There are so many people, it seems, who are so unhappy with themselves or their lives that when they see someone else who is positive and happy and spreading encouragement, support and experiencing personal growth, these same people can’t help but “cut down” or “have a go” at them. Often I get so many amazing people asking for advice about this very issue and I am so disappointed it raises its ugly head time after time! Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the goal of life to live it as well as you are able to on all levels, and to be the very best person you can be - not only for yourself but also for others? Sometimes I wonder how some people can be so quick to attack others without really taking the time to know the person they are having a go at! Or worse for something one of their so-called “friends” told them “happened”. Worse is when you get particular individuals who lead the way in encouraging others to join in their misguided causes. These followers are too weak to stand for anything at all and become entwined in something that was never anything to do with them in the first place. Before you “judge” others by jumping on the next bandwagon of insults being thrown around the social media platforms, take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself if youtoshould your own Be kind others be andfocusing be the on person insecurities, rather than attacking youfears knowand you failures are capable of being. others forLindy facingxxtheir own. Until next time, Be kind to others and be the person you know you are capable of being. 6 | Nov/Dec 2012 | oxygenmag.com.au oxygenmag.com.au | Nov/Dec 2012 | 7 Oxy Contributors Amanda Steer Amanda Steer is a fulltime police officer, Les Mills RPM instructor and sponsored athlete with Musashi Nutrition.

Ideal Bodies Online – Ideal Body Blueprint Here’s some good news ladies: After helping thousands of women get slim, trim and fit, Oxygen magazine contributor and worldwide fat-burning expert Sue Heintze has created a brand-new fat-burning program. The “Ideal Body Blueprint” is designed to help any woman who is willing to follow the step-by-step plan to quickly and easily lose unwanted fat. It works regardless of someone’s age… their size… or even their current body condition or shape. It even works for mums who want to lose any left-over “baby weight” too! This breakthrough program helps women release unwanted stored body fat… add curve-enhancing muscle… and minimise new fatty weight gain. You don’t just lose unwanted fat… you keep it off and replace it with sexy new curves instead!

Activate your back Muscles The Swedish Posture brace will assist you to activate your back muscles; it works as a reminder for you and your muscles where to work for a good posture.

Lindy, you inspire me and let me know it’s possible for a ‘big’ girl to slim down enough to compete in bodybuilding comps. Lesley, I hope to be as fit and attractive as you are when I’m 55 years young. 1 year and 4 months ago I saw pictures of me at my work Christmas party and was truly horrified - I knew that I was a bigger girl but I didn’t think I was that fat. The next day I joined the first gym I walked into and got an exercise program written up for me. I loved doing the weights but unfortunately I was still eating the same crap foods and so no weight was shifting, the worst thing was I thought I was eating healthy. Two months later my friend got married and after I saw the pictures from her wedding I nearly cried… then got really serious about losing the weight. I changed my eating plan to the crazy no-carb diet that my trainer insisted I eat, and increased my training to 5-6 times a week. I saw results and went from the high 80s to between 66-70kg. I kept seeing Oxygen magazine on the shelves but I kept thinking ‘Oh no, those bodybuilding mags aren’t for me’ and walked past. One day I picked the magazine up and was hooked. I loved the informative, basic articles without the ‘fluff’. I eventually got sick of eating the no-carb diet with enough protein powder in it to make it unsafe to stand behind me with all the protein farts I was doing (lol) and I reintroduced carbs into my diet. Inevitably I gained weight when I did this but now everything seems stabilised and I am on my way to losing it plus more, and I have Oxygen mag to thank for that. Whenever I need inspiration or advice I look at my small (but getting bigger) collection of Oxygen magazines, which travel with me everywhere, and I get the advice I need most times. I am getting married at the end of this year in India and thanks to Oxygen magazine I am well on my way to being bride beautiful. Thank you so much Oxygen mag, Catherine. PS After meeting all you wonderful ladies I was inspired to do a bodybuilding routine at the gym and now have the dream to become an Oxygen mag covergirl and maybe one day compete in a bodybuilding comp. PPS Lindy, after meeting you my friend’s words were “she seems so warm and caring”. Thought you would like to know :-) Catherine Dear Catherine, WOW, what an amazingly heartfelt letter! I was so pleased to meet you and I know ALL the Oxy girls would have felt the same way as me! I’m SO GLAD you decided to eat carbohydrates again; they really are NOT the devil that so many people make them out to be! I for one eat starchy complex carbohydrates ALL the way to comp and for me, getting lean without them is impossible if you want to stay sane! Plenty of people have trained their bodies to run on fats, but these same people often binge on carbs and their weight fluctuates drastically. Not everyone does this and I’m sure I’m yet to meet someone who is lean and also sane by using the no-carb method, but I’ve seen way too many people with serious issues after they’ve cut complex carbs out of their diet and it’s scary what they have to go through to balance things back out again! I’m so pleased for you; it’s so great to see you feeling so positive about where you’re headed! Yay for you ! Lindy xx Lindy and the Oxy team, Lia Drew’s article blew me away (and just quietly it made me have a little cry). It brought me back to all the memories of the training, knockbacks and ups and downs I went through applying to be a police officer; after 2 years I finally got there! Lia is an inspiration; you know you’re a strong, beautiful and determined woman when you keep getting up after being knocked down so many times. Women like her deserve recognition, this is one of my favourite articles you’ve put in the magazine since I started reading. Good work Oxygen - now I’m going to stare at Alicia Marie’s abs for a minute and get my butt to the gym, ha. Jess xx PS. guys thanks again, it gives me the motivation to train super hard at work and in training to be a sports model this year for the hope that one day I will grace the pages of Oxygen Xx Jess Hey Jess, We loved Lia Drew’s story too! I’m really happy you loved it too! She’s an incredible lady with such a great attitude and we totally agree she deserves as much recognition as possible! People like Lia truly inspire us all to be better people and to NEVER give up! Keep following your dreams and go for it! MAIL 12 | Nov/Dec 2012 | oxygenmag.com.au Hi Lindy, I love your message to always FIND YOUR MOJO! ‘REMEMBER YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, THINK AND DO’ - the food we choose, the thoughts we have and the actions we take are all working to shape our bodies of tomorrow, so make sure your choices are good ones, that is, if you want to achieve the body of your dreams! WOW - What a knockout, thank you Lesley Maxwell from all the Contours girls at Greenslopes, your front cover and story (in the August/September 2011 edition) has motivated and inspired us all, you’re truly inspirational and the epitome of good health. No more excuses from any of us, you prove that age is just a number but it is up to us to believe in that motto and live it to the full. As a trainer at Contours I remind the girls that you must do extraordinary things to be extraordinary, besides… who wants to be ordinary? Thanks for also informing readers about the number one sports bra in Australia Juno by movingcomfort.com.au - it is the best! I can always rely on Oxygen magazine to be informative, modern and up to date. Looking forward to trying kettlebell workouts with the ladies at the gym to shake things up and the curry peanut soup - is the recipe of the week at the gym - yum! Helen Hi Oxygen Magazine, My name is Emma Wilson and I featured in the body transformation section of the March/April issue of Oxygen. I just wanted to email and say thank you for the wonderful privilege it has been to be featured in such a fantastic and quality publication. I felt so proud and honoured to be in the magazine knowing its reputation within the fitness industry. Thank you again and look forward to seeing the Oxygen stand at Filex in April. Thank you, Emma To whom this may concern, Every now and then my husband and I treat ourselves with a new mag of our choice (or we hunt the second-hand shops), mine is Oxygen and his is Track Surf. I live too far out to get to a gym so buying a mag is the next best thing. I do as much as I can do from home. There are a lot of exercises for the front and back of the legs and my question is, what can I do from home that will help burn the fat on the inner and outer of my legs? Mainly the inner as the front and back of my legs are starting to take shape. Thank you I look forward to your reply, Denny H Emma, We’re so happy you were happy with your feature! You did an amazing job and should be so proud of yourself! It’s not easy to set a goal and then follow it through! Congratulations once again and we hope you enjoy many more fitness successes ahead!! Lindy xx Hi Denny, It’s hard to help without seeing a photo of you but from what you’re saying it sounds like you need to look at your nutrition a little more closely and really get a leg training program that specifically targets your inner thigh. There’s a great exercise for your outer thigh which is hard to explain, but if you get yourself into a push-up position and make sure your knees are not touching the floor and hold yourself straight that’s a good start. You’ll need to lock your core in place, then try to get one leg out to the side while keeping it in line with your torso. It’s really hard but I’ll try to get a workout together for you to show you what to do. Hold it out there for a count of 5 seconds and then bring it back into the original position. Then repeat 10 times on both sides. Hope this helps. LBOX Hey Helen! A HUGE hi to all the ladies at Contours Gym!! We all love Lesley; she is such a beautiful soul with a heart of gold! We all love her to bits and she is one of those ladies whose personality is infectious! She’s in every issue these days and we’ll keep her for as long as she’ll have us! If I can look half as good as her after having children, then I’m going to have a happy life (and husband) hahaha Lindy xx Ed. oxygenmag.com.au | Nov/Dec 2012 | 13 Oxy Pub Page All in the Family> Upskill your workouts for results! “ Stupidly I made a remark to my buddy that resulted in three things: a slightly heated verbal exchange, a gymbased showdown and a really large piece of humble pie! “ T here I was innocently enjoying a brilliant display of skateboarding along Santa Monica Beach when I struck up a do-or-die conversation with Miss Oxygirl herself! (You can guess who that was!!!) Being an action man I marvelled at the dudes on their skateboards in this highly specialised park. They were flying around the pool shaped-pits that are specially designed to push their skateboarding to the limit. I was in my element watching the tricks and spills as these pros went crazy in the pit. Stupidly I made a remark to my buddy that resulted in three things: a slightly heated verbal exchange, a gym-based showdown and a really large piece of humble pie! What did I say? I must admit that upon reflection, it is even more embarrassing to admit that I, publisher of thousands of fitness mags, let it slip that whereas I could see the art in the sport we were watching, I could not see the same level of skill in the average gym workout! I think I suggested that resistance training was easy to master and a tad boring at times. Hmm… it was another “Why did you say that” moment! So the Oxygirl I was with, let’s just say her name was Lulu, chewed me out somewhat! Then she dragged me to the closest gym and unleashed a workout that required discipline and skill. You know what? I could hardly do any of the exercises. Damn, I had been exposed for what I truly was! A gym hack! | Nov/Dec 2012 | oxygenmag.com.au The soul of Clean Eating Magazine is consuming food in its most natural state. It is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to an improved life – one meal at a time. Beautifully presented and drawing on fresh dietary theories, Clean Eating is brimming with nourishing, easy-to-prepare meals to suit your modern lifestyle. FITNESS I was shown a specialised training program known as Time Under Tension. I had never trained this way before and I could hardly do one exercise, then Lulu… (OK damn it, it was Lindy… as if you guys hadn’t worked it out!!!!) Lindy then showed me how to breathe, stand correctly and make your muscles do the work in correct form. She was a pro showing a rookie how to eat humble pie! By the time we did the thigh workout I just about collapsed and realised I had not continued my knowledge of working out but rather I had just hacked away at an old workout pattern that had no doubt plateaued years ago. The lesson here is to keep learning, keep changing… and avoid skateboard parks! Well, getting serious, we at Oxygen are committed to providing the latest advice and if you have the ears to hear, you will upskill with each issue. The workout content and nutritional advice is the best available and we hope you enjoy every word. If however you need skateboard lessons… I am your man!
