February 2012 Newsletter

Weight loss is the reason many people exercise in the first place. But it's certainly not the sole benefit of an exercise program.

The long-term goal of weight loss....is a long-term goal & people who have weight loss

as the be all & end all of their fitness goals will have trouble sticking with something if

they don't see results quickly.

Really, we should think about the level of functioning in the activities of daily living. This can serve as the motivation to keep you coming back for more.

About Us - Trish Busuttil, Owner

Welcome,To those who know me or have seen me around you will know that I am by no means a fit person and if I can be honest with you I dont think I really enjoy exercising - I lean more towards hate....hahaSo I hear you are wondering then why open a gym of all things? Well in response I wish to share with you some of our story.Shane and I have been married for 11 years and we have been blessed with 3 beautiful children. For most of our marriage Shane worked in the airline industry for Qantas and enjoyed his job. However in 2005 Shane began his studies in the fitness industry. and soon discovered his lifes' true passion (other than me of course...haha) in 'boxing for fitness'. His love and dedication to the industry was evident from the begining and so he worked hard for many years and put all his energy and focus into learning all that he could in all aspects of the industry - by doing so his passion only grew. Finally in 2006 he made the move to work full time as an instructor, PT and boxing coach.About 2 1/2 years ago Shane came to me with the idea to look for a place to open a small boxing gym - he saw the huge benifits boxing was having with his clients, how much fun people were having exercising again and how woman were being inspired to change their lives. He saw that through boxing training women were being empowered, were less stressed and were happy again; and that the men were getting a big health, energy and of course ego boost :) So there the dream began - to share this great feeling with everyone. It was also at this time that Shane met Erden of the Erden Property Group and with his full support the Healthy Buzz Boxing & Fitness dream began to take form.We dream of running a place where everyone is made to feel welcome, whether you are a gym enthusiast or a person who has never been to a gym before. Even if it has never occurred to you to join a gym or if it has but you have always felt intimidated (& trust me I know). I/we want to welcome you here. We will endeavour to provide you with the best service - a YOU focused service. We also want to be a service to the community. We have lot planned for the future and hope you will join us.I cant forget to mention that we could not be living out this dream without the full support and love of our parents & family, and of course it goes without saying Gods abundant blessings.We have a great team of trainers who are more like family to us, We are proud to be surrounded by our great and professional team and know they can help, support and encourage you on your path to reaching YOUR goals.I have shared with you a part of our story in the hope that you too would join our family here at Healthy Buzz. I/we look forward to meeting you soon.Trish

Karen

Karen Ritchie - Personal Trainer / Kids Fitness Co-Ordinator

Hey there! I'm Karen!Over the last couple of years I've turned my life around by losing 76kgs & also winning a long term personal battle against depression & anxiety. I did this by making the decision to take better care of myself by following a healthy diet & taking that very difficult first step towards well-being firstly by walking regularly, then joining my local fitness club & eventually hiring my own personal trainer to help me continue along on this journey towards reaching my goals. It hasnt been an easy journey by any means & it is very much, a lifelong one. Change doesnt happen overnight, but if you are doing it for the right reasons i.e. YOURSELF, Ive come to believe that nothing is impossible and its never too late to make a change in life no matter how big or small. By seeing the progress I was making & the accompanying positive change to my own outlook on life I thought, wouldnt it be great to be able to take what Ive learned along the way & use it to help others? So in 2010 I undertook further studies & became a qualified Personal Trainer and I continue to further my education through completion of professional courses & by keeping up to date with new and emerging trends and ideas in the health & fitness field. My training style has been greatly influenced by my personal experience & it relies on developing exercise programs that endeavour to keep my clients interested & motivated. I am very conscious of creating exercise programs that cater to all shapes & sizes & varying fitness levels while keeping it challenging & fun!My personal interests include boxing, martial arts, ocean kayaking, reading, watching favourite TV shows & movies & generally trying to make the most out of life! Hope to see you at Healthy Buzz real soon!

Some of the awesome benefits of group training are:

Encouragement: Even the smallest bit of encouragement from another group member can be all it takes to give you that boost to push a little longer.

Variety: Keep your body guessing. Different classes can offer a wider range of fitness benefits rather than sticking to one form of training.

Competition: As humans, just about every one of us has some sort of competitive streak. Competition is one of the best ways to squeeze out a persons absolute best effort at any given task.

Social: Training in a group can lead to great friendships as you may have had to endure tasks together that have tested you both physically and mentally.

Fun: Not all exercise has to be arduous. The idea is that you will be having so much fun that you wont even realise that you have done any exercise.

Group exercise is emerging as the future of the fitness industry. Gone are the days of going through an individual treadmill walk and weight circuit workout on your own. Now, greater results both physically and mentally are being found through the camaraderie and accountability in group fitness classes.

Making Boxing

SAFE

"Our objective is to change the perception that boxing is a sport of anger

and thuggery to a sport of skill, patience, humility and dignity."

Fun for

ALL AGES

LOSH MATTHEWS, 2001
What is Box'Tag?Box'Tag is an entertaining, competitive, yet harmless contact sport. The concept has been developed to make boxing safer and allow people of all levels to experience the thrill of competing in a boxing ring without the fear of injury.How does Box'Tag work?It involves two opponents of equal fitness and skill level, competing in a boxing match with the use of protective equipment and sensor technology. The sensors fitted into the equipment (vest, gloves and headgear) measure each scoring hit and also register the impact of each punch. The data is transmitted to a score board that displays the results in "REAL TIME". Unlike traditional boxing, Box'Tag has LIVE scoring throughout the bout, involving the crowd and creating an exciting atmosphere.How is Box'Tag safe?Each opponent is fitted with a specially made lightweight vest, protective head guard with solid nose bar and foam filled gloves. All equipment features wireless sensors that will record the impact of every punch. The scoring system encourages hits to the body as opposed to the head. Any hits that are registered as too forceful (threshold can very) will be deemed a foul and may lead to point reductions or disqualification.This enables the focus of Box'Tag to be based around speed and skill rather than the power of each opponent. The idea is to outscore your opponent in a fast paced, adrenalin filled boxing contest. The safety equipment and the point scoring system ensure that no injury or harm is inflicted on either competitor.Who can participate in Box'Tag?Box'Tag is a sport for people of all ages. It is a high intensity fitness exercise that requires basic boxing skills, speed, footwork, discipline and patience. Fitness and boxing skills are required before participation. A Box'Tag Training course is compulsory for all those wishing to register for upcoming competitions.Men, women and children of all ages are welcome to get involved in Box'Tag. It is a sport that is SAFE, fun and addictive for the whole family.Box'Tag is incredibly popular especially with women as it has all the fitness elements of boxing training, however, the fear of injury has been removed. It is safe for kids of all ages as they are protected from heavy contact and learning vital skills such as speed, patience, tactics and it is incredible for their self confidence.Where is Box'Tag available?The team at Strongarm developed the concept of Box'Tag as a means of spreading boxing fitness to the mass community. Many men and women enjoy the training of boxing classes; however they never experience the thrill of competing and testing their own ability inside the boxing ring. This is generally because of the concern regarding facial and head injuries. Boxing is the ultimate form of fitness training and Box'Tag is the revolution in boxing safety.Beginner courses will be available at Healthy Buzz Boxing & Fitness, Derrimut which covers all aspects of health, fitness, self confidence, skill, balance, technique and ring craft.Scoring Points in BoxTagIn BoxTag, an impact to the front or sides of the vest of the opponent yields a score of 1 point, whereas an impact to the head guard incurs a 1-point deduction. The vest is fitted with over 16 wireless sensors that cover an area between the shoulders to thenavel.Heavy impact punches are deemed a foul. Sensors will register the force of the punch and the referee will warn the offender a maximum of 3 times throughout a bout before disqualifying this person.

CHRISTMAS SURVIVAL GUIDE
Christmas is a time of joy and family celebration. Many of our favorite memories come from time spent with Mum baking holiday cookies or Dad getting stuck into a spit or bbq. Although Christmas represents serious temptation for a trainee, following these tips will help you succeed instead of "starting over" after the New Year.Get Moving When you're busy wrapping gifts, last minute shopping, cooking, entertaining and don't forget about the party hopping....what about your exercise routine?......Christmas is a time of celebration not a time to be a slack arse with your training. Get in the gym for a calorie busting, christmas pudding smashing 30 min boxing session & feel less guilty about your "festive" eating. Each boxing class will burn in excess of 300 calories!Holiday PartiesIf you don't eat Aunty Jane's home-made creamy lasagne, you feel rude but you know just looking at it will put a 2kg on each thigh. Here are some tips:1. Make sure you grab a quick snack before the party starts, so you won't feel famished.2. Decide ahead of time what you will eat & how many drinks you will have. Make up for the extra "bad" calories through the rest of the day. eg have some salsa on your baked potato instead of sour cream and butter.3. Make your own healthy foods to bring to the party. Call it your "contribution". At least you'll know there is something there that wont blow your eating habits.The annual office party. Politics are everywhere and you know that you have to eat everyone's dessert to ensure the friendship through the next year.To get around it, volunteer to be a judge of this year's dessert contest. Judges have just one bit of each treat before deciding which is best. Not willing to judge? Take one spoonful instead of a full piece.Lunches Around this time of year, everyone invites you to lunch; friends, family, co-workers. From heavy Italian sauces to tacos, you know your good heating habits are going to go downhill before you walk in.Stay away from anything that says: Creamy, Crispy, or Fried.
