    Directors DeskA HEALTHY andhappy New Year

    Dear Members, family and friends

    2009 is almost upon us and I would like you to add one

    more New Years resolution to your list a health check.Do you re-call the advertising campaign to get us all tochange our smoke alarm batteries? Change your clock -change your smoke alarm battery.

    Step into Life would like make every January the month foryou to make an effort to go and have a health check. Newyears resolution #1, go for a check up. Males over 35 andfemales over 45 should always have a health check beforecommencing any form of exercise and once you havecommenced an exercise program it is still a very good ideato go for a check up at least once annually.

    Positive results and feeling good does not mean that acheck up can be avoided. I am confident that Step into Lifeclients will feel fitter, stronger, healthier and will achieve fatloss or weight loss results but even with these great resultsthe internal health of every Step into Life member shouldbe checked.

    All Step into Life trainers are highly trained in the Step intoLife group outdoor training programs which follow approvedexercise science principles and all trainers are qualified;hold valid first aid certificates but like any exerciseprofessional it is impossible to see what health risk lieswithin the human body. Genetics and hereditary factorsaccount for many, health related problems. Exercise and

    diet will definitely make an impact to reduce symptoms likeheart disease and high cholesterol etc but a check up withyour GP annually is a very good idea.

    Make sure you mention to your GP how often you train withus and the type of training you do.

    Health & Fitness ArticleNew Year's Resolution No-nos

    by Anastasia Poland for MSN Health & Fitness

    Do you see New Year's Eve as a great time to make resolutions you will inevitably break? You're not alone.However, a University of Washington study by Elizabeth Miller and Alan Marlatt found that a full 63 percent ofpeople do stick to their primary resolutions for at least two months. It can be done. Here are the top five reasonswhy we don't keep our resolutions past February:

    Reality Check 101:Unrealistic goals are a real killer for achieving change. Instead of cutting "all sugars and carbs"from your diet or deciding to "exercise every single day," consider moderation. Unless you have health constraints,an occasional carb can be a reward, especially after you've created an attainable exercise plan for your busyschedule. Also make sure the resolutions on your list are purely for younot your partner, your family, or yourfriends. If you're not doing them for yourself, you won't end up doing them at all.

    No plan of attack:Being impulsive might spice up a romance, but where resolutions are concerned, less is more.Several excellent ways for "setting yourself up for resolution failure," says Marlatt, are not planning out yourresolutions until the last minute or making them based on your mindset on New Year's Eve. Planning, thenassessing what obstacles may inhibit your goals (e.g., you want to cut junk food from your diet, but live in ahousehold of junk-food junkies) will help you evaluate what changes you need to make.

    K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid):What's with the 10 resolutions on that list? Take off your overachiever cape andtoss it aside. Too many folks overwhelm themselves by attempting several big life changes simultaneously. Chooseone or two achievable goals that introduce positive changes into your life instead of forcing yourself to quit all ofyour bad habits at once. The confidence you gain by following one new healthy life pattern can later be parlayedinto ditching another unhealthy one. Miller found that confidence was the key underlying factor in people creatingtrue change.

    More or less:These words are the enemies of goal attainment. More healthy, less weight? What does this mean inreal terms? Those who fall off the resolution wagon often neglect to quantify goals or set deadlines. If you want tofeel healthier, write a list of what that means to you (for example, attend yoga class twice weekly, add two veggiesto daily diet, lose 10 pounds by March, get monthly massages and work from there.

    If at first you don't succeed:This old axiom is so true, yet we do ourselves a great disservice by not making sureto "try, try again." If you sneak a snack, leave work early or indulge that TV craving, it doesn't mean you have toabandon your commitment. Persistence is key. Miller discovered that only 40 percent of people polled achieved

    their goals the first time around. Seventeen percent succeeded after more than six tries. Adds Marlatt, "It's amistake to blame yourself if you fail. Instead, look at the barriers that were in your way. See how you can do better the next time and figure out a better plan to succeed. You do get to try again"

    New Years Resolution No Nos- continuedPrime yourself for successful resolutions by being realistic, takingsmall steps, recognizing success, and being flexible when youbackslide. By keeping at it and not throwing in the towel the first timeyou skip a workout or give into a craving, you will be able to makepositive changes that will last all year and beyond. When you makeexercise fit your personality and your lifestyle, you are already onthe road to success.

    End of an EraIn July 1995 the first Step into Life Franchise was established inCaulfield and Caulfield Park. Step into Life company directors Larryand Mark Cohen have been delivering group outdoor trainingsessions for the last 13 years.

    As the Step into Life Franchise group has grown so Larry and Markscommitments have increased and the management of Step into LifeCaulfield was lead by Belinda Picker. Belinda Picker was a client atCaulfield and then became assistant trainer and manager and hasbeen involved for 10 years. Larry and Mark presented Belinda with along service gift. Belinda will still be taking sessions with the newowner Libby Gut.

    In 2008 Libby became involved as another assistant trainer andexpressed a keen interest in ownership of this founding Franchise.Libby will take over running of the Franchise in February after shecompletes the Step into Life Franchisee Training Program at theRadisson Resort, Gold Coast in January. We wish Libby all the best.Step into Life Caulfields end of year party and farewell was held atNandos Heatherton store and what a night it was! The food wasfantastic and the vibe electric.

    Larry and Mark were presented with a Boot camp style farewellsong sung beautifully by Caulfield members; a signed Training clubshirt and a plaque with The 10 rules according to Larry and Mark.

    Larry and Mark will still be involved at Step into Life Caulfield in thetesting of new training programs and lesson plans. The Step intoLife Franchise group now has 130 Franchises in Australia and 1 inNew Zealand and Step into Life Caulfield, the founding Franchisewill continue to be a flagship Franchise.
