SPECIAL EDITION
The Step into Life Training Club is 14 years old! Step into Life started inJuly 1995 and it was August 1995 that the first Step into Life clients wereawarded with praise and encouragement for the points they had achievedwithin their first month of training. The Training Club was born.
We tried certificates, medals and other ways of recognizing their hard workbut none of those really motivated the clients, then one 6:00am session, afounding member called Thomas Singer said, I want to show off my pointsto my friends at Step into Life. Well this sparked ideas and discussionabout coloured shoe laces and caps and bibs and all sorts of ways to showthe Training Club kudos and seniority.
After much discussion, the original Step into Life group at Caulfield decidedon the t-shirt system. They loved the idea of wearing their accomplishmentwith pride. I would love to listen to the questions new clients would askthose wearing their shirts 500 points! Did you do that in one go? orHow long did it take you to get that?.
The Step into Life Training Club is a highly successful motivational tool andhas proven itself over the last 14 years as a real motivator for clientsnationally. There is a sports psychology aspect to the Training Club. Everyperson who trains hard for any sporting event loves to look at, appreciateand show others the item they were given to recognise their participation.Research on thousands of fun run competitors has shown that the majorityprefers their race entry or race completion t-shirt as compared to a medalthat usually sits in a drawer somewhere.
All of us at Step into Life would like to say well done to each and everyStep into Life client for their dedication to their training and theachievement of their points.
Keep track of your Training Club points with your fortnightly report.1 point in cardio for every 10 minutes1 point in Toning for every 15 minutes1 point per Km for all endurance sessions10 points for a fitness test
Training Club kudos come in t-shirts or singlets.
Keep up the good workLarry CohenDirector

Directors DeskUnderstandyour exercise
Dear Members, family and friends
Everyone starts an exercise program for a multitude ofdifferent reasons. Weight loss, fitness, health benefits, fatloss, social interaction etc. but the important aspect is thereasons that you saw Step into Life as being the solution toachieving your exercise goals. Those reasons are thedriving force behind what we do at Step into Life every day.
Last week whilst visiting a Step into Life venue, a membersaid to me that she enjoyed her training and that thereports that she received were invaluable in helping herachieve her exercise goals.
This intrigued me as I saw this as one of the reasonsmentioned above. Why were the reports so important to
her? She explained that she had exercised at manydifferent exercise providers and this was the first time shewas educated, about what she was doing and how shewas progressing.
The reports showed her what she had achieved andmotivated her to continue. If the reports have not been amajor reason for you this is understandable, but Id like toask you a favour, next time you are given a Fortnightlyreport ask your trainer to explain the following to you:-
1. Your time per km and how this relates to your heartrate percentage (i.e. the training zone to best achieveyour results).
2. What is an endurance km and what activities make upendurance sessions and why do we have endurancesessions?
3. How do you work out your heart rate percentage andcan you find your percentage on the heart rate board.
4. How are my training club points allocated and howmany do I currently have?

Health & Fitness Article
Managing ChangeStarting a fitness program certainly requires a lot of change - both physically and mentally - and how we manage and accept thischange will ultimately determine how much success we achieve! Here are some general tips on managing change....
Change is something we experience everyday whether we are aware of it or not. On a simple level the bus driver is different this morning or thetoll booth operator is on holiday. Maybe our favourite brand of something is sold out and we have to choose a replacement this week. Or maybeour internet connection is down for maintenance (again!) and we have to find another way to communicate.
On a broader level we often make decisions to change something fundamental in our life. It might be your job, a change of abode, breaking up or
forming a relationship, and (of course) starting a new fitness program to change your health and well being. These are major changes and cancause a lot of negative stress in our lives. How we handle change can have a massive impact on our health and our relationships. These tipsbelow may not help you to LOVE change, they will help ease the ride by reminding you to take care of your most important asset along the way -YOU!
Tip 1:When in doubt, go slow and get your bearings before moving on. If you ever found yourself lost while on the way to someplace else thenthe best thing to do is to slow down and take a look at your surroundings. This is the same for life - once you have a pretty good idea of whereyou are, it will be much easier to see what direction you need to go in next.
Tip 2:Be grateful for the new opportunities and possibilities that change brings. Change can sometimes bring new lessons and new connectionsthat can help us further down the road, and these things can ultimately make us a healthier, happier human being.
There is also a lot of wisdom in the saying that "what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger". While this not always true (repeat stair runningis a good example) the tough times in our lives can you a more rounded and balanced person, and might allow you to appreciate the not-so-tough times even more!
Tip 3: Take time for yourself to re-establish your personal foundations. Reconnect with yourself and with your goals and desires. Sometimesactivities that take the focus off of the everyday like taking a walk, reading a book, or listening to music help us to reconnect with what isimportant to us and give us a certain calmness and strength that helps us keep going.
Personally we find fitness training is a great way to get away from it all and find some "me time" in our day. A walk, run, cycle or gym session canbe an almost "meditative" experience that can clear away negative thoughts and bring some focus back into your day. This is true both mentallyand physically, because studies have shown that after exercising people have greater mental clarity and make better decisions. So the next timethings are becoming over-whelming or you feel bogged down try taking some time out for fitness.
Tip 4: Allow some room for mistakes. So you chose the wrong direction, or made a mistake, now what? You can be angry with yourself but thatmight not get you back on track. The best thing to do is acknowledge your mistake and turn around to try something else. Beating yourself upmay only slow you down and make you feel bad about yourself as well. Most of the time we allow room for children to make mistakes as theygrow and learn - so why not do this with ourselves.
People often beat themselves up over missing a training session or having a "bad" meal or snack. Whilst it's not helpful to miss training or eatpoorly, it's also not the end of the world and is certainly no reason to stop altogether. Try to let it go, and get back on track as soon as possible.Also, see if you can determine the reasons for why you had a bad patch, and then organize things so they don't happen again!
Tip 5:Make lists of things you need to do as you think of them - keep a notebook with you. One of the reasons change sends us into a tailspin isthat we lose control of our regular schedule. We can be afraid of not being able to do everything we want to do. While being organized is not theonly method of dealing with change; it can help you remember what is essential that needs to be done like paying the bills or doing the washing.Similarly, stick to a training plan and keep a track of how everything is going. We can often forget what is important when it comes to fitness oreating well, so if we have a plan that takes care of itself it will ensure you keep right on track and wont be distracted by the things that inevitablytry to disrupt us.

Managing Change Continued
Tip 6: Stop and breathe when you feeloverwhelmed, nervous or unsure, andknow these feelings are absolutelynormal. It's hard-wired into ourbiochemistry to be concerned or worriedabout changes to the environment,because it's what helped us stay onguard from the physical threats we usedto experience - tigers, lions, famine, etc!.We're often concerned about change andthe unknown but it is perfectly normal tohave feelings of fear and uncertainty.The trick is how you manage this stressand ensure it doesn't becoming
overwhelming or out of control.
Tip 7: Give yourself several weeks to getused to your new situation, because itcan take some time to get fullyacquainted with new surroundings. If it isa new job, use the first few months tolearn all there is to know about how to doyour job on a basic level. If after the firstthree months you see that you need tomake changes then you will have all ofthe information you need. It's the samewith fitness - start out slow and get usedto the movements and activities you aredoing. It may take some time for it to
become natural or even enjoyable, but ifyou give it some time you'll be surprisedwhat can be achieved!
Tip 8: Keep a positive attitude and findsomething to be happyabout everyday -a new experience or discovery; evensomething as simple as the colour of awall or a leaf on a tree. Being joyful orstopping to smell the roses helps us toslow down and in the slowing down wecan see that we are where we aresupposed to be in the process of change.If you are new to fitness, or even an oldhand, look for the small improvements at
every training session. Rome wasn't builtin a day, and it does take time for yourfitness program to work its magic! Youneed to focus on what you can control -which is the here and now of the trainingyou are doing right now, and let the endresults take careof themselves.
