Directors Desk MOTHER NATURE

Dear Step into Life Members, family and friends, I write this Directors Desk with very mixed emotions. Feelings of sadness, grief, pity, awe, amazement, courage, pride, humbleness come to mind. Over the past weeks we have all experienced the power of mother nature and the devastating floods that she unleashed on QLD, NSW and Northern and Western VIC. The pictures that were shown on TV were hard to imagine and almost impossible to comprehend. In a matter of a few hours thousands of homes and businesses were inundated with water. Families lost loved ones and people lost there houses and all their possessions. It was heart breaking to see and hear the stories of the people caught is the floods and of those brave people who tried to rescue the victims as the floods waters arrived with such fury. Step into Life in our own small way have also been caught up in this flood crisis. Step into Life Stanthorpe and Step into Life Locker Valley bore the brunt of the floods as the water created havoc in these towns and of all our QLD Franchisees only four venues have not been flooded and were able to continue with sessions. I started off the Directors desk by stating that one of the emotions I had was that of Pride. As soon as the news of the floods were broad cast so our Franchisees all over the country jumped into action and within a few days they had organized Fun Runs, events and donation drives to help raise funds for the victims of these floods. The social media networks of Facebook, Twitter, emails etc went into overdrive. Continued next page

Our New Years Resolution BootCamps have begun! These recruits had just finished their teaser BootCamp at 6am on the amazing morning of January 29th. Good luck Recruits your B.I is looking forward to whipping you all (into shape!) until these BootCamps finish in March. Its not too late to join in. All of these guys pictured have started putting their resolutions into action we hope you have too! One small step or one giant leap?

The Step into Life Group was on the move with a goal to achieve. I can truly say that I am very proud to be part of the Step into Life family and I congratulate all our Franchisees and you our Members on the amazing effort and concern that has been shown towards those fellow Australians who have suffered as a result of these floods. I have no doubt that all of our members around Australia have helped by making donations to the Flood Appeal and have given of your time or skills in helping the flood victims to get back on their feet. Hopefully floods like these will never be seen in our life time again. Regards Mark Cohen Director

Health and Fitness

Staying well hydrated through the summer months
Every little cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water. Your body depends on water for survival. Staying on top of your daily hydration needs will see you enjoying better health and functioning more optimally in your activities of daily living. How much water do I need everyday? Recommendations vary considerably but in reality each individual is different and therefore what is adequate for one might not be for another. Typical signs of dehydration include; a dry mouth, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, darker urine or in more extreme cases little or no urine. During the summer months, fluid intake needs to be increased in order to avoid these symptoms. Hot humid weather can have a significant impact on your hydration levels. Water is the best option for staying hydrated, however there are numerous drinks and foods that can help provide the water you need. Always be mindful that drinks such as fruit juice, soft drink and sports drinks can all add significant calories to your diet. It is advisable to keep these to a minimum. However if you intend on exercising at a high intensity for longer than an hour, sports drinks can become extremely useful. Sports drinks have been specifically formulated to help retain fluid more effectively than water and provide a good level of carbohydrate to assist in maintaining blood sugar levels. Fresh fruit and vegetables may also contribute to your hydration level as they have high water content. A few tips for staying well hydrated Keep a bottle of water with you at all times. Aim to refill it a couple of times over the course of the day

Increase your water intake when exercising. Make sure you drink sufficient amount before, during and after your
workout.

Include a glass of water at all meals Adding a slice of lemon or lime to water may assist in making it more appealing and thereby encourage you to drink
more frequently.

Include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet on a daily basis. The high water content will contribute
significantly to your overall hydration levels.
