We love to go a wandering ……..
We love fitness, we enjoy socialising, we like adventures, so a big motivation to keep fit for many Y Striders is to enjoy travel. This year we have seen couples and groups heading off overseas to Vietnam, China, Iceland, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Japan, India, England, Canada, Scotland, Paris and in Australia to Busselton, Albany, Sydney, The North West, country New South Wales and Tasmania. In the coming year many have plans and bookings for a bike barge trip on the Danube with various after trips in Europe and UK, our club annual long weekend down south and 40 already down to repeat the Bondi to Manly 80Kms/7 day walk in Sydney.
All this activity and adventure separate to our Y Striders walking club requires a good level of fitness to enjoy the trips, but also life at home with friends and family. That’s why so many turn up to our various trainer lead warm-ups before walking, running or strength sessions. Of course, this accompanies the equally important social aspect of coffee after and the forming of various friendship groups that play mahjong, bike ride, swim or go to shows. There seems to be something for everyone to get involved in when you meet like-minded people through Y Striders. If you are looking for some motivation and friendship though shared activity check our website and 4 week free trial at https://ystriders.org.au/membership/4-week-free-trial/

And the winner is……

Y Striders gathered and warmed up with trainers at Quarantine Park on Sunday for our annual Anne Rinaldi Memorial walk/run from Bicton along the river towards Fremantle. Many of the runners including Eva, Kaye, Bill, Terry and Jenny K did the whole 12kms. Others were happy with walking a shorter distance – with a stop at Cool Beans for a reviving coffee :-)
Sharing and socialising is such a big part of Y Striders and Ros generously offered to again host the post walk brunch, tea and coffee. Volunteers supplied an abundance of yummy food choices so we were all happily chatting and eating when it was time for president Jennie T to present the Anne Rinaldi award.
Our four trainers discuss and choose the person they feel has worked to achieve their own personal best throughout the year. Their choice this year was Jenny K, one of our founding members, who set a goal for herself to build up to running again after a break devoting more time to her work. She inspires others to set their own targets and work steadily towards their goal. Congratulations Jenny K!

The fresh air and sunshine will provide you with much needed Vitamin D; it will boost your respiratory system, improve your brain and central nervous system function, relieve stress and improve sleep quality.

We celebrated the club's 28th birthday today with a lovely lunch at Sittella Winery. Our destination was a mystery which we found by following Graeme's car rally instructions which proved to be quite challenging.
The winners of the car rally were Joanne, Mark and Leonie. Second place went to Kevin, Pam and Ros and third place was Sandie, James, Bronwen and Louie.
Ken also announced the winner of the June Monthly challenge - Fran.
Everyone agreed this was another great event and thanks needs to go to Ann, Elizabeth and Graeme for organising the day.

10 out of 10
Was the unanimous vote by fifty Y Striders at the end of our annual long weekend away. For the last 28 years our club of walkers and runners have visited many of WA’s country towns, (usually in the south west), walking part of the Bibbulmun, Cape to Cape or Wadandi tracks.
This year, in Busselton, we walked 16.5kms from Dunsborough to the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. There were extra walks from the Lighthouse to Sugar Loaf Rock, the famous one-mile long Jetty, and naturally the coffee shop in nearby Vasse.
It was beyond exercise, more a social connection. There were meals at Tonic by the Bay, Amelia Park Lodge Restaurant, gourmet pizzas delivered to The Hub at RAC caravan Park, and casual get togethers over a barbeque.
Many extended their stay from the usual 3 nights, so there were extra opportunities for long lunches at wineries and breweries and a chance to shop in Dunsborough and Busselton.
The success of these annual gatherings is attributed to the dedicated volunteers within the Y Striders club. These individuals meticulously plan and organise the walks, social activities, and accommodation options, ensuring an enjoyable experience for all participants. Their efforts exemplify the club’s ethos of teamwork and community spirit.

Y Striders - Stepping Out and Stepping Up!
Four times a year Y Striders take their Saturday 7am session Off Site for a bit of variety and fun. In May we head to Manning Park in Spearwood in preparation for our annual long weekend away at the end of the month, (which usually involves extra hiking and bushwalks – and lots of socialising). The 192 steps at Manning Park offers an extra work out for cardio and legs while the walk around the lake suits those less inclined to the climbing challenge. Our trainer Jack makes sure we all go through warm up stretches before we head off to exercise in the beautiful Autumn weather, and the thought of coffee and breakfast at nearby Coco & Boho is a good incentive to complete our exercise.
Some of us were feeling a bit leg sore a few days after tackling the stairs and were wondering how we managed 7 consecutive days on the Bondi to Manly walk in Sydney last October, where every day saw many, many more steps than Manning Steps. But that is one of the benefits of Y Striders, setting personal and group goals and working and training together is more fun. A few more weeks of preparation and perhaps joining the Ramblers group on Tuesdays at Manning Park should have us ready for our walks down south :-)

Did you know walking is medicine?
I was recently shown an interesting article by an American physician and author, (Dr Mark Hyman), about walking as medicine and I thought it was worth sharing as it is relevant to our general club philosophy and our current 30day club challenge. So the article is quoted below.

“Just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week has been linked to a 19% lower risk of heart disease. It helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. It supports joint health by keeping them lubricated and strengthening the surrounding muscles, even reducing arthritis-related pain. It activates fat-burning pathways, helping with weight management and lowering dangerous belly fat.
And when it comes to longevity, walking is one of the simplest things you can do to extend your life—those who take around 8,000 steps per day have a 40–50% lower risk of premature death.
And the benefits don’t stop at the body—walking is also a game-changer for the brain.
Regular walks reduce stress hormones like cortisol, increase feel-good endorphins, and stimulates BDNF, a protein that helps neurons grow and protects against cognitive decline. Some studies even suggest that brisk walking can be as effective as antidepressants for mild to moderate depression!
We’ve been conditioned to believe that fitness has to be extreme to be effective, but that’s simply not true. Walking isn’t just exercise—it’s a form of preventative medicine. It’s accessible, free, and one of the most powerful ways to improve your health, one step at a time.
So, are you getting your steps in today?”

It was a very windy walk this morning. Christine, Karen and Joanne took part in the Memory Walk, raising money for dementia research.

Something to Celebrate
Y Striders were cordially invited to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Troy Park (Attadale) Association, an event that promised to be a delightful affair in perfect weather, set against the backdrop of the river. As the sun set, it cast a warm and inviting glow over the festivities, making it an ideal evening for such a momentous occasion.
The instruction was to wear white, to bring their own drinks and be prepared for a fun evening with an abundance of food - fresh oysters, paella and a laden grazing board of cheeses and meat.
Y Striders, footballers, cricketers, netballers and their friends arrived and soon the area was filled with laughter, joy, and a sense of community as everyone mingled, shared stories, and created new memories.
As the evening progressed, the celebration reached new heights with the arrival of a Kylie tribute singer plus a jazz pianist. The performer captured the essence of Kylie Minogue, delivering a spectacular performance that had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along to the iconic hits. Her energy and charisma were infectious, and she brought a sense of nostalgia that resonated with the audience.
Macca from the Troy Park Association and his crew are to be complimented on organising an amazing and enjoyable night. The perfect weather, combined with the captivating performances and the delicious food, made the 50th anniversary of the Troy Park Association an unforgettable celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

Give Them Enough Rope ……
and Deb, one of our trainers, will find a myriad of exercises we can do with it - lifting overhead, squatting, pulling, flipping up and down, (boy that Battle rope is heavy!) – all sorts of variations to make our exercises fun.
That’s the thing about Y Striders. We have trainers to help us warm up, cool down and watch we are doing the exercises in the right way to avoid injury and learn to look after ourselves. And we all have a laugh while doing it. Keeping fit is easier when you are meeting like-minded friends and sharing activity that you know is good for you but that you may struggle to get out of bed and do by yourself. Why not give it a go?
