A battling rope weighs 11.5kgs each, is 40mm thick and is 15 metres in length. The rope is identical to those used by shipping companies to tie off to the harbour. An aqua bag is simply a plastic tube like bag with handles on it but when filled in part or in full with wateroh my gosh, what a workout! The aqua bags come in two sizes and when filled with water, weigh 35kgs or 25kgs. The aqua bag is particularly good for core work. Both the battling ropes and aqua bags are brilliant for team work and finding muscles you never knew you had! As always no prior experience is necessary and your qualified Step into Life trainers will provide you with instructions and technique correction. cardiomax will see the use of a new equipment item called a quick step ladder. A quick step ladder is probably best known for its use in training by American grid iron teams.

Hi all! We're 6 weeks into Run for the Kids event coming up on April 1st. Week 7 we took time out to do a boot camp at the beach. There's nothing like training on sand and through water to use muscles you didn't know you had! Training for an event gives you one big reason to keep training-the event itself. When you feel like snuggling under the covers for a sleep in instead of donning the runners and getting out there- an upcoming event that you've committed to will ensure that you throw those covers back and get up and at em'. Crossing the finish line in a blaze of glory will have you wanting more, keep your motivation high and you'll be on such a high that soon you'll be looking for the next event on the calendar. If you've never done a fun run, a boot camp, a triathlon, why not give it a go? Most events now have a beginners level that opens it up to everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes. Last week we ran past a kids triathlon. The nippers were having a ball! Training with friends and family is a great way to spend your free time, the health benefits are so enormous for all. Sometimes it just takes that one person to step up and instigate but exercise is so addictive it's not long before you're hooked. Happy training everyone:) cheers Tess

Who is Cheryl Downes?
Having moved into the area 3.5 years ago, we brought with us a bit of overweight baggage. Life was too busy, working desk jobs in IT didnt help! Heard that before? Its a poor excuse. It wasnt until we received a SIL pamphlet in the mail as we were planning a great trek in Peru that we worked out fitness needed to be the priority. There was no way we were going to make up to 20km of walking a day at altitude in our condition back then. That trip in 2010 was a great highlight but we couldnt stop there. The fitter we got, the more we wanted to do because we felt so much better. Since we started at SIL, Ive run two half marathons and have a goal in 2012 of running 1000km (approximately 20km a week should do it). So far Ive completed 15% of my goal. If you want to join in the fun or just see how were doing, check out this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/164867140284278/ My next goals are to get faster and run further. Im thinking of running a whole marathon but Im not sure I could manage the chaffing! I do two SIL sessions a week, which isnt a lot, compared to many of you, but I make sure that I exercise almost every day. My job at PlayUp in St.Kilda road is conveniently located near the Tan Track and Albert Park Lake so I have a couple of great lunchtime running options just at my doorstep and I make it a point to get out 2-3 lunchtimes a week. Working in a sports social network company, were also pretty active at lunchtime playing tennis or soccer in the park. Its probably no surprise to anyone that my favourite SIL session is a run. Any run. Im probably one of the first to sign up to any running package and I love it when theres a surprise run in a cardio session. So long as I have my garmin watch ready, Im good to go. The downside is that I dont work on my strength training enough and I feel it (and see it) when I hit a toning session and my heavy weights are lighter than some of your light weights. My favourite naughty treat is probably those wonderful vegan cupcakes from Mister Nice Guy. How did I even survive before they opened? The good news is they have a vodcast to show you how to make their beautiful treats. Emily does a great job of replicating the cupcakes too. That said, Ive recently lost quite a bit of weight and the difference has been exercising frequently and really watching my calorie consumption. Not too many cupcakes and if I do, make sure theres enough exercise balancing it out.

What is happening? Id love to join in! Coming this year Endurit-Bootcamp March 18th Run for the Kids-April 1st Tough Mudder-March 31st & April 1st
As youve probably guessed, Im not the only one in the household working out with Tess and the gang. Emily has completed a number of triathlons and is cross training to complete the BRW in early March. Emily and I recently got married in Canada. Weve been together for 6.5 years and our love of sports and fitness is one of our many things in common. Growing up we were both involved in junior elite sports. Emily was an Australian Volleyball representative and I represented Australia and Victoria in Athletics. Were also hoping that our focus on fitness is healthy and inspiring for our son Lachlan who seems to be almost permanently attached to the computer and shies away from outside. The SIL gang are great. I love that I feel like Im exercising with friends. Thats something I never felt in a gym. Tess is a great trainer and always thinks up something new for us to do.Bring it on!
Make clear boundaries. Create a work regime and stick to it in order to avoid a burn out. 4. Create a Support System: Stress is one of the biggest contributing factors to unhealthy relationships. Talk to someone you trust when things get difficult. Rather than constantly worrying about stuff, try to focus in the present. Work is important because it lets us pay the bills. But it becomes a dangerous territory once your life is all about work. So when the clock hits 5:00pm today, be happy with what youve achieved and leave. Come back to it tomorrow morning with a fresh mind you will thank yourself for it. 5. Exercise Turn up to your training and commit to it. You will be surprised at how well you can cope with your day after your one hour exercise outdoors.
If you want to participate in our Take an Exercise Break Promotion with Womens Health come and join one of our 1 hour sessions in a state near you. Visit www.stepintolife.com to register for your FREE 1 hour work out.
2. Publicise: Its always better to have someone to whom you are accountable for breaking your bad habit. Tell a friend or a Facebook friend about your new Easter resolution. Train with an exercise buddy and keep each other on track. That way, you will be answerable to your friends or buddy whenever you feel like caving in. 3. Take baby steps: So youve picked a bad habit to be broken. Great! Just dont aim to end it forever. Of course, the idea is that you never bite your nails again, or never indulge in shopping too much or exercise three times a week, but your subconscious doesnt want to hear that all at once. Tell yourself I will shop within my budgetary limit today or I will not drink alcohol tonight. Go one step at a time. Divide your challenge into doable, small portions and take it from there. 4. Be gentle on yourself: Lets face it: There is a high probability you will give in sooner or later. You wont be able to stop yourself always and in a way, it is good not to force yourself harshly. Be gentle on yourself if you cave in. Its okay if you missed your run one morning it doesnt mean you will miss it the next day as well. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. 5. Know your motives: There are mothers whove lost weight in order to play with their children, fathers whove given up being a workaholic just to spend time with their family. Whats your motivation? It could be anything that tickles your fancy: money, health, time, looks. You decide. Make sure you have your goal in front of you every time: Stick reminders on the fridge, Another cookie and you wont be able to the 5km run with Jo; schedule reminders on the smart phone Step into Life Training. For Tina! Do whatever it takes to remind yourself why youre into it in the first place. This Easter, make sure you break a bad habit and keep moving forward towards your goals!

Read what Step into Life members think about the program so far
I commenced the SIL program in mid-September and although I was training regularly, my weight loss targets were lacking and greatly in need of a Jumpstart. After discussing my concerns with my Trainer (Irene Apostolakis SIL Enfield), she mentioned the MJ program which at the time was due to be introduced to all SIL members shortly. The concept put simply is eating nutrient rich foods, drinking 2 litres of water, taking your multivitamins and ... exercising. This should not be foreign to any person who has tried to lose weight before, however, the difference between this diet and other diets is that there are no quick loss tablets, shakes or other extreme measures required to be taken by you. The diet basically works on a mix of protein and carbohydrates and the diet preference initially selected by you will determine the amount of daily exchanges you can eat. The MJ team will provide you with a list of foods including the portion size and some diet preferences also allow you to have extras. The initial diet is for 28 days and you can remain on the program until you reach your desired goals. Its important to note that this diet controls the way you lose your body fat where the average weight loss is roughly 1 kilo a week. The MJ team will tune up your diet if you are experiencing radical weight loss or you are too hungry on the diet so dont st stress so much about it during the 1 week. I was really focused during the first 28 days of the diet. I planned the next days meals the night before in my training diary and then ticked off each meal in my diary to make sure I reached each daily exchange target by the end of the day. I found that planning the meals and having the first 4 meals prepared and ready to go assisted me greatly where I was eating each meal on average every 2.5 to 3 hours and as the next meal was pre-packed I wouldnt give in to any cravings. My trainer Irene was very motivating and would review my training/diet diary with me every week where it was great to discuss any issues I had with the plan/food portions directly with her. Please note that you can also log onto the MJ site and review or post your own comments on the Jumpstart forum which I found very helpful. You will also stay motivated on the plan if you take your measurements every week. Although we all like to see the numbers come down on the scales, often we feel that we are not getting results because we are not getting big weight reductions. I weighed myself and took my measurements each week which helped me stay focused on the diet as my measurements did decrease on certain weeks whereas others, my weight. However, if you dont take any measurements or jump on the scales, a good indicator that you are in fact losing weight will be by your loose fitting clothes and all the positive feedback you get from your family, friends and peers! Unlike other diets I have been on before, I have also had a great deal of energy in my SIL training sessions whilst on the MJ program and I would definitely recommend the program to all other SIL members in need of a Jumpstart!!.

Another success story from a happy member at Step into Life Mount Waverley...
Steven asked me to write a small piece on the MJ diet plan as it had been so successful for me. Despite 5 years of exercising regularly and eating what I thought were healthy meals I had only managed to lose 1 kg in weight. I have never needed to lose much, but wanted to be in my healthy weight range by losing 5kg.This has been extremely difficult to do. In late October I started the MJ diet plan and the food was very similar to what I was eating but the key for me was the portion control. The first 4 weeks were difficult but I stuck to it, measuring, weighing (This is something I said I would never do) After 4 weeks it became easier, I wasnt hungry, nor craving sweet food. My smaller portions were actually filling me. I have now lost 4.5 kg which doesnt sound a lot but for me it was a huge amount, especially over Xmas! The diet plan is now a way o f life, I dont measure anymore, I know the correct portions and Im eating foods that are healthy and filling that satisfy my hunger throughout the day. I recommend that you give the MJ program a go, the first 4 weeks will be hard but if you stick to it, it becomes easier and it DOES work Jayne, Step into Life Mount Waverley, VIC
