    Questions..

    Where were you born?

    South Eastern Hospital, Noble Park

    What is your current profession ?Boring old School, Student

    What sports have you been involved with during your life / best

    achievement ?I've played Footy, Cricket, Tennis, Basketball and the best achievement

    was when my tennis team won the Grand Final.

    What is your favourite naughty treat ?Mc Donalds can't beat a DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER MEAL!

    What primary school and secondary school did you attend?I attended Don Bosco Primary School in Narre Warren, and am

    currently at Mazenod College in Mulgrave

    What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?Probable my Mum & Dad because they bought me a AFL membership

    so I can go to the footy each week to watch the HAWKS play, the best

    team ever!

    What is your goal for the next six months exercise or other?

    My aim in the next 6 months is to get under 21mins in a 4km run.

    Interests and hobbiesFooty, Cricket Tennis, Basketball and Nintendo Wii.

    What is your favourite session?Cardio is the best session because I hate using weights. The results so

    far have been that I can run further without stopping since I started SIL

    and I was doing the 4km run in 24mins and now I am doing it in

    22mins

    What results have you seen since started SIL?In my sporting commitments I have more endurance so I can run most

    of the quarter out when I'm playing footy and I have been playing more

    on ball this year, SIL has given me a lot of positives with the sports

    that I play as most of them require a high endurance level.

    Health & Fitness ArticleExercising healthily nutritional issuesWhy is nutrition important?Of course good nutrition is essential for health-as the saying goes, You are what you eat.

    This means that we should all aim for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and healthy oils.Trying to avoid red meat and unhealthy fats is also advisable. Processed food or take-away food is oftennutritionally poor due to the lack of fresh ingredients.

    You have a special need for good nutritionWhen you are exercising, have a health condition, or are under stress. The reason for this is that yourimmune system can be under pressure therefore putting you at a risk of muscle and joint injury. As youhave decided to take action on your health by training with Step into Life, you should be seriously looking

    at your nutrition and taking extra care of what is supporting your body to better health.

    What about supplements?People often think that it is time consuming and inconvenient to eat healthily. As a result more than 70%of the population regularly take supplements to boost their health and protect against illness. Even one ofthe leading medicine institutes in the world (Harvard Universitys School of Public Health) recommends amultivitamin as a great nutrition insurance policy. This message is particularly important for you as youare taking action to improve your health through Step into Life, and your exercise programme is puttingextra demands on your body than it is used to.

    Which supplements should I take?Although many people want to take nutritional supplements, there are some concerns. For example,

    going back to the advice of Harvard Universitys School of Public Health, experts warn that you should becareful when using supplements. High doses of vitamins and minerals can be dangerous. In Australia,the products on the shelves of supermarkets, health food stores and pharmacies are highly variable notonly in their ingredients but also the quality of these ingredients.

    YourHealth supplements - exclusively available from your Step into Life TrainerAs you have decided to take a positive action to improve your health by training with Step into Life, weare happy to exclusively offer you the best evidence natural health supplements available in Australia.These products have been formulated by a group of medical practitioners to deliver just the rightquantities of vitamins, minerals, fish oil and the clinically proven DONA glucosamine. These professionalonly products are not available over the counter in pharmacy, health food stores or supermarkets.

    Do I need to take the YourHealth Multivitamins?If you are pushing yourself to improve your fitness and wellbeing through your exercise programme withStep into Life then you need to be careful to support your immune system and protect yourself againstinjury. Improving your health is not only about exercise; you need to think about other aspects of yourhealth, such as nutrition. The YH Multivitamin has been particularly formulated to deliver just the rightamount of minerals and vitamins to support a health diet not too much or too little. When your body isunder physical or lifestyle stress you need to protect yourself as well as you can. This can ensure thatyou remain healthy and dont experience set-backs (such as an injury or a cold) that can stop your pushfor better health in its tracks.

    Do I need to take the YourHealth Enteric coated fish oil?The evidence is strong that Omega 3 fatty acids are good for

    your health. They protect your brain and your joints and canhave lasting good effects on your heart. When you areexercising these factors are particularly important. Gettingenough Omega 3 from fish is ideal, but it can be difficult andexpensive. Also unfortunately, some fish can contain heavymetals and toxic chemicals that they have picked up frompolluted environments where they live. The YH Enteric coatedfish oil has been specifically tested to be free of toxicsubstances and comes from the worlds leading manufacturerof fish oils. In addition to the concern about toxic contaminantsin fish oil products on the market, they also can taste verystrong or create unpleasant fishy burps. That is why the YH

    product is enteric coated which means that it has a specialcoating to help it pass out of the stomach before releasing thefish oil. Finally the YH Enteric Coated Fish Oil is the highestdose of Omega 3s available in Australia, in an easy toswallow capsule.

    Do I need to take the YourHealth DONA glucosamine?If you have any joint problems, or a family history of arthritisthen you should consider YourHealth DONA glucosamine.DONA glucosamine is the only clinically proven glucosamineproduct available in Australia, and has been proven to supportcartilage health, reduce pain and joint damage in people with

    arthritis. Specific clinical evidence is important becauseglucosamine and other natural products vary a lot on themarket. DONA glucosamine is the only one that is made witha special Italian patented process, and has been subjected tofull scale testing to prove that it works. It is available in 57countries around the world and gives you the security ofknowing that you are taking the best possible product forprotecting your joints. Because cartilage damage takes manyyears, if you do not do your best to protect your joints in lateryears it may be too late.

    Ask your trainer

    The YourHealth nutritional products are a great insurancepolicy for you when you are exercising on a Step into Lifeprogramme. You need to be especially taking care of yourimmune system and joints/muscles as you build your fitnesslevels, lose weight or aim for your own personal fitnesstargets. Speak to your Trainer to learn how the YourHealthsupplements can benefit you.
