    Health & FitnessThe balancing act

    Youve toiled in corporate jobs, worked at home to keepyour familys sanity and health in place, tended to thetoddlers and family alike. Now its time to shift your focus toYOU.

    How many times have you stopped during the hustle andbustle of the day and thought about yourself? After all,youre the head of the home department and you rock atyour job. But to maintain calm in a stressful lifestyle, you gotto be thinking about your fitness and as the basis to good

    balance in your life.

    Here are a few tips to help you stay fit and manage thebalancing act:

    1. Get moving: Go out in nature and spend at least 35-40minutes a day. If you pick a time at dawn, its even better.Most of us have a tendency to excuse ourselves fromexercising during evenings and after work. Enjoy a walk, arun or a ride on your bicycle to boost your fitness levels.

    2. Choose high intensity: Walking at a moderate speedwill not be as effective as doing so faster at a higher

    intensity. When possible, pick higher intensity workouts asthey do a much better job at keeping you fit.

    3. Replace negative impression about yourself withself-supporting ones: Be kind to yourself. As amother/farther, sister/brother, wife/husband and aunt/uncle,youve been lovingly giving away too much. On the flip side,this could lead to emotional instability with repressedfeelings of anger, self-doubt and sadness building up.Always be self-supportive and think positively about yourbody image. Dont think My bum is so big. Replace it withI did so well at the group training this morning and I amimproving each day! Love yourself first.

    4. Exercise socially: Research proves that even exercisehaters enjoy working out in a group than alone. If you finddoing it solo too boring to initiate, there are a plethora ofoptions available for you to choose from. In a group, youcan enjoy lasting friendships, the good company of upliftingpeople and training with a motivational trainer.

    5. Dont just focus your calorie-intake: Not all calories aremade equal and our bodies react differently to those high intrans-fat than those from natural foods. Look at nutrition

    holistically rather than getting obsessive about your calorie-intake. Choose healthier options as an overall shift.

    6. Build downtime in your schedule: Go on a date, shopwith friends or catch up with family. Dont ignore the power ofa short break during a busy day. If you have a date with yourpartner or a night out with friends marked in your schedule,you will have something extra and positive to look forward to.

    7. Consider hiring help: Take a closer look at your dailyerrands and think the list through. Do you think youll bebetter off hiring a kid to mow your lawn? Or get a nanny tohelp you with the toddler? Dont be harsh on yourself by

    doing everything. If you dont like the price tag on services,why not barter them instead? Cook and prepare meals for afriend in exchange for their babysitting or negotiatehousehold chores with other members in the house.

    We can sometimes get stuck with the philosophy of givebefore take and tend to neglect our own needs in the face ofneeds of others. Think win-win instead. So do not take upevery little task in the house and at work or try to become aperfectionist as this may hamper your overall well-being andhappiness.

    Always remember, Good enough is the new perfect.

    Becky Beaupre Gillespie and remember that balance is thekey.

    Give a mother/farther, sister/brother or friend a boost thismonth by bringing them with you to your next Step into Lifesession or by surprising them with a Step into Life gift card. AStep into Life gift card is a perfect idea for this Mothers daywhich is just around the corner!

    6 traps that put you off trackYouve started your shape-up program and have made

    some changes to your eating and physical activity habits.Now its important to avoid the traps that can undo all yourgreat work. Here are some common ones:

    1. Impatience Expecting quick weight loss and not gettingit can cause frustration. Make sure you set realistic goals.It has probably taken many years to gain weight, so evenif it takes a number of months to lose it, youll be enjoyingthe new fitter, healthier you from day one.

    2. Relying on willpower Relying on willpower alone tostop yourself eating too much often backfires. Buildhealthy habits and a leaner environment over time tocomplement your natural resolve.

    3. Testing yourself Throwing yourself into challengingfood situations too soon in your program can dint yourconfidence. For example, it may be better to avoidcooking that chocolate cake for the kids if you think youmight sample it during the process.

    4. Trying to be perfect Striving for the perfect diet orexercise routine can have the opposite effect if you findachieving it is more challenging than you expected.Remember, life happens and flexibility is the key tomaintaining a healthy diet and activity pattern.

    5. Taking a break Allowing yourself to take a complete

    break from regular activity for a month or more, thinkingyoull get back into it is just the type of thinking to avoid.As little as two weeks appears to be the danger period,after which exercisers become non-exercisers for good.

    6. Thinking you know enough Information and educationabout the risks of excess body fat, healthy foods and thebenefits of regular exercise are often not enough. Youalso need to monitor your progress, have practicalstrategies for managing difficult situations and getencouraging support. Its the complete package that reallyworks.

    With eating, activity and weight management, changing

    the way you think is just as important as changing whatyou do!

    Habit

    I am your constant companion.

    I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.

    I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

    I am completely at your command.

    Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to

    me, and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.

    I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.

    Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a

    few lessons I will do it automatically.

    I am the servant of all great men.

    And, alas, of all failures as well.

    Those who are great, I have made great.

    Those who are failures, I have made failures.

    I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a

    machine.

    Plus, the intelligence of a man.

    You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no

    difference to me.

    Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at

    your feet.

    Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.

    Who am I?

    I am a HABIT!

    Terris storyStep into Life Oakleigh Victoria

    It all began in July 2010. I weighed myself one day and wasdisgusted. I was 120kg. Not my heaviest mind you. A fewyears earlier I was 127kg and was even more disgusted. Idid the Tony Ferguson program lost 27kg, stopped followingthe program and put back 20kg of the 27kg lost. Hence mysecond starting weight of 120kg. So I began my own weightloss program. I took the clothes that were hanging on myexercise bike off and actually started to use the bike for whatit was meant for exercise. I began to eat better, especiallyat work. I work at a supermarket so impulse snacking isquite easy. Theres a lot to choose from when you want aquick bite to eat.

    One day in March 2011, I brought my car in for a servicenear Brandon Park shopping centre. I lived in Huntingdale atthe time. I decided to walk home. It was a 6km walk, which Iworked out later with the car. Nearly home, walking alongPrinces Hwy on the opposite side of the road to the footyoval, I noticed some people and a bunch of fit balls. So Idecided to cross the road and go check it out. I walkedaround the oval having a look at what they were doing. Itlooked like fun. I took down the number and gave it a callwhen I got home and left a message. I got a call back fromKoula and while having a chat I found out that we went to

    the same high school and she knew my brother. Smallworld! We had a talk about what Id already been doing andwhat I wanted to achieve. I decided to do a free trial sessionthe following Monday morning. That was March 28, 2011.And thats where my Step into Life Oakleigh story begins.

    My first session was the bridge. My muscles didnt knowwhat hit them. But I went back for more. 3 sessions perweek. 2 cardiomax and 1 toneup, which I still do today. Iwas around 106kg when I started Step into Life. Part of myexcess baggage was gone so now it was time to shed evenmore. At the start of the Biggest Loser challenge this year, Iweighed in at 91.4kg Im still not quite sure if the scales

    were correct that day so over 14kg lighter and the smallestIve been in my adult life.

    My time with Step into Life has been awesome. Ive metsome wonderful people and done some amazing things.Like just the other day, I jogged all the way around the ovalwithout stopping. First time ever. It was great, even thoughfor a moment I thought I may have needed an ambulance.But that feeling didnt last long. I enjoy all training sessions cardiomax and toneup and even endurit which I didfor the first time the other day in 36 degree heat andsurvived.

    Ive had a few minor injuries during my time. But withKoulas help Ive been able to work through them, recoverand continue my training. Koula knows what I can and cant

    do and when I can and cant do them, but pushes andencourages me that bit more each session, which makesme push that bit harder.

    I really enjoy hitting the training milestones. Each clubtraining club t-shirt gets smaller and smaller. My first t-shirtwas an XXL, 200 was an XL and 500 was an L. Im nowlooking forward to achieving my 1000 club training points,along with all the sweat rain, hail or shine. Bring on themedium t-shirt!

    Recently Ive been told by people that Im skin & bonesand tiny which Im far from, but absolutely love the

    compliments. It makes me more motivated. Step into Lifehas changed my life. Im the fittest and healthiest Ive beenin over 15 years and I intend to continue this lifestyle formany years to come.

    I have absolutely surpassed what I expected to achieve when I joined

    Step into Life Keysborough (SILK). I had a gym membership but hadbeen feeling for a while that it wasnt fulfilling all my needs, that I

    needed something more.

    I had discovered running and oddly found that I was enjoying it but I

    had reached a point where I had questions for which I needed answers in

    order to progress past a slow jog on a treadmill and after becoming

    increasingly frustrated with the lack of interest and support my gym

    provided in this area, I made the decision to look elsewhere, before I

    gave up running altogether.

    Joining Aaron and Jess at Wachter Reserve has opened up a whole new

    world for me, even beyond running. I was thrilled to complete my first

    10km run, then amazed even myself when I finished a half marathon.

    This year has been particularly exciting for me as I completed the Tough

    Bloke/Chick challenge in March, my first obstacle course event. I

    never, in my wildest dreams thought I could do such an event, let alone

    complete every obstacle. I then joined a team of other Steppers and

    together we successfully crossed the finish line at Tough Mudder. A

    20km endurance eventsomething I never, ever thought possible.

    The Step into Life Trainers, Aaron and lovely Jess, and of course the

    other members, from all walks of life who train alongside me, constantly

    inspire me to do things I never thought possible. Personally, I know

    without a doubt that the encouragement and support offered in this

    environment is a contributing factor to the success of my training.

    I know I am a happier person when I am working out and that myachievements are important to the rest of my SILK family too.Completing events that I once thought were impossible, makes me

    realise that the only limits I have to accept are those that I put on myself.

    My personal achievements are made all the more enjoyable as I get to

    share them alongside members of my SILK family. We do it together,

    outdoors!! I cant wait for our next adventure!

    Inspirations April 2012Since starting SiL I've wanted to become a fitter,

    healthier and to establish habits beneficial to my overallhealth and well-being. With the help of Jess and Aaron

    I've been able jump not only two fitness categories (from

    a 4 to a 6) but I've also established a confidence tochallenge myself physically with events like Tough

    Mudder that I couldn't have dreamed of doing 12mths

    ago. I've also achieved my goal of weight loss and

    control over my weight which I never thought I could

    have. This progress has also just made me want to go

    harder at training as I can see the success and results.

    Since training with Az and Jess my quality of life has

    definately improved. I'm finding myself not only

    achieving but attempting things I never thought I could

    achieve. I've found a new enjoyment out of exercise and

    no longer see it as a chore but a way of life and also now

    a hobby I get restless without.

    I definitely have noticed a lifestyle change as I find

    when I don't train at SiL I miss it. Previously I was not

    one to be sad if I couldn't exercise or be active but now

    it's a part of life. Working in an office all day it is now a

    great stress relief and great way to get out in the fresh air

    (yes even in the winter months). It is important to keep

    up with this for me not only for my sanity but for my

    health and quality of life.

    I think to be what I dream to be I need to continue tochallenge myself and not fall into a 'comfort zone' withtraining due to coming as far as I have. I need to

    continue to follow the guidance my Jess and Az (as i

    know they'll push me whether i like it or not) :) as they

    have gotten me to where I am today and I know they'll

    get me even further to where I'd like to/ dream to be.
