Hartamas, many events and experienced learnt and gained.

Blood…Sweat…and Tears…Is that All?... So what are we made of…Men

and women of steel? Off course not, we are humans, with passion that runs
deep in our hearts, our soul.

Pressure makes diamonds

“You can produce results to the extent that you sense and you believe you can
go beyond where you’ve not gone before,” “The power of the subconscious mind
Lorraine Kan is limitless … you just have to learn how to move into that realm.” “Coz when
GXC – Hartamas the going gets tough, the tough gets going.”

Here is to welcome Greg who was away for a while in our neighboring country. Go to have you back.
…And yet, people come, people go for a good cause, we like to wish Adrian a good save journey to a foreign
land far away. All well wishes to you and your new venture.
Enjoy the newsletter as much as I enjoy putting it together.

That is an AMAZING newsletter!! I can't believe how

AWESOME your newsletter is and how much FUN your
relaunches are!!!
The newsletter is friendly and engaging, motivates the
instructors, while still giving them recognition for their
involvement and hard work!

The pictures showcase how great the relaunches were and show
how professional your instructors are too!

Studio decorations, and the UV lighting effects in your RPM

cycle studio look great, and the flyers inviting members + guests
to the relaunch are so edgy and cool!

Whoever put the newsletter together did a good job and

deserves big thank you! All of the staff at Les Mills Asia Pacific

Thank you for inspiring me as a Launch Coach to work harder

on getting all of our licencees to step up to the high standards

 The Scoop About a BANANA.... who knew???
After reading this, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way
again!

Bananas Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined
with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-
minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's
leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can
also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions,
making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from
depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas
contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to
make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose
levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so
helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the
perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration
has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to
reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school
were helped through their exams this year by eating
bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost
their brain power. Research has shown that the
potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making
pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help
restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the
problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to
make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.
The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the
honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates
your system.

Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try
eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid
morning sickness.

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the
inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing
swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work?

Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to
gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients,
researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The
report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our
blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep
levels steady.
Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its
soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without
distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces
irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the
physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for
example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool
temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):

Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer
tryptophan.

Smoking:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they
contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body
recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Strokes:
According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eating bananas
as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps
normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to
the brain and regulates your body's water
balance. When we are stressed, our
metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our
potassium levels. These can be rebalanced
with the help of a high-potassium banana
snack.

There it was ... a beautiful
table for two set up on t
The table, draped in
gardenia white linen was
elegantly ornamented with
some wild flowers, a
solitary classy candle,
bread in a basket with
virgin olive oil and vinegar.
At that particular moment
a PEACOCK walked by our
table that added
something unique to that
special moment
For more of Adrian’s proposal stories, check
out his blog
http://www.adriansnook.blogspot.com
With a deep inhale of fresh oceanic air, I
popped the question ... I asked if she would
allow me to make her the 2nd happiest
person alive. With dreamy eyes ...
witnessed by the crescent moon above, she
gently nodded and said softly ... yes. I then
proceeded to slip the solitaire into her
finger. It was B E A U T I F U L ... just
beautiful.
It took a couple of seconds before it hit the
both of us that we were in fact now
engaged to each other.
CONGRATULATIONS
for making the big step in life.
Adrian you are “D” MAN…
Romantic…Romantic…
So…who’s next? Share your romantic
moment.
