Member of the month
Please remember during this time of the year, a
little bit of patience is required while we
welcome our new 1st year students to Lincoln
University. For some of our students it will take
a while to adapt to our booking systems of
treadmills and cross trainers. Thank you for your
understanding. Please note the newsletter will
only be published every 2nd month.
Yours actively

Brent Morgan came to me in April last year fully
committed to completely changing his lifestyle so
he could be fit and healthy for years to come.
Despite a number of set backs Brent has
demonstrated amazing tenacity to persevere with a
healthy (if not restrictive) diet and huge amount of
exercise in the gym and road and mountain biking.
Of all the members I have seen at the Rec centre, I
believe Brent will be the most likely to succeed in
the long term at changing his life for the better.

Special Tribute Class
Always a smiling face
Ruth Paton
One of Lincoln Recreation Centre’s greatest members.
After a huge battle with Cancer, Ruth Paton passed away just before
Christmas. In memory of Ruth we held a tribute class for her. An outstanding 47 people
attended which was fantastic and there was a sea of red and purple as people turned up in
Ruth’s favourite colours. Sally, Linda and Jenny got up on stage to pay tribute to Ruth by
team teaching her favourite body attack track with Linda and Terry.
Ruth’s daughter Kelly and heaps of other members who don’t usually do body attack
attended which was great to see.
The class was accompanied by a slide show of Ruth followed by ice blocks and drinks.
An amazing woman who will be greatly missed.
Once in a lifetime, you find someone
Who touches your heart
But also your soul.
Once in a lifetime you discover someone
Who stands beside you
Not over you.
Once in a lifetime you find someone
Who loves you for who you are
And not for who you could be.
Once in a lifetime If your lucky you find someone
As I have found you.
Thank you for all the baking, meals, e-mails, texts, phone calls, cards, visits and flowers.
All my love….Ruth x x x

Personal Training - is it for me?
You might wonder what the benefits would be if you invested in a PT. It is different for everyone, as we all are at
various stages of fitness, strength, flexibility, motivation and happiness of where our current health and wellness is
at. We also have, of course, various goals that have different time frames on, and importance rating of if we
achieve them or not, and therefore what that means about ourselves.
What would it feel like to complete a training session where you were guided through your exercises (yes even
the ones you really don't like and would leave out if you worked out alone!!!) and each repetition was accurate,
and the time you invested was well worth each minute because you were accountable for how hard you worked,
stretched, lifted, ran. We all work harder if someone is watching us, we start to workout like we really mean to be
there. That we are serious about the goals we have set, and do mean to tick the box.
Your PT will also help you celebrate your achievements as like many things we do we forget where we started and
therefore loose context of how much we have actually achieved. As this in itself helps to motivate you to come to
the next session, to keep believing in what you have achieved, and that you will get you to were you want to be.
The coolest thing about training with a PT is that they are waiting for YOU, they have a cool session planned that
they know you will like (or not but they will help you make it through) they are prepared to help YOU achieve
your goals, and will remind you of these, they help you to be accountable for what you believe in. Most of all they
are fun, I know!! hard to believe that doing exercises you might not like is enjoyable but once you start with a
trainer you will find many benefits that you didn't even realise where important to you.

Start today, have a conversation with Paul and Natalie, consider that YOU too can have training sessions with a PT.

Lifestyle
Don’t sweat the slipslip-ups!
Fallen off the fitness wagon? Here’s how to get back on track.
You skipped your workout then power-lifted three servings of lasagne into your mouth
instead. It happens. It’s frustrating. But it does not mean that you’ll never stick to
anything, that you should throw in the towel on your dreams and settle for a life of
mediocrity and failed ambition instead. A temporary lapse is not a sign of failure, nor is it
the first step to a full-scale relapse. Almost everyone experiences slip-ups when trying to
break old habits or adopt new ones, whether quitting smoking, starting a diet, or
committing to a workout routine. A lapse is a natural part of the process of change
Falling down didn’t prevent you from learning to ride a bike, of course. But if you had
browbeaten yourself as a no-good failure, it might have. “What people think about
these lapses seems to make the biggest difference in how quickly they get
back on track,” People who don’t recover from lapses are people who have a blackand-white attitude about it. They think eating one chocolate biscuit means they’ve failed.
People who recover quickly are people who don’t think one mistake is a total failure.
They don’t turn it on themselves. They look at the situation that caused it instead.
A lapse can actually be an asset, if you take the right approach. A fall can not only
motivate you to try harder, but also provide clues about what you need to succeed.
Build in a Bounce-Back Plan
You’ve identified all your temptations and stresses, and devised ways to minimize their
impact. Then, wham! You get sick. Or your dog dies. Or your workload doubles. Even
with the best strategies in place, some unforeseen event will likely rise up and sabotage
your goals. Accept that fact, and plan for it.
“We do not have 100-percent control over the environment or over our bodies’
fluctuating rhythms and hormonal levels. We’re biologically wired to react to things,”
says Jack Henningfield, PhD, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioural
sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a vice-president for
research and health policy at Pinney Associates. “There are things you can’t control. Recognize that as part of being a person.”
And take the time now to create a bounce-back plan for when it does. It may seem counter-intuitive to envision lapsing when you’re trying to
focus on successfully reaching your goal, but it’s an important part of staying on track. You need your plan developed ahead of time because
often when the slip happens, it’s too late to develop a strategy.
