Last year Les Mills submitted their videos to the IDEA video contest, and despite us campaigning and voting for their programs, they were sadly beaten by some very poor fitness program. This year the contest is on again, and it appears that Les Mills have submitted just one video this time with all the programs. But there's already one video up over 5000 votes and Les Mills are only on 676 votes  Vote at this address: http://www.ideafit.com/health_fitness_vide...ew.aspx?vid=183You can only vote on a video once per day, so come back daily and then we can all do it together!

You'll relax into the familiar sound of My Friend for the simple Tai Chi Warmup in BODYBALANCE 40. A mesmerizing Sun Salutations Track follows which enhances a breath and movement connection. Joss Stone provides a smooth and sensual accompaniment for the Standing Strength Track. At 8 minutes there's plenty of time during this song to breathe and lengthen. Track 4 is very graceful and tranquil but challenging with the new position, Twisting Star Pose, evolving into a series of twisting balances. Linger is the name of Track 5 and that's exactly what we do, with new options to deepen into the stretches. There are two Core Abdominal Tracks in this release - the first is Pilates based and lots of fun! The second is an instrumental version of Kanye West's Stronger. The only words are "harder, better, faster, STRONGER" - gutsy, motivating lyrics to match the moves. The Core Back Track is Yoga based and has a new feeling, using breath to elevate back strength when moving in Cobra Pose and Bow Pose. There are also two Twist Tracks. The first uplifting and the second, quiet and seated, bringing the focus of the class down before the release highlight, Track 9. Des'ree's I'm Kissing You is such a beautiful, internal, emotional song that it simply had to be heard in this class again!

| | I only attended Balance and Jam -- and dinner after :P Some photos stolen from Kristel and Albert. |
| | Training to teach the world's ultimate dance party workout was so much work -- and so much fun! Training dates: February 22, 23, and 25, 2008.
Much love to my batchmates in these pictures below, and to our trainer Arnold Warren. Special mention for the Cebu entourage, Andre, and Jay Venn for gracing our last day of training. :) |

Prospective instructors attend two training modules where they receive training in five key elements of successful instruction: pre-choreography, physical execution, instruction, performance and communication. Competence in all elements is imperative, as excellence will promote an instructor to an outstanding level.
 Excerpt from Arnold's email:
"This is your first step to hosting (“the world’s ultimate dance party workout!”) BODYJAM. Fun, exciting and educational activities await all of you in the 3 days that we will spend together."
OH YEAH!
I am just so thankful right now. It was probably not God's will for me to become a Jam instructor previously, but I think I'm more prepared for it now, with all I've been through in the past year (professionally and personally). Bring it on! Read about the audition.
The thing with work that seems like play is that we co-workers -- and friends -- don't get tired of each other's company. I loved every moment of it. It was worth the journey all the way to Mall of Asia. When Work is Play
