What is Pilates?

Pilates is an innovative and safe system of mind-body exercise using a floor mat or a variety of equipment, that evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates. Pilates brings an increased awareness of the body, good posture, improved balance, and helps you learn control-- which in turn helps you become more graceful as you move. Pilates dramatically transforms the way your body looks, feels and performs. Pilates focuses on building core strength without excess bulk, in this way helping you build a sleek, toned body with slender thighs and a flat abdomen. Pilates also improves flexibility, agility, and range of motion. It can even help alleviate back pain!



In summary: Pilates is a safe, sensible exercise system that will help you look and feel your very best. No matter what your age or physical condition, Pilates can be adapted to work for you, it is amazing when used for rehabilitation, in preventing injury, and increasing sports performance. Developing your ‘Powerhouse,’ ie your core, ie the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine, creates a strong foundation from which one can achieve new levels of strength, control and balance. From weekend warriors to professional athletes looking for a competitive edge-- Pilates can help you achieve heights you’ve never reached before.

Want to appear Taller? Bespoke Garments can help!



Did you realize that getting Bespoke garments-- suits, trousers, shirts, jackets, etc-- can help you appear taller, slimmer, and more fit overall? Fit is the key to looking your best, and off the rack suits aren’t going to help. You need an amazing tailor like La Elite Fashions to help you look your best! Looking your best often leads to increased confidence and career success-- having a well-fitting suit (or three!) is worth every penny to our highly satisfied repeat clients.

Here are a few simple tips to consider if you’d like to add height to your look, if you want to appear taller:

Again, focus on FIT. A trim fit on a shorter man will increase the look of height verses a loose-fitting, baggy suit. When things are baggy, they look too big on you and thus you will appear smaller overall. The traditional rule is that the length of the jacket should match the length from the pants hem to the bottom of the jacket-- but if you’re a shorter man, try a slightly shorter jacket, this will create the visual effect of height.


 
Streamline your outfit, you want the viewer’s eyes to go UP towards your face because an upward motion makes you appear taller. Wearing colors in the same spectrum from the outside in creates a slimmer silhouette that implies height.

As far as patterns go, if you’d like to appear taller than vertical stripes are your friend. Ideally, you are looking for a slimmer stripe, especially if you’re a smaller build. This is because a wider stripe may make you appear wider rather than taller. The same is true for accent pieces-- vertical stripes on shirts, ties, or socks will look best on you and make you look your tallest. Selecting a diagonally striped ties will also work in your favor as an uplifting element.

You may want to choose a suit jacket or sport coat with a higher buttoning point slightly above your natural waist, in this way your upper torso will look a little shorter and your legs a little longer resulting in creating a taller silhouette.

Healthiest Summer Foods


 
T8 Fitness offers a wide-range of equipment solutions which assists with exercise, rehabilitation, Pilates, yoga and more. As the sole distributor of ToeSox and Tavi Noir in Hong Kong, T8 Fitness is here to ensure that you have comfortable, stylish and practical fitness gear for all of your workout needs!
Summer is here and keeping food light, fresh, and convenient is the key to a fun, healthy day!

There are so many delicious foods to enjoy in summer, and so many of them are naturally good for you.

Watermelon
Refreshing, juicy watermelon is one of summer's most hydrating foods. Not only that, but it's pretty red hue means it's a concentrated source of lycopene, the same heart-protective compound found in tomatoes.  

Gazpacho
This cold soup is Spanish specialty and loaded with nutrient-packed summer produce like tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell peppers. You'll get a ton of vitamin C and potassium in this refreshing summer soup.



Grilled Fish
Grilling is one of the healthiest ways to prepare fish, as well as many other summer delights. White fish (like halibut) is a great source of lean protein, while oily fish (like salmon and sardines) will give you heart-healthy Omega-3 fats. (Most people get way too many omega-6 fats and not nearly enough omega-3’s, so this is a GOOD thing!) Fish cooks so quickly that it's a snap to make on the grill. For extra variety, try it in fish tacos, kebabs, or in a sandwich.

Berries
All those seeds means that most berries are pretty high in fiber (1 cup of raspberries has 8 grams, while 1 cup of blueberries has 4 grams). Plus, they're low in sugar and calories, but their yummy flavor makes them a treat to be savored. Enjoy them in smoothies, with yogurt and granola, or simply eat them on their own.

Avocado
Creamy avocados get their luscious texture from heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. They also have a good amount of folate and fiber. Spread these healthy fats onto toast with a sprinkle of salt for breakfast (we recommend adding poached egg for an even tastier meal), or dice it onto salads and burritos, or enjoy it in guacamole.

Business in Hong Kong and China is much easier when you work with the right partner. Contact Primasia Corporate Services to get started!

Imagine this, you’ve started your business and with all the effort you invested, it is now thriving! You are starting to grow and hire more and more employees… and learning what a challenge it is to not only hire the *right* people, but also to *keep* the right people on your team. Motivating your team consistently can be one of the most exhausting parts of being a leader, sometimes seemingly impossible. But it is possible and all you have to do is say two words: Thank you --, Workers frequently feel overlooked and unappreciated, which leads to unhappy employees and increased turnover. By recognizing and thanking them for their efforts they’ll Whereas just recognizing and thanking them for all they do they will become happy employees who will be motivated to succeed, leading to better work output and productivity.

You don't need to spend a lot of money or time to see a big impact. There are a few very simple ways to show your appreciation. Keep reading:


   
Reward with a personalised gift
First things first, talk to your employees, listen to their interests-- not only will this win you motivational brownie points but it will give you some inspiration to reward them with something they’ll REALLY appreciate. For example if your team member is really into fitness then a gift card or fitness item like a yoga mat might be very much appreciated. Finding the right reward for the right person goes a long way toward building rapport, which will motivate them to keep producing their best work.

Leave random handwritten notes recognizing their hard work
Email, Whatsapp, and text messages are all well and good, but a handwritten note always feels more personal. Do you remember the last time you were left a handwritten note? Were you pleasantly surprised? Handwritten anything is becoming a thing of the past, and even if it's just a simple sticky note, your team will notice you took time out of your day to say “I see your hard work, thank you”. This is really simple tip, but it's also very effective.

Recognise Hard Working Individuals
Even the most bashful employees want to be recognized for their hard work. If they are truly shy, you might want to skip publicly forcing them into the spotlight, but name-dropping them and their accomplishments at conferences, meetings and networking events, or on your company’s social media accounts, may be one way of acknowledging them publicly, but still modestly.  

There are many, many more ways to thank your team and colleagues-- but in the end it boils down to spending a little time with them to understand what makes them tick and what they find meaningful. This may take a little effort, but just think how much more effort you would expend trying to replace them if they became unhappy and left. The time and effort to build up your team offers a big payout-- less turnover, happier people, and a strong bond between you and your team.

The 2019 Stonewall Pride March



2019 is an extraordinary and historic year for the LGBT+ community, as it marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which are well known as the origin of the modern LGBT+ movement. We at Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022, and we hope, the world, will be watching as the 2019 Stonewall Pride March begins-- showing our strong support for not only the first, but the largest Pride celebration in the world! LGBT+ Pride events are designed to inspire, educate, commemorate and celebrate our diverse community. And none of this can happen without you! Your support in all things LGBT+ make a difference-- from the smallest ripple in the pond comes significant change in the world. The Stonewall Riots, which began nearly 50 years ago on June 28th1969 prove this-- when 500 people gathered for a “Gay Power” demonstration in Washington Square Park, followed by a candlelight vigil in Sheridan Square. Now NYC Pride has continued this proud tradition by hosting the event in various locations throughout the city each and every year following, culminating in the now 50th celebration in which an estimated 4.5 million people will be there, including 115,000 marchers (about 67,000 more than last year).

   
The 2019 Stonewall Pride March will take place in New York City on Sunday, June 30, 2019, beginning at Noon. Click to learn more and meet the 2019 LGBT+ NYC Pride March Grand Marshals.

As we honor Stonewall’s 50th anniversary, take a moment to reflect and celebrate the milestones achieved in the LGBT+ movement over the past fifty years -- made possible due to the actions of the trailblazers who first stood up for their rights. The first time in history that people from the LGBT+ community fought back against injustice-- a raid on a local gay bar. The Stonewall riots are the birth of the gay liberation movement, and it would do us all good to take a moment to remember, be thankful, and continue their good work.

About us:
Hong Kong is the first Asian city to host the Gay Games, the world’s biggest international sporting and cultural event for all, in 2022. Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 will be an empowering experience for LGBT+ athletes and supporters from across Asia, in addition to welcoming visitors from around the world, to participate in a variety of sporting and cultural events.
