February Newsletter  Hi Everyone Good to see you all survived the holiday season and are looking forward to getting back to healthy eating and regular exercise. We love the challenge of getting you back to fitness after a break so make sure you book for a goal setting session and plan where you are going. Here is something to get you thinking. A study found that 76% of people that wrote their goals down, set action commitments and sent their progress reports to a friend achieved significantly more than those who were asked to simply think about their goals. Your best friend is your personal trainer so give them a call and get achieving for 2012! In this newsletter you can check out our Kickbutt group classes and the Fit Together Triple Pack and learn about the health benefits of Hemp Oil. How about joining Richard and signing up for the Orewa Beach 10km in April?  January Fitness Challenge Richard set the early pace with his 44secs for 20 Burpees and then went to enjoy a week at the beach. This was a tough challenge especially after a break for most people and it is good to see a new champion on the leader board. Bruce Henderson won the January event with 20 Burpees in an incredible 34 seconds beating Richard by 10secs!  Richard has set a new challenge for February so check out the Challenge board.   Join Richard in a 10km Rich has already signed up for this year’s Orewa Beach 10km which is Sunday 15th April. You can walk or run the event and there is also a 5km event. So put your name up on the notice board and check in with Rich and Linda if you would like help putting together a running programme.   New Timetable for Pilates  It is great to welcome back Abby to the Studio and we have a new timetable for 2012.Saturday Morning 7.30-8.30am - You can’t help but feel good after an hour of stretching, strength work and stomach work. Wednesday Evening 7-8pm and spaces are filling fast so book ahead for this class.Tuesday 9.10am class is back on 14th  February . Our Mat Pilates is great value at only $60 for 6 classes and FREE to Studio members.  We keep our class numbers small so you get hands on help from Abby.

A few small changes to our diets can make a huge difference to joint pain, condition of hair and nails and most importantly our heart health. Several InShape members are enjoying positive health benefits from adding Hemp Seed Oil to their diet. Hemp Seed Oil has a perfect balance of Omega 3’s and 6’s which studies have shown help lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure. Key fatty acids found in Hemp Seed Oil provide long-term support and maintenance of arthritic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. Check out the notice board in the Studio. If you would like to know more about how it can help you, talk to Shirley. She has samples available – and stock at excellent prices – either in cold pressed oil or capsules.
