Fathers Day
Dear Members, family and friends I hope you are all super fit! A happy Fathers day to all the Step into Life Dads! I am the dad of two awesome boys, Brendan 12 and Dylan 9. On Fathers Day each year one of my regrets is that my dad is not with us to enjoy spending the day with us. My dad passed away 15 years ago at the young age of 60 after many years of heart issues caused by smoking, stress and a lack of exercise. If your dad could use some stress relief and health improvement then dont have any regrets take the first step and help them to get into an exercise routine. Invite your dad and any dad that you know to take the first step to better health. Have a fantastic Fathers Day. Have you enjoyed the new discount movie tickets via the Movie Club? We are really excited about this addition to the member benefit program. This week in Melbourne there were a few days where the temperatures were a little warmer and a smell of spring was in the air! It wont be long now and we will all be sweltering with summer in full swing dont wait till then to get into shape! Now is the time to train hard. Train hard and enjoy doing it outdoors.

Monthly training tips! 8 Technique tips to get you running like a champion
Did you know that most people make running harder than it needs to be by wasting energy through poor technique? Correcting your running technique means you can save some of that wasted energy to be able to run faster or longer, and reduce the risk of injury. Here are 8 tips for improving your running style: 1. Torso - Be tall - draw up from the top of your head towards the sky. Resist the urge to hunch or slump over especially when tired. 2. Shoulders - Relax your shoulders down and away from your ears. If you carry tension there, every now and then hunch them right up to your ears and relax and let them drop right back down again. Draw your shoulder blades towards each other and down. By this we mean don't allow your shoulders to round forward. Proud chest is best. 3. Eyes - Look at where you are going - try not to stare at your feet or you'll be slumped over in no time! Looking a few metres in front of you is good for safety and technique. 4. Abdominals - Brace your abdominals - pull your navel towards your spine (without holding your breath!) 5. Hands - Place your thumb on the side of your index finger, forming a loose fist. Hands should stay relaxed but controlled. No clinching of the fist as this tenses the whole body! 6. Arms - You should have a 90 degree angle at your elbows. Arms swing naturally, but close to the body, hands around the height of your hips. Watch for arms that wave around - especially as you try to run faster. 7. Stride - Think of your legs as a smooth wheel moving over the ground, not pogo sticks bouncing into the ground. Most people make the mistake of taking strides that are too large and inefficient. Count how many steps you take in one minute whilst running. You are aiming to take 180 per minute no matter what speed you are running. This will take practice and you'll need to work towards this number slowly. Taking smaller steps will eliminate the bounce and make your strides smoother. 8. Mind - Relax, enjoy! If you feel tense try to shake everything out and continue running.
It might seem like a lot to learn but if you spend a little time during every run going over this checklist, all the above tips will become habit. And you'll look like a pro and run more efficiently!
If you've paid any attention at all to the Olympics over your lifetime one thing may stand out to you - every four years, records seem to crumble. We're getting faster and stronger, not because of evolution, but thanks to science. High speed video has us refining our form, nutritionists are finding the most efficient diet and coaches are timing training schedules for peak performance. Just how much of an impact has this had on athletic achievement? Well, the New York Times decided to plot every medallist from the last 116 years of Olympic games in the 100-meter sprint, the 100-meter freestyle and the long jump. Though records aren't actually shattered every year, there's a clear trend of improvement (with the exception of the long jump). In fact, this year's last place sprinter in the final round would have edged out 1896's gold medalist by more than half a second - and he was battling a groin injury. Hit up the source links to see 116 years of medal winners compared, and the more coverage link to see how athletes are squeezing every last bit of performance from their bodies as we approach the limits of human capability.

Instead, eat in moderation and promise yourself another portion for tomorrow. This doesnt give you the now or never type of ultimatum on your body. By the way, always keep your promises! 4. Interpret your body-lingo: You may hear your body telling you to go grab a large pizza or have cheese and crackers for dinner. However, what the body really wants to say is go get warm now. You can then change the craving from having a pizza to a hot cup of tea and a hot water bath. Does the trick most of the time. 5. Dont go empty to a social gathering: Society pressures us into eating and drinking. Before leaving the house, have a bowl of salad or eat fresh fruits. Drink ample water to get that feeling of fullness. According to Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD, founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Centre and associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, When we eat outside the home, studies suggest that we may take in 40% more calories than 1 we would otherwise. A whopping 40%! Imagine that. What tips are you using to turn off your hunger switch this winter? Tell us on our Facebook page!

Come winter, it becomes hard to avoid overeating and gaining weight. Most people will beat themselves up over the binge-eating habit that shows up in winter. However, it is important to realise your hunger pangs are normal. Not convinced? Lets dig a little deeper. Humans are warm-blooded mammals. We experience hunger pangs in winter because we are biologically programmed to feel that way. Its an evolutionary trait that makes the body add weight to it during the cold, dark days. Our ancestors, the cave-men, would find it difficult to hunt or prey for food and the extra fat helped them cope with the cold. While eating is not bad, over-eating is, and during winter it can be attributed to seasonal changes. But since we dont hibernate like bears, we need to channel the pangs in such a way that make winters remain a healthy season. 1. Eat slow: Eating slow allows your body to signal that it is full and no longer hungry. Eat too quick and you will find yourself in the sick and bloated feeling you get when youre stuffed. Studies show that winters add up to at least a kilo to your body and although this doesnt sound like much, think about this: You will have gained weight by at least 10 kilos in a decade! 2. Measure your intake: Make it a point to eat from a plate and measure your portions. Eating from a plate may give your eyes a signal that youre eating more than usual measuring your intake will help you keep binge-eating in check. 3. Treat yourself: Most of us have a tendency to tell ourselves: You can eat this today, but cant have anymore! This causes us to overeat and you may end up eating a whole box of chocolates in one go.

Healthy Recipe
At Last - Guilt Free Eating!
Eat a snack or drink water before you go out so that your stomach is not empty. Decide on the maximum number of drinks you will have. Volunteer to be the designated driver. Make your first drink a large glass of water. Drink only with meals. Drink slowly. Make each drink last. Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Dilute wine with plain mineral water. Choose low-alcohol beers and wines. Choose a mock tail (non-alcoholic drink) rather than a cocktail. Avoid getting in shouts. Leave your wine glass full. Fellow diners cant refill a full glass. Remember, you dont have to finish the bottle! When you are out, ask others to cut off the (alcohol) tap when they think youve had enough. If you drink to relax or reduce stress, try an alternative activity like going for a walk, reading a good book or watching television.
