Rave Reviews
Dear Members, family and friends The Matt ONeill Metabolic Jumpstart program launched and is experiencing rave reviews. Over 1700 Step into Life members have jumpstarted in the first month well done. I have heard some really exciting feedback from Step into Life members about weight loss, increased energy levels, a heightened awareness of food choices and an increase in sound nutrition knowledge. The Metabolic Jumpstart plus program will commence straight after your 4 week individualised program, providing you with a host of benefits and forms part of your Step into Life membership. We are all very pleased that the Metabolic Jumpstart program has been well received by Step into Life members and thank you for your support. You know I always find that the December / January period is a weird time of year! We are all so desperate for a break but at the same time we are all also so keen to start the new-year afresh. We all want to achieve new goals and discover new challenges and make a fresh start. So why do we allow ourselves to become so undisciplined at this time of year? We tend to over eat, over drink, over shop and a few other overs to boot. It seems that we allow ourselves to absorb this idea that the Christmas and New Year spirit means we have to let go and allow ourselves to pig out in order to start the New Year afresh. We dont! We simply do not have to drop our discipline so low making it even harder to realise those fresh goals and challenges. So, here are my tips for all Step into Life members, family and friends for this time of year. Survival Tips for the Festive Season 1. Maintain some resemblance of routine.

2. Dont stop your training. 3. Get your training done early so you can tick the box and feel good about yourself all day. 4. Increase your awareness of dates where you are likely to stray from eating well or exercising.

What sports have you been involved with during your life/best achievement? Ive been involved in Indoor Soccer and Football. Until recently I was playing Mixed Indoor netball, but have had to give that up due to an injury. My best achievement was when I started playing Football at the tender age of 16, I won Best First Year player, and the following year I won 2nd best and fairest for my Football Club, Oakleigh Districts. However, my recent personal highlight was completing the 14.7km Run for the kids Charity. What is your favourite Step into Life session? I have to say that I enjoy the cardio sessions immensely. Although our trainer puts us thru pain, I see results at the end... What is your favourite naughty treat when your instructors arent looking? I am a sucker for Chocolate Mint slice biscuits and Salt n Vinegar chips....yummy!

Been good all year Congratulations! You look tanned and toned and the new dress you bought months ago now fits you. After working hard over the winter months, you deserve to celebrate. The festive season is a great time to test your will power and continue to make healthy choices. Keep up the good work knowing that it gets easier to sustain a healthy lifestyle if you make it part of your routine regardless of the season. Going Away Your bags are packed and ready for a well-deserved break. While its tempting to plan a holiday where you can just sit and do nothing for a change, why not consider this ideaYou can still take a break, have fun and stay active. Take time to walk and visit local attractions or swap the camping chair for a game of frisbee with the kids. When theres a will theres always a way. Plan to pack a ball or two in the luggage. Remember, its mind over matter. You can continue healthy habits festive season or not.
