We did our first online ZUMBA on Facebook yesterday, 28 March 2020.

This is an edited video of the live.

 

The upper photo was taken by one of the participants.

I recommend using a PC, not a mobile like in the photo, because the mobile screen is too small.

If you are interested, please contact me.

Connecting with me as a friend on Facebook is necessary to join the live ZUMBA. Because the live is limited access only for people I can choose in my Facebook friends.

Lip Cosmetic Tattoo Final Session on the Gold Coast

Beauty, , ,

日本語ページ → ゴールドコーストでアートメイクリップ仕上げ

I got my lips tattooed at  Miki Beauty. Today was the 2nd session.

In case of Asian people having skin rich in melanin pigments, their lip colour looks dark.

They have to have bright tattoo colour on their lips as base colour first.

The colour in the 1st session was like this.

6 weeks after they get the first treatment, they can get their favourite colour in the second treatment.

Today I got my favorite colour, red like this.

The condition of the colour is too red at the moment, but it will gradually fade 50% when the scars heal.

I usually go to Miki Beauty to retouch my eyebrows and eyeline cosmetic tattoos.

Lip cosmetic tattoo is one of the things what I wanted to do.

I am a fitness instructor. I sweat, have showers, and have to fix my make-up many times a day.

These days I hate even putting on lipstick.

Therefore I’m so happy to have gotten what I wanted.

I’m not wearing make-up in this photo.

IMG_20200301_122755-01

I recommend the cosmetic tattoo with confidence to those whom always sweat like me and want to cut down the make-up time in their busy lives.

Dance and Fitness Centre on the Gold Coast

日本語ページ → ゴールドコーストのダンスフィットネスセンター

DFC- Dance and Fitness Centre will be newly opened in Broadbeach, the Gold Coast, on the 28th of January 2020.

It’s close to Pacific Fair, about 350m south from the tram station at Broadbeach South Station, or about 60 m south from the bus stop at Peerless Avenue.

There’s a café next to it and some restaurants nearby.

This is the entrance.

IMG_20200109_104226_resized_20200118_073612076

Going up the stairs, there’s the reception and a lounge. Going down the hallway on the left hallway, there is a gym area.

IMG_20200109_135711_603

The fitness centre has lots of fitness lessons fused with dances.

Sports clubs in Japan have a large selection of dance lessons and fitness lessons, but the sports clubs on the Gold Coast have only mainly fitness programs and dance lessons can hardly ever be found on their timetables.

I think that people on the Gold Coast may think dance lessons should be in dance schools and fitness lessons should be in sports clubs.

Basically the number of sports clubs which have studios is small on the Gold Coast and I cannot find any aerobics lessons and step lessons composed by choreography that are still popular in Japan.

Apparently the power of Les Mills Programs which originated in New Zealand seems to be strong here, so Body Attack may be the only kind of aerobics lessons.

In such situations, DFC- Dance and Fitness Centre is a unique sports facility.

The timetable is as follows:

89622965_2621792608051413_685023390808932352_n

My lessons are ZUMBA, STEP and HIP HOP.

My lesson atmosphere is like this.

Hip Hop is based on Hip Hop dance including fitness and you can enjoy simple choreography and train your body.

 

The first visit is FREE!!

Lip Cosmetic Tattoo on the Gold Coast

日本語ページ → ゴールドコーストのアートメイクリップ

My long awaited wish came true. Today I finally got a lip cosmetic tattoo.

In case of Asian people having skin rich in melanin pigments, their lip colour looks dark.

They have to have bright tattoo colour on their lips as base colour first.

6 weeks after they get the first treatment, they can get their favourite colour in the second treatment.

Today I got the base colour.

I usually go to Miki Beauty to retouch my eyebrows and eyeline cosmetic tattoos.

The scene in which the outer edge of my lips is done is cut out of the video, but it is the first step of the treatment and after that, the inside of the lips are coloured.

 

In the beginning, anesthetic cream is put on the lips. It worked very well, so I didn’t feel as much pain as I thought I would.

I felt a bit of pain when I was getting the outer edge of my top lip done.

Lip cosmetic tattoo is one of the things what I wanted to do.

I am a fitness instructor. I sweat, have showers, and have to fix my make-up many times a day.

ZUMBA with Mayumi

These days I hate even putting on lipstick.

And I am worried that my lip colour is gradually getting dark because of aging.

Therefore I’m so happy to have gotten what I wanted and can’t wait for the second treatment.

Miki Beauty has Microblading, eyelash extensions, eyelash perms and facial treatments as well.

Do you know sarcopenia?

health, Weight loss, ZUMBA, , ,

(Japanese page → サルコペニアって何？）

Sarcopenia is a symptom associated with the ageing process and loss of muscle mass and strength.

筋肉The main reason for muscle wasting is a lack of physical activity.

It can happen when a disease or injury makes it difficult or impossible for you to move an arm or leg.

As a result, it also causes obesity, lots of lifestyle diseases and broken legs because of loss of balance.

Particularly leg muscles shrink 1% each year after 30 years of age if we don’t exercise.

Then we will lose 40% of the muscles in our 70th.

Sarcopenia Check

If you can’t stand up from a chair with one leg, you might have sarcopenia.

Check the video below.

 

寝たきりWhy don’t you exercise and get muscles to not become bedridden in your future?

It is said that stopping taking caffeine improves our skin conditions and edema (swelling) subsides.

I feel I have got to sleep well and my skin troubles during PMS have disappeared.

 

 

Meanwhile we held Happy Halloween ZUMBA® at Southport Community Centre this year too.

This is the 4th time we have done so since 2015.

Thanks for motivating our lessons, all our members.

The reason why cardio exercises make us happy

health, Weight loss, ZUMBA, , , , ,

04When people feel happy, β-endorphin, dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin are secreted in their brains.

β-endorphin activates brains, strengthens immune systems, prevents from various diseases and enhances memories.

Dopamine makes people feel pleasures.

Oxytocin enhances memories.

Serotonin gives us mental stabilization.

0-03

Making a habit of exercising is the best way, to always be secreting these pleasure substances in our brains.

For more information → ZUMBA®

On the other hand, stress substances which are cortisol and noradrenaline are secreted in our brains when we have negative feelings like anger, jealousy, fear and anxiety.

Cortisol is a fundamental hormone for living bodies. However, if it is secreted too much, hippocampus which plays a central role in our memory circuits, atrophies.

Noradrenaline is a substance which causes living bodies to fight or escape from enemies.  To let them get ready for battle, it raises blood pressure, supplies blood all over the body and increases blood glucose levels, so that muscles are used immediately.

Noradrenaline is also a fundamental substance. But if it is secreted too much, there is a possibility that it will increase the risks of high-blood pressure, diabetes and brain haemorrhage etc. because it has the effect of raising blood sugar.

★★★7 benefits of cardio exercise★★★

1. Increased capillaries 30-50 times → good for skin, anti-aging
2. Stronger heart and lungs
3. Stimulated brain
4. Incresed bone density
5. Increased basal metabolism → weight loss
6. Promoted fat-burning → weight loss
7. Reduced stress / temporary relief from depression and anxiety

Our brains cannot change at once. By doing exercises constantly, we get to feel happiness gradually.
