Kickbike : Serious Training,Serious Fun!
Developed as a cross-training device for elite Nordic
athletes 9 years ago, the KICKBIKE is arguably the best
aerobic workout available. An adult version of the Scooter,
that is safe to use, manoeuvrable and a brilliant way
to tone all the right muscles, and target core strength.
Even if your workout is the gentle broad-walk stroll,
you can still expect to stretch the Hamstring, strengthen
and tone your abdominals, lower back, quadriceps and
calf muscles, as well as trim down and firm up your
legs and buttocks! Not bad results from just having
a bit of fun.
KICKBIKING, generates a low impact foot strike, as your
body weight is principally supported by the stationary
leg. This significantly reduces shock to the knees and
lower extremities. Injury prevention is further enhanced
by not fixing you to a specific position, which reduces
muscle stiffness, strain and the chance of injury. All
you need to do is remember to change legs regularly.
Kickbike is easy to ride and has good control.
The Brisbane AFL Lions, a Queensland Surf Ironman and
some of Queenslands Athletic coaches have recently purchased
Kickbikes for specific targeting of the glute, hip flex,
and core stability strength.
So forgo the nip and tuck, and kick your butt into shape
on a KICKBIKE. It's the simplest, safest and most enjoyable
way to reduce fat and improve your fitness!

Saltcrystal Lamps:Natures Own air Ionisers and Purifiers!
saltcrystal
lamp [soltkrist'l lamp] noun also known as salt lamp
or saltlamp. Beautiful, millions of years old, salt
rock crystal, known for its ability to ionise the air,
thus enhancing your well being and improving your health.
Nature's own air ionisers and purifiers. A special type
of rock crystal and an ideal and unique gift!
Our well being and our efficiency are considerably dependent
on the quality of the air we breath. Air consists of
many electrically charged particles -- positively, negatively
charged or neutral particles.
Many people are aware of the benefits of negative ions
on our health. Negative ions are essential for our health
and well being. The freshness of the air after a thunderstorm,
on a mountain top, or by the seaside, are due to the
high concentration of negative ions in the air. On the
other hand, the reduced well being one feels in highly
polluted areas, artificially air conditioned offices,
or when certain hot dry wind conditions exist, are usually
due to an unduly low negative ion balance (and therefore
high proportion of positive ions).
Salt crystal lamps are known to improve the quality
of the air by producing negative ions which are good
for our health.
Use the lamps in your office, by your bedside, in your
meditation room, in the baby's room, as a night light
in the hallway and just anywhere you want to create
a clean serene environment.

LeaderFocus Key 3: The Capacity of Building Relationships!
Lee
Stemm- Leadership + Performance Coach
The
capacity to develop close and enduring relationships
is one mark of a leader. Unfortunately, many leaders
of major companies believe their job is to create the
strategy, organisation structure, and organizational
processes. Then they just delegate the work to be done,
remaining aloof from the people doing the work.
The detached style of leadership will not be successful
in the twenty-first centaury. Today's employees demand
more personal relationships with their leaders before
they will give themselves fully to their jobs. They
insist on having access to their leaders, knowing that
it is in the openness and the depth of the relationship
with the leader that trust and commitment are built.
Bill Gates, Michael Dell, and Jack Welch are so successful
because they connect directly with their employees and
realize from them a deeper commitment to their work
and greater loyalty to the company. Welch, in particular,
is an interesting case because he was so challenging
and hard on people. Yet it was those very challenges
that let people know that he was interested in their
success and concerned about their careers.
At the heart of leadership is the leader's relationship
with followers. People will entrust their hopes and
dreams to another person only if they think the other
is a reliable vessel. Authentic leaders establish trusting
relationships with people throughout the organisations
as well as in their personal lives. The rewards of these
relationships, both tangible and intangible, are long
lasting.
Often you will hear from leaders these kinds of comments
around this topic of relationships. "I don't want to
get too close to my employees because someday I may
have to terminate them". Actually, the real reason goes
much deeper than that. Many leasers - men in particular
- fear having their weaknesses and vulnerabilities exposed.
So they create distance from employees and a sense of
aloofness. Instead of being authentic, they are creating
a persona for themselves.
Enduring relationships are built on connectedness and
a shared purpose of working together toward a common
goal. Every person has a life story they want to share
with you, if you are open to hearing their story and
sharing with them. It is in sharing our life stories
that we develop trust and intimacy with our colleagues.
Leaders who are open with people, even when sharing
bad news or offering critical feedback, establish that
sense of connection that builds commitment. Trust is
build and sustained in the depths of these relationships,
and commitment is strengthened so that any obstacle
can be overcome. When pressures mount, relationships
build on connectedness actually grow.
Tips to Build Relationships
1. Value your people - This is your attitude towards
them
2. commit to your people - This is putting aside some
of your time
3. Integrity with your people - This is your character
and consistency
4. Standard for people - this is your role modelling
and vision
5. influence over people - this is your leadership

The Triangle Pose(sanskrit -Ttrikonasana): with Sunshine
Yoga & Health!
BENEFITS: " Your side muscles are exercised (ie.
hips, abdomen, ribs, shoulders, neck). Your abdominal
muscles and intercostal muscles (between the ribs) are
stretched and alternately contracted, with relaxation
between. The result is increased circulation of blood
and nervous energy in this area and thereby, strength
and tone of the abdominal wall and thoracic cage occurs.
>The waist is exercised which assists with slimming
this area if there is sag or fat.
>The organs lateral to the spine (liver, kidneys,
colon and spleen) are vitalised due to the alternate
compression, extension and relaxation of the trunk.
This can improve digestion and appetite.
> The intervertebral discs become more elastic. Most
of the discs, especially those in the lower spine, are
exercised. This posture creates a more elastic spine.
>Blood vessels serving the kidneys are massaged.
The kidneys are better able to perform their function
of keeping the blood clear of toxins.
>Adrenal glands are stimulated. By promoting the
adrenal glands your coping mechanism with acute stress
will be improved.
>Your nervous system has increased tone with this
pose as your spine is lengthened and stretched. There
is an increase in life force energy to the abdominal
organs. The result is a general increase in vitality
and well-being.
MENTAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS:
>Practice this pose with an awareness of consciously
drawing energy and joy into your spine. Draw volumes
of energy down from the heavens through up fingers that
are reaching to the stars, and draw energy in volumes
up from Mother Earth through your fingers that are pointing
downward. You then become a receiving station for energy
of the Universe - a feeling of being poised midway between
Heaven and Earth - and resting this Universal energy
in your heart centre (midway).
ASSUMING THE POSITION:
>Your legs are wider than hip width apart - your
right foot turns out to the right.
Your right heel aligns with the centre of your left
foot.
>Your hips are aligned.
>Inhale and raise your arms to shoulder level, palms
facing down.
>Exhale and move your trunk directly to the right,
with your right arm moving down toward your leg then
rest your hand on your knee, your calf or your foot.
>Do not compromise the stretch by twisting your hips
- in other words, keep your hips aligned and move directly
to the right. It does not matter how far your hand goes
down your leg. It is a side bend, not a forward bend.
>Your left arm extends up, directly toward the heavens.
>If your neck is not tight, you can turn your head
upward to your hand, looking to the heavens. If you
neck is tight, look straight ahead or look down.
>Whilst holding this posture, continue to breathe
freely. If you hold your breath your muscles will tighten
- you are looking for softness in the stretch and your
breath will assist you to maintain ease of this pose.
>Hold only for as long as you feel comfortable without
strain. If there is strain or pain, come out of the
pose immediately and rest.
>Perform this pose to the other side.

Lotus
Birth - a ritual for our times
Lotus birth is the practice of leaving the umbilical
cord uncut, so that the baby remains attached to his/her
placenta until the cord naturally separates at the umbilicus
- exactly as a cut cord does - at 3 to 10 days after
birth. This prolonged contact can be seen as a time
of transition, allowing the baby to slowly and gently
let go of his/her attachment to the mother’s body. .

For
a Good Cause: Why Support the Abused Child trust?
It is a sad fact that thousands of Queensland Children
suffer some form of child abuse every year. But the
Abused Child Trust can help. The Trust provides prevention
and treatment programmes for families experiencing,
or at risk of, child abuse or neglect. These programmes
offer the specialised help of a social worker, psychologist,
occupational therapist, speech pathologist and nurse
to assist individuals and families to resolve the issues
that maintain destructive patterns of thought, feeling
and behaviour - helping them break the cycle of abuse.
The Abused Child Trust needs your assistance to continue
this work.
