notorious for
neglect. In fact, while 80 percent of
Americans will experience back pain
sometime during their lives, most won't
do anything about their symptoms. But
back pain is a problem you shouldn't
ignore. You may not realize this, but
left untreated, low back pain can cause
changes in your posture, gait and
bearing that may worsen your problem
or cause new ones. In addition, not all
back pain is caused by muscle or nerve
conditions. It can be an early warning
sign for a more serious condition. The
following is a list of common problems
associated with low back pain:
• Radiculopathy. This is a pinched
nerve, usually caused from a herniated
or slipped disk. Symptoms include
shooting pain down the leg that people
often describe as an electrical feeling.
• Myofascial pain. This generally is an
aching pain in muscles that tends to
come from poor posture or sitting at a
computer. With myofascial back pain,
you can grow sore in different parts of
your body, such as the back and legs.
Many people also report having
difficulty sleeping or feeling restored
from sleep.
24
“...back pain is a problem
you shouldn't ignore. You may
not realize this, but left
untreated, low back pain can
cause changes in your posture,
gait and bearing that may
worsen your problem or cause
new ones.”
• Nonspinal causes of low back pain.
This pain can imitate a back injury,
but originate from another cause.
Appendicitis, kidney disease, uterine
disorders and urinary tract infections
are a few examples of problems that
can refer pain to the back.
Treatment Options
Once a doctor or Physical Therapist
has evaluated your symptoms, you'll
most likely go through three phases
of rehabilitation. During the acute
phase, your doctor/Therapist will
make a diagnosis and develop a
treatment plan accordingly. To
decrease pain, they'll often include
therapeutic modalities such as
diathermy, ultrasound and TENS in
their protocol. Diathermy and
ultrasound are heat modalities that
warm tissues and help relax muscles.
They also decrease pain impulse
rates, which results in pain-relieving
effects. TENS, also known as
transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation, applies an electrical
current to the affected nerves, which
blocks conductions and relieves pain.
Massage, medications such as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
corsets, superficial heat and ice packs
are also common treatment aids for
low back pain. In the second stage the recovery phase of treatment professionals will help you develop a
stretching program to help realign your
aching body parts. The following
exercises can help:
• Chair exercise. Sit in a chair and lean
forward until you feel pain; breathe
out and slowly lean farther, stretching
muscles further.
• Knee pulls. Sit in a straight-backed
chair. Lift your right knee and clasp it
in both hands, pulling it as close to
your chest as possible. Exhale deeply
as you feel tension or mild pain in your
back. Do the same with your left leg.
Repeat this stretch with each leg
several times.
• Pelvic jack. Sit up straight in a chair
with your back against the chair. Next,
allow your pelvis to roll back as if you
were going to slouch into the chair.
Hold that position for a few seconds
and then come back up into the
straight position with a normal lumbar
curve.
As you continue these stretching
exercises, your back will begin to feel
stronger. This is when you enter the
third phase of rehab treatment, the
maintenance phase. The goal at this
stage is to minimize recurrence of your
original problem and prevent further
injury. To do this, health professionals
often will prescribe continued
strengthening with professional such a
those you find here at Fitness Incentive
that will help to continue
strengthening back and core muscles.

unique and every treatment protocol is

Passion Fruit
The Spirit That Makes FI “My Gym”
be loved on by Linda..Janet…Ann and
their many other “second-moms”.
Even before there was a single best of
Long Island award, we already knew it Fitness Incentive is the BEST! Where
else can you go and come across so
many members that have developed
some of their greatest friendships while
finishing their last squat in a sculpt
class. The Fitness Incentive is where
you find a group of people who will
effortlessly and genuinely share any
piece of equipment on the main floor.
H
ave you ever stopped to think
…'how in the midst of winter the
snow falls from the heavens… just
as rain falls in the spring… and both serve
to water the earth..they cause it bud and
flourish…so in return it yields seed for the
sower and essentially bread for the eater.'
When I consider the many reasons that the
Fitness Incentive has been named Best
Gym on Long Island my thoughts are filled
with this idea.
Twenty six years ago a seed was planted by
a woman with a passion for giving to
others while doing what she loves. Twenty
six years ago a small handful of individuals
who are still members today took their
first steps towards a fitter, healthier and
more satisfying lifestyle, placing their
trust in a woman who 'happened' to open a
gym in the Village of Babylon. And over
the years with each new member at the
'gym' the seed that was planted began to
grow, eventually reaping a harvest.
You see, the first seed was planted with
passion and as each new member entered
the door, a new passion, a new drive, a
new level of commitment brought more
life, more excitement and focus to the art
of exercise. Yet, the art of exercise (with
each passing year) seems to have taken
root in many towns across Long Island.
Yet, it is OUR gym that is the BEST!!
Fitness Incentive - 'my gym' - is filled with
members and employees with a heart
unlike other places. It is 'my gym' that’s
always buzzing with excitement as friends
get together to burn up their legs in a spin
class.. a mother and daughter train hard
and accomplish yet one more pull-up. It's
‘my gym’ that kids run into the nursery to
Fitness Incentive 'my gym' - is filled with
members and employees
with a heart unlike
other places.
The idea that every age, every size and
every 'mood' is greeted by a desk staff
willing to go to great lengths to meet
your needs and answer your questions
with a smile.
Perhaps my favorite is that when I look
around I witness the harvest now
yielding tremendous fruit. The fruit we
yield at the Fitness Incentive is
incredibly nourishing; not only are our
bodies satisfied, but our spirits are
lifted by a word of genuine
encouragement, our minds are renewed
as we 'give it one more try' to be the
very best we can be.
Twenty six years ago the a small seed
was planted. And now, it has flourished
and grown. It has and will continue to
reap a harvest of passionate, sincere
and heartfelt individuals, staff and
members alike, who together make
Fitness Incentive the Best Gym on Long
Island, for 2010 and beyond.
Congratulations and cheers to members
and employees, alike, and never
forget…the best is yet to come!!

!concentrate on them
! A Body that “thinks” for itself
! A healthy body, inside and out
! Centered body alignment
! Healthier life-style choices
! Better breathing and overall health
The Hybrid system combines my
expertise in the areas of Pilates, Yoga,
Alexander Technique, Kettlebell,
strength (weight training),
cardiovascular training and lifestyle
coaching to create a well balanced,
strong, fit body and all around healthier
life-style choices. This system of
training the body from the inside out
and treating the body and mind as one
results in a level of strength and control
you cannot achieve with any other
workout or training system. Breathing
exercises are taught for detoxification
and improvement of metabolism. There
is a strong focus on spine and core
stabilization with fluid, precise
movement. All movements are done
with efficiency so there is no wasted
energy during your personalized,
custom training sessions. Strengthening
the muscles around the joints and
taking stress off the joints is a main
focus as well. Imbalances in the feet,
ankles, knees, hips etc., are addressed
and worked on. Bringing each individual
to the most balanced, centered place
their body is capable of. Awareness is
stressed so that each person takes the
tools of alignment and function with
them and it becomes a part of their
Daily function. This is not just going to
the gym, hitting the machines for your
allotted amount of time and
leaving…you take EVERYTHING you learn
with you and it becomes part of your
living and your everyday awareness.
Each client is individually assessed with
their goals outlined. Goals are achieved
by combining private or semi-private
training sessions along with
assignments, (direction of classes to
take and workouts designed for each
person to do on their own) and healthy
living counseling among other methods.
Small group Hybrid Training is also
available.
If you want to take control of your life
and bring your body and mind into
balance…The Hybrid Training Method is
just what you need!
Hybrid training will be available this
Spring. Email me at:
[email protected] for more
information and to schedule your Hybrid
training sessions.

Just Fantastic
dress sizes.
Virtually every challenger has continued
to train in the aftermath of the contest
itself.
The top-finishing women's
team overall just recently
approached me with the idea
of reuniting…they just
missed each other so much!
Kerry Walsh was a member of this team.
She became a contestant in part as a way
to help her prepare for her upcoming
wedding. She had never worked out a day
in her life to that point. She saw fantastic
results as a challenger and is still working
toward her wedding day goal. I think she
really surprised herself - in fact I think
this whole team was shocked when they
learned they'd won. We'd have team
meetings and I'd tell them, “Alright girls,
you're right there…just push a little
harder…” and they did. They'd come in on
weekends, take extra classes…they truly
earned their success.
Jessica Laufer and Chris Maioriano, the
remaining members of this team, paired
up and came in for additional workouts on
their own. And this was something we saw
again and again. Everyone was just so on
fire and excited. They would actually
come to the gym on their own and work
out using what they'd learned during the
scheduled workouts. In it to win it,
though they didn't necessarily begin that
way. Virtually everyone had specific goals
at the outset: to look a certain way on
their 40th birthday; to prepare for a
wedding, a triathlon. Most saw the
contest in these sorts of terms - as a
means of jump-starting the
commencement of an exercise regimen,
and on these levels they definitely
succeeded. But there came a time,
probably just after the midpoint
assessments and they'd gotten the ball
rolling, that they saw they had a real
shot…a real chance of winning. This
pushed them further along, really drove
them.
I'd seen a lot of the success that evolves
from the small-group training model
before. In fact, I'd conducted contests
earlier in my career among my corporate
clients, and a repeated pattern emerged:
someone would be down in the dumps and
struggling, and her teammates would just
lift her right up. The mutual support was
wonderful to see. It nearly always o
developed, both in terms of workout
motivation and on a more basic,
emotional level. This training model
also helps people get past another
barrier: the intimidation factor that
some experience when they consider
the prospect of gym membership and
visitation. Because you are a member
of a group or team, you feel that much
less isolated and visible; you are far
less likely to believe that you look
awkward or foolish, because, after all,
everyone else is doing exactly what you
are. It imparts a comfort level along
with the motivation and support.
Combined, these factors allow many
people to approach the training
process a lot more confidently. It
means that as a trainer, you can reach
out to a broader spectrum of people
than you might otherwise be able to
do.
Chris Hartigan
I think I actually
preferred the
configuration of
the Polar Body
Age Challenge
over our first
contest, the Lean
Team Challenge,
because for me
this one seemed
better able to
bring about
permanent,
positive lifestyle
changes in the contestants. Great
examples of this are two of the
challengers on the team I trained, who
happened to be sisters: Jeanette
Dillon and Sara Dawson. They both
achieved a tremendous amount of
success in this contest - both during
and upon it's completion, but also right
up through the present. It's remarkable
because they began with such different
approaches to exercise. Jeanette had
entered as an experienced exerciser,
with extensive Pilates and yoga
training to her credit. She has added
strength, cardio, and even some
additional flexibility work to her
repertoire.
Sara, meanwhile, had
virtually no gym
experience. She has
changed nearly everything
about her approach to
health and fitness.
So both the veteran, who, with all her
experience, wouldn't necessarily seem
like someone needing to modify or
expand upon what she was doing, and the
rookie, who was basically a kind of clean
slate, learned, changed, and grew. It
was very satisfying to me to be able to
provide guidance and contribute to this
transformation.
After the first assessment, Tricia Goumas
- a dedicated runner - found that her
Body Age was significantly lower than her
calendar age. You might think that she
stood to gain very little from the
training. But no…the benefits of the
training and the knowledge learned from
the assessments proved to be just as
transformative for her as they did for
those who learned, after their first
assessments, that their Body Ages were
older than their calendar ages. Tricia was
able to trim an additional two years from
her Body Age! Slight adjustments to her
routine - particularly in the areas of
strength and flexibility - made a major
difference with her. She also takes many
more classes now, which, in addition to
all the other benefits they provide, yield
a different cardio experience. The
information learned through the Body Age
assessments showed even the very fit
areas of their general levels of
conditioning that they could improve
upon.
I liked that this contest and the
assessments revealed specifics about
conditioning that could be addressed but
were not all about weight. You could
improve here and there, lower your Body
Age, and do it without the burden of
obsessing about the scale all the time.
...
ne thing that each and every
trainer said to me during our talks
was that they felt a little sensitive
about discussing the successes of
individual contestants they trained,
though not because of any privacy issue
or some similar concern. They worried
that those contestants not mentioned
might feel overlooked. This was because,
as they went to great lengths to impress
upon me, they had success stories for
virtually every contestant they trained.
The friendships and the mutual support
these contestants developed served only
to render their physical achievements all
the sweeter, for having been attained
under such positive circumstances:
support and encouragement,
camaraderie, motivation, affirmation.
Congratulations are hugely in order,
extended to each and every Polar Body
Age challenger. Kudos to you all!

Mondays @ 7pm: Cardio TNT!
global warming? Maybe. But at FI,
we’ve been doing our best to promote a
different kind of climate change in the
form of Hot Yoga. This is our own home
grown “house brand” of Hot Yoga - “Hot
Fusion” - and it has been getting a very
warm response from practitioners. Hot
Fusion Yoga is a limited enrollment
program open to both members and
non-members. Classes are available
Mondays at 9am, Wednesdays at 12pm
and Thursdays 6:30pm Call or stop by
the desk to register!
No Shorts? No Problem...
there! Let’s see, there’s the new Icarian
lateral raise, the Body Masters plateloaded shoulder press, Body Masters tricep
extension & curl bench, Icarian overhead
cable tricep machine, a few new weight
trees and attachment racks...and that’s
just off the top of my head. We’ve also
removed and consolidated equipment
storage, which allowed us to rearrange the
floor and open more space for still more
equipment. On top of that, we mirrored
more wall space so that you can keep an
eye on your form while you workout - no
matter where you’re standing. And, believe
it or not...more is coming! There is no
stopping TJ!
How Old Are You Now?
Even if you missed the Fantastic Four Body
Age Challenge, you can still achieve similar
results. How? With Body Age Assessment
and Body Age Personal Training. Body Age
assessment is an eye opener for many
people. You’ll not only learn your Body Age
- how old you really are - but also gain
invaluable insights into the state of your
health and fitness. But Body Age is more
than a wake-up call - it’s a plan of attack!
Your Body Age assessment provides you
with a game plan to optimize your health
and fitness and get yourself looking and
feeling years younger.
For those who want more, there’s Body Age
Personal Training. Like the Body Age
contest, Body Age Training uses your Body
Age assessment as a starting point. From
there you and your Body Age certified
trainer work together to help you shed
years and get you in the best shape of your
life. It’s a comprehensive approach to
fitness that led several Body Age
contestants to declare that it had literally
saved their lives. It’s an amazing program,
and you don’t have to wait for the next
contest to benefit from it. Stop by the desk
to schedule a free consultation.
Climate Change
It’s been pretty cool if not outright cold
across most of the country. So much for
We’re not exactly expecting men to
become big shoppers at the Boutique,
but we do want to remind them (and
those that love them) that we now
offer FI-logo brand shorts and technical
tops for men. Which is handy, especially
if you happened to have forgotten
yours. So no shorts? no shirt?...No
Problem!
Speaking of Manly Men...
There’s apparently a new trend afoot at
ol’ FI - Men in classes. Don’t believe
me, check out the photo (above left)!
Cor confirms that her Monday 7pm
Cardio TNT - a ½ hour intense
rebounding class, has become a proving
ground for manliest men in the gym.
Are you up for the challenge?
Staying In Touch
Many of your fellow members have
signed up to be Fans of Fitness
Incentive on Facebook. It’s a fun and
convenient way to stay up-to-theminute with everything FI, including
upcoming events, weather-related
closings (lets hope those are over for
now!) and inspirational quotes. We’ve
also recently added “Blackberry
friendly” version of our class schedule,
so you can now access (and read!) the
FI class schedule whenever and
wherever you happen to be. The
schedule can be accessed through this
link:http://www.fitnessincentive.com/
PDA_Sched.html.
Towers of Power are Coming...
Pilates Junkies - we hear you! We’ve
just recently purchased two Pilates
Reformer Towers that, along with the
recently added Arc Barrel will open up
even more options for our Pilates
lovers. Be on the lookout - and enjoy!
Spa-cation
Yes, spring has sprung and all that, but
lets be honest - spring on Long Island is
no picnic. It can be cold and damp and
almost as miserable as winter. As we
struggle to get though the next few
weeks, let me make a suggestion consider a spa-cation, right here at
Fitness Incentive. Or, more precisely,
Incentives Spa. If you’ve never ventured
Silvana & Chris get busy
into the Spa, trust me, you will be
pleasantly surprised. It’s the yin to FI’s
yang. Where the gym is a whirlwind of
frenetic activity, the Spa is a placid
escape from all things that trouble the
mortal mind. It can be as simple as a
pedicure, as pampered as a facial, or as
indulgent as a massage. Whatever you
fancy. It’s time well spent and a release
well earned. Enjoy!
New Faces
The FI family
continues to
grow. We’d like
to introduce
you to three of
our newest
employees:
Dana
Mancini,(left)
who is not only
working the
front desk,
but, as the
winner of our
“Find the Next
Superstar
Instructor” program, is also instructing
Group Ex classes. Patty
Zebersky (right), who is
joining our highly qualified
group of Personal Trainers ,
and Danielle Tinnerello, who
is following in the footsteps of
her Mom and Aunt, and has
joined our nursery staff.
Welcome!
Picture Perfect
Speaking of training, you have
probably noticed the near lifesize photos of the FI Personal
Trainers adorning the glass
wall of the big aerobic room.
They are a handsome bunch,
our trainers, made all the
more so by the talents of
Susan Eckert of LI Art Photography (see
page 26). Thanks Susan!
Apologies...
For those of you who use and love the
Expresso Bikes, this has been a frustrating
couple of months. Despite our best
efforts, the bikes have been repeatedly
out of order. We pride ourselves on the
maintenance of our equipment, so it’s
been frustrating for us as well. The good
news is that Expresso, which had gone
out of business, is back and we’ve finally
been able to get parts. So the bikes are,
at long last, back up and running. Lets
hope they stay that way! Thank you for
your patience and understanding.
