"We need the comrade heart That understands, And the warmth, the living warmth Of human hands." As a fitness instructor 1 am witness to the different kinds of personal stress of participants in a class. Mty lack of selfâ€"esteem, frustration with lack of body mechanics, lack of coâ€"ordination, lack of rhythm and peer pressure, all happen in any given class. And what makes this difficult to work with is the current thought olmypeqieâ€"&gt LETTERS society. Fitness leaders who believe in the holistic wellâ€"being of participants are faced with the challenge of trying to "highâ€" touch‘*‘ society. The fitnress class can be a perfect setting for this, as we try to discover the joys of good health, both physical and mental. The primary components of an exerâ€" cise class can only be enhanced through the use of "social pairing." Flexibility, through the use of partners helping to increase the range of motion of any major joint (such as helping a partner lift a leg higher), can be developed beyond the capabilities of an individual working alone.

The timing of partner work is essenâ€" tial. Many participants are not ready to work with a partner, often a stranger, when they first join an exercise class. The worries of "Do I smell? Can I keep sweaty?" are all initial reactions not to be taken lightly. The stage must be set before pairing people off. The first step is to see how people interact with each other .

No easy solutions when it comes to human behavior Parliament has decisively dealt with the idea of Capital Punishment as a tool to control crime. Now, as promised in the House of Commons, we must look at other ways to improve the system. But, there are no simple solutions when it comes to human behavior. We cannot simply say: "lock them up and throw sight «of a wery important fact. It is, =.~l.-“.mvukh. result, the same principle works also for a much larger result. + away the key!"

It is, merely, that we wind up accomplishing what we set out to accomplish. That‘s so simple it‘s almost stupid. _ For a small result, you may make up your mind to buy yourself a new outfit, and you end up owning one. First comes the defirite decision, followed by the Our system is not perfect and changes are needed. But it is not all wrong, either. So, as we make changes, let‘s assure that we do not "throw out the baby with the bath water."" We need to look at all parts of the system and keep what is working and change what is not. People are understandably anxious this is small. Now, say you want to build and own a beautiful home. The same principle applies, but it‘s going to take more time, thought, planning and effort. The only difference is that the time and effort necessary to bring about the result will depend on your belief that it can be done . If a person decides to earn $20,000 a year and ends up earning it, does that person realize that this same principle will also work for $50,000 or $100,0007 ‘The amount is limited only by the belief of the person concerned.

But there is also many misconceptions about what the system does, and what we can reasonably expect it to do. We can not just look to the professionals of the system to solve the problem. The problem of crime exists in the community and by and large so does the solution. The cold hard reality is, even if we do lengthen the sentences, most inmates will be returning to our communities. If they do so without the will or the means to be responsible citizens then we will deal with them again in our courts. The fact of the matter is that many can come out worse than they went in.
