For the 1st time, NewAge & Energii worked together in promoting the Tai Chi Kettlebell training during the Beauty & Healthcare Fair 2010 organized by Lianhe Wanbao. The launching program performed by NewAge & Energii gave a good & energetic welcome to the guest of honour - Health Minister, Mr Khaw Boon Wan.
We were honoured to have our Health Minister, Mr Khaw Boon Wan to give his precious signature on one of our Kettlebells as a collectable item and marks a milestone in our Tai Chi Kettlebell.
During the 2nd day of the Tai Chi Kettlebell workshop, participants were exposed to the basic movements of kettlebell training coupled with Tai Chi movements as part of the main exercise component for cooling down.  They were also be taught on the importance of adopting good postural habits alignment for optimal physical activities, thus strengthening their core muscles and enhancing quality lifestyle. The uniqueness of Kettlebell training promotes functional stability and helps build strong bones which is very important in prevention of Osteoporosis. Combined with the gentle & graceful movements of Tai Chi, it forms a perfect blend of mind & body while strengthening the bones and heart.
		Our oldest participant was an 80+ year old lady who displayed good physical attributes and showed that Tai Chi Kettlebell training is suitable for participants of all ages that Active Aging is possible to live life to the fullest through sound exercise.

ALL children in primary and secondary schools will spend more time on physical education (PE) in eight to 10 years' time.

Primary 1 and 2 pupils will have half an hour more of PE each week, while the rest will get an hour more. This will raise the minimum time spent on PE to two hours a week, compared to the current one hour a week.

This increase will be implemented in phases, in step with the building of indoor sports halls in schools, the implementation of single-session classes in primary schools and the recruitment of more PE teachers.

SINGAPORE - The labour movement wants to get its workers into shape, literally.

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) Women's Development Secretariat (WDS) and the Health Promotion Board (HPB) will start encouraging healthy lifestyle practices among employees, since cultivating healthier work place practices will translate into "higher productivity, a reduction of unnecessary health-related costs and a stronger morale among employees", said WDS director Halimah Yaacob at the International Women's Day celebrations at West Coast Park.

The initiative will be rolled out in April 2010.

A National Health Surveillance Survey conducted by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in 2007 found that obesity has increased steadily among adults aged 16 to 69 from 5.1 per cent in 1992 to 6.9 per cent in 2004.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Conducted the Tai Chi mass morning workout for the staffs from Schlumberger during their Health Day held on Monday, 7th December 2009. Shared on the importance of adopting good posture and health benefits of exercising regularly. Response from the crowd was great & overall they are able to follow the Tai Chi workout with me giving guidance on stage.

It was a good sharing session indeed where I went on to elaborate how to adopt the correct postural alignment by applying the Tai Chi principles. It was good to see staffs from all levels to their top management participating in the Tai Chi workout together. Many of them were even interested to join our Tai Chi classes after the workout. How encouraging!!! Despite it was a short morning workout, the Tai Chi exercise did prepare them for a fresh start day at work.

It is truly wonderful to see many corporate management caring for their staffs' welfare by looking into their health benefits and encouraging them to exercise regularly. Understand from their management that all the staffs will perform a 15 min warming up exercise everyday before they start work. Such good practice should be shared with more people around the world.

李显龙总理说，最有效降低医药费的方法就是通过维持良好的生活习惯，保持身体的健康。

According to state run media, 33,996 Tai Chi enthusiasts braved the summer rain to put on the display outside the Olympic stadium affectionately dubbed as the 'Bird's Nest'.

自从“万人舞太极冲击吉尼斯纪录”的消息被媒体披露以后，将于8月8日全国首个全民健身日在奥林匹克公园外举行 的这一盛大活动引起了很多人的关注。昨天（5日），市体育局副局长李丽莉介绍了该活动的最新筹备进展情况，参加表演的将有3,4000人，年龄最大的65 岁，最小的仅7岁，其中还有200名残疾人代表。另外，影视明星任贤齐、张震和吴京等也将在方阵的头排表演。

作为全国首个全民健身日启动仪式北京主会场的内容之一，由北京武术院和市社会体育管理中心组织的万人太极拳方阵表演活动将于8日在“鸟巢”外的奥林匹克公园庆典广场举行。本次表演的拳法是简化24式太极拳，时长5分49秒。

“在表演过程中，吉尼斯世界纪录总部的认证官员将核查人数、表演时间和表演者动作 的连贯性和准确性，表演必须做到无一失误。”北京武术院院长程春和说，“万人太极拳表演的构想是今年2月诞生的，从构想到最终落实仅用了不到半年时间。我 们希望通过这次表演，体现北京太极拳活动的规模和水平，并在民众中形成学习太极拳的高潮。”据统计，北京坚持练太极拳的健身者有10万人左右。

Sports Massage Therapy is designed to stretch and loosen muscles, improve blood flow throughout the body, facilitate the removal of metabolic wastes resulting from exercise or inactivity, and increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissue.

Sports massage can reduce pain by improving tissue flexibility & reducing muscle spasms & trigger points. In addition, massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller, into the brain and nervous system. Massage therapy provides a relaxed state of alertness, reduces mental stress, and enhances capacity for calm thinking and creativity.

Deep-sea Fish with Transparent Head

& Tubular Eyes

MBARI researchers Bruce Robison and Kim Reisenbichler used video taken by unmanned, undersea robots called remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to study barreleye fish in the deep waters just offshore of Central California. At depths of 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet) below the surface, the ROV cameras typically showed these fish hanging motionless in the water, their eyes glowing a vivid green in the ROV's bright lights. The ROV video also revealed a previously undescribed feature of these fish--its eyes are surrounded by a transparent, fluid-filled shield that covers the top of the fish's head.

Unity Wushu Kiddos performance during the school year end prize presentation. With Jing Yi performing 1st time for her individual Tai Chi routine, this is considered great given she only been given less than 2 weeks of practices. 

Overall performance by the Wushu Kiddos has received tremendous applause from the parents, prize winners & teachers who were present on that day. Well done kids!

The MOM Song

Classical song sang in a very funny & humorous manner to reflect how mommy really feels......

While It should be a great experience to be engaged with fitness exercise and able to reap & enjoy the benefits of exercise in gym, some gym operators such as True Fitness & California Fitness tend to be too hard sell on their gym membership and very sales oriented. Their after sales service often lack the flexibility & customers' oriented. I've actually attended a free trial session with True Fitness on their gym & group exercise at Suntec City through their telemarketing.
