DHP’s Body Overhaul Challenge 2014
The start of February 2014 saw the commencement
of DHP’s 12 week Body Overhaul Challenge.
The Challenge was the first in what will be periodical programs
to be run by the DHP Personal Training Department.
The challenge took 36 members through a series of educational
seminars, and personal training sessions.
It certainly wasn’t an easy task, and I’m sure for most there
were some tough times.
Let’s face it changing your habits by developing new ones
does not always come easy.
But the results at the end of the period are OUTSTANDING
to say the least!
Our male runner up was Beau Devine with Craig Althaus taking
out the winner’s title. Our female runner up was Suzanne
Bell with Sue Althaus taking out the other winner’s title. It was
truly amazing to see a husband and wife not only change their
whole lifestyle together but to also be crowned the winners of
the DHP Body Overhaul Challenge together.
In total the whole group lost an incredible 171.40 kilos.
Collectively the whole group also lost 971.50 centimetres.
We have to say that we are immensely proud of the achievements
of this group. The dedication shown was simply inspira-
tional and we sincerely hope that we have made a change
to the lives of these members; changes that they can take
away and use for the rest of their lives.
Here are some of the comments from members who took
up the challenge:
1. “Thanks for the support I got during this challenge
from the gym”
2. “There was so much to learn and so much knowledge
given.”
3. “Loved the challenge feeling pumped and motivated
to continue”
At DHP we are dedicated to making a difference, so if
you are keen to take the first step call the team at Dolphins
on 38803729 and put your name down on our waiting list
for details on our next Body Overhaul.
Yesterday’s hero can return today
DON’T know about you but I still feel
like I did when I was in my 20s, it’s just
when I look in the mirror reality hits
back.
For some of us, it’s when you start to
play with the grandkids and the following
day you can’t move or playing with
them is just not an option any more.
That’s when your body reminds you
that you are not as young as you used to
be. So is this it? Is this what we are
happy to live with? We are old and we
have to act old?
No, I say, stepping down from my
soap box and getting a little less dramatic.
I work with chronically ill people
with chronic heart and lung disease and
I can tell you now we all benefit from
regular exercise.
Whether it’s a knee, hip replacement,
chronic disease or you just haven’t
moved for a while, you can and will
benefit from regular exercise.
Now I am not suggesting a marathon
nor am I saying to get those footy shorts
or netball skirt out from mothballs. I’m
suggesting exercise suitable for you at a
pace you can manage and slowly
improve on. Yes, you do have to consult
your doctor first, but once you have the
all clear there is a plethora of choices in
fitness classes and programs you can
choose from nowadays.
So for those of you who have fitness
facilities at work, start today not
Monday, today.
Engage a personal trainer, walk in the
pool or on the treadmill. Ten minutes of
exercise today was more than what you
did yesterday. Most of you will be goalorientated
so set a goal i.e. (an easy one
first) I am going to be able to walk up
the stairs without having to talk in sign
for a month. Work out with a friend, and
motivate each other. Make a challenge
at work or with a group of friends to be
fitter, healthier and slimmer. Celebrate
the positives of “dropped two sizes in
clothing” etc. These challenges work as
a starter, but for any long-term fitness
program to work it has to be maintained.
Remember, to put more quality in your
life it’s a fulltime commitment. For
those who are saying I can’t because I
have chronic back problems, joint
replacements etc., my answer is yes,
you can. There are so many exercise
choices you can access nowadays. Ask
your doctor for advice on the nearest
Heartmoves, Lungs in Action, Vietnam
Vets, Lift for Life program near you. So
what are you waiting for? There are
places to see, golf courses to play and
life to be lived … as the Nike brand says
‘Just do it!’
Dolphins Health Precinct has a wide
variety of classes suitable for over 50s.
