A Fitness Program not just about Muscles and Sweat?
But about Heart and Soul? About Daring your Life to the next stage of it’s Evolution?

We are moving at a pace never before seen in the world’s history. We are bombarded with info from every possible direction, which leaves us wrestling with trying to sort through it all. And we’re not even talking about the frivolous non-essentials!

There are so many “important” things competing for our attention:

• It’s important to pay the bills, it’s important to spend time with the family, it’s important to sleep.
• It’s important to recycle, it’s important to feed the pets, it’s important to connect with our neighbours and communities.
• It’s important to be punctual, it’s important to eat healthy, it’s important to follow through.
• It’s important to get the oil changed, it’s important to get good marks in school, it’s important to leave a smaller carbon foot print, it’s important to save for retirement.
• It’s important to exercise, it’s important to take time for reflection, it’s important to be socially responsible.
• It’s important to practice, it’s important to drink water, it’s important to make our mark in this life.
• It’s important to be there for friends and loved ones, it’s important to take the garbage out…
• It’s important, it’s important, it’s important!

The thing is, many of us ACTUALLY are trying to do the right thing by attending to all of it. All at once.
Which we can’t. Not all at once.

The only way to extricate ourselves from such a state of paralysis is to prioritize what IS MOST important.

Only, there’s a catch. When in that state of feeling:

• Overwhelmed
• Paralyzed
• Frustrated
• Tired
• Demoralized
• As though we are moving through molasses…

It can be very difficult to figure out what is the most important.

“If only we could just get out of the insanity of it all. Keep at bay those unrelenting forces for a moment of reprieve, so we can get some perspective on it all…”

Mmmmmm… yeah… That would be nice… except…

Life is constantly in flux, at varying levels of intensity. Like a storm. The biggest storm we will ever face is LIFE itself.

And it comes at us… like a Hurricane.

It has us running for cover, as we attempt to find ways to ward off the seemingly negative impact we feel in it’s aftermath. That is where we begin to create our “escapes”.

Whatever fortitude we had to fight the Hurricane eventually gives, because it will always win. It is not meant to be beaten. We crack, giving way for our need to find a sliver of Peace, a moment of Serenity .

For many people, the practice of creating serenity in their lives is to actually SHUT LIFE OUT.

We often see pictures or videos meant to represent serenity. A room or space that has no disruption. There’s no sound or if there is, it is serene music. Everything that is hectic, intense and disruptive is shut out. Then serenity can be found.

Or conversely, sources of entertainment such as tv, movies and video games move beyond just entertainment and instead become the means to shut everything out so we can catch a breather.

The minute we step back out into life, however, to face the tests and challenges… our Hurricane, we are stressed, fatigued, frazzled and overwhelmed. And we want nothing more than to get back into the environment or activity that provides that safe haven of apparent serenity.

Apparent, because to avoid life is not true Serenity.

You see, while storms can cause great havoc and destruction, they also bring MASSIVE amounts of energy.

In the insanity of it all, it actually FEEDS us. As with any great storm:

• It is part of a natural rebalancing towards optimal homeostasis.
• The Hurricane is trying to get us to center.

But to harness the hurricane, we need to step within it. We must accept it. Acknowledge it for what it is.
Live WITH it, so we might benefit from all it has to offer.

Because true Serenity is not shutting everything off so that we don’t feel incapacitated or overburdened for a brief period of time.

True Serenity is having a sense of tranquility and perspective no matter what assails us.

If we are to find true serenity, and grow ever closer to that place where we are in optimal balance and fulfilling our maximum potential, the serenity must come from within.

It can’t be commanded and ordered around by everything that comes at us.

The insanity and challenge of the storm serves a purpose. It is a gift of the abrasive resistance we need to face and overcome in order to discover…

• The strength of our character
• The nobility of our existence
• The power of our purpose 
• The inestimable value of the gifts within us

To reveal those deeper levels of ourselves we must face the Hurricane of life.

We must find a place of Serenity within it all, that we might stand and SEE what it is we must see in order adapt, adjust and flow. To expand our awareness that we might discern the best direction to move in. To smile in the face of it all and accept the full force of that which is being offered.

Only then can we begin to make the great strides in our lives.

“Shane. I am IN!! This is exactly what I want… Hey. Hold on. Wait just one second. What? How did we end up here? Didn’t I come here to find out more about a fitness program?!! Now, instead, I’m amped to find the Serenity in the Hurricane of Life?!”

Remember what we said above about there being a catch?

Well that is where the Club Flow Evolution – Steel Club Workout Program, this “fitness program”, comes in.

Exercise programs tend to focus on just PART of the whole that makes us who we are. Yet each aspect of ourselves:

Mental – Physical – Emotional – Spiritual

…is interconnected, the strength of one affects the others. So while we can attend to each part individually, integrating all of them at the same time is of far greater benefit and much more efficient.

Club Flow Evolution – Steel Club Workout Program uses the signature method here at Dare To Evolve of applying your training program as a “vehicle” to support the development of the innate qualities within.

This is done by anchoring what you need to improve in your life to the action of your training. When you do this, you will watch a powerful source of energy be unleashed.

• The Club Flow Evolution – Steel Club Workout Program is not just about getting “in shape”, it is about applying a tool in a meaningful way to enhance the quality of your life.
• When you use Club Flow Evolution – Steel Club Workout Program, remaining consistent with your training will not be difficult, because when accessing your inner qualities, it will truly hold value to what is most important in your life.
• The consistency that you will have, will allow you to get in the best physical shape of your LIFE, for the rest of your LIFE!

That is why I created the Club Flow Evolution – Steel Club Workout Program, because in exercise, it doesn’t get more “hectic” and “crazy” than an off center weighted bat (Steel Club) swinging at, above, below, behind and all around you… as your body shifts, changes directions and moves, through your full range of motion.

While the workouts are shorter than the previous Club Evolution™ workout programs, they are no less challenging.

• You will progressively build to less and less breaks. IE:  Less opportunities to step back into the sanctuary of your “serenity room”.
• You will find the serenity under duress, as you face the storm of the Steel Club swinging around your head.
• With incremental steps towards increasing levels of sophistication, you will be forced to expand your awareness and remain present to get through it all.

Shane, has anyone told you lately you’re a training genius?

“Shane, has anyone told you lately you’re a training genius? I feel like I am reconnecting the toes to the fingertips in a way I have not done since the last time I was in a half pipe on a skateboard about 20 years ago. It’s tough being 44, the proverbial lost step is not fiction. Finding my current abilities is a lot of fun though, and this program, the Club Flow Evolution, of all your programs, I have them all, is really helping me find out what I can do and what I need to be mindful of.”

You are here to find the Flow within.

Hurricane Healing Mobility™ (HHM) is an incremental, 3 phase, 3 month training program that utilizes a Single 5 lbs Steel Club with all the movements specifically designed to release tension and open up the body, while laying down a foundation (or shoring up weak spots) in Steel Club basics that will provide a platform for launching into more sophisticated and challenging applications with greater effectiveness and benefit.

This program is ideal for: beginners to Steel Club Training, healing and recovery from injury, warm-ups, lighter intensity sessions and training while you travel.

Flow Force Endurance™ (FFE) is an incremental, 3 phase, 3 month training program that works with Double Steel Clubs (one in each hand).

Designed to make use of your 5 lbs and 10 lbs Steel Clubs(don’t laugh, even the burliest of men have been humbled down to 10’s) as you develop an iron grip, lasting muscular endurance that never tires, simultaneous cross-brain stimulation and humility.

This program is ideal for: laying down extreme connective tissue strength, athletics or activities that require consistent muscle activation over a prolonged duration and to challenge depth of motor coordination.

Cyclone Strength™ (CS) is an incremental, 3 phase, 3 month training program where we work with a single, heavy Steel Club (with sizes ranging from 15 lbs – 35 lbs).

Heavy single Steel Club work is an experience all it’s own. This is where big strength gains are made. But strength gains made through extreme range of motion, while moving heavy weight through heightened leverage disadvantage at close proximity. Talk about developing a heightened awareness of the space we occupy!

This program is ideal for: putting on muscle, activities that require repeated strength output or complex manoeuvring of equipment around your body in a confined space and to tap into the “RRrrrr!” inside.

You have created a program that is a work of art

“It’s quite a daunting task to undertake a program of this nature and have the word “Flow” in your program title. Because flow to me is being in the moment. Whether it’s washing dishes, playing with your kids, doing your work or workouts… It’s something I always treasure in music, when my band and I really “hit it”. It becomes almost like I’m not even playing music. It’s almost like the music’s playing me and everything’s wide open. And in a workout, in doing physical work, here’s another opportunity to connect to that. I feel that Coach Heins has just laid it out very intelligently, in 3 phases, where you can find your flow, where the mind and the body and the spirit are ALL in communication, and the breathing, the movement and the structure  are all integrated perfectly in that final phase, where you are moving with the grace of the Steel Club, the grace of your body in a beautiful flow. It works! To integrate all that together and to put it into a program for physical fitness is a tremendous accomplishment. You have created a program that is a work of art and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to be a part of it.”
