Caught in the act!!!

Facial expression implies a revelation about the characteristics of a person, a message about something internal to the expresser. It is a nonverbal communication and the expression usually implies a static painting that expresses a mood or capture a sentiment, thus this is a very important factor for a Group Fitness Instructor. Group Fitness Instructors are always exposed to the public especially when they have to do a mass aerobics session.




We have to put on a smile or an expression that represents a fun and an enjoyable time although we are in a situation or woke up on the wrong side of the bed




most of us will lit up the minute the music starts



Smiling and laughter helps to promote release of a “feel good” group of hormones called endorphins

Adilla demonstrating her moves with an expression which will than inspire the participants to follow her




Ada having a great time which will make whoever following her workout having a great time too



When an instructor smile or lit up during a workout, the instructor will not only promote health and beauty but will also send a positive message that can potentially change someone else's mood for the better.

An instructor will appear confident and capable when she smiles




Smiling is a natural drug, it is also contagious



When an instructor smile and have a fun expression, they will lighten up the atmosphere and change the moods of others. This will make everyone happier. A smiling and fun person brings happiness with them.


The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger.





A fun expression will prevent us from looking tired and worn down.




Nothing has more power to elevate a mood than the impact of a genuine smile and a fun expression




Various studies have shown that smiling and laughter can boost the functioning of the immune system. This may help to reduce your risk of developing everything from the common cold to chronic diseases such as cancer. Could there be a less expensive medicine than this?

Walaupun ada diantara mereka ini berkedudukan tinggi akan tetapi saya dapati mereka begitu humble and begitu minat sekali dalam bidang yang jauh berbeza sama sekali dari profession mereka.




Pada hari pertama lagi saya dapati mereka memberi kerjasama yang amat baik walaupun pada mulanya mereka agak malu







Saya berasa begitu rendah hati bilemana saye melihat mereka terlalu humble dan bersedia untuk diuji


Mereka tidak kekok bile di minta duduk diatas lantai sambil belajar




Paling ketare, mereka tidak kekok untuk bertanye dan menyoal bile mereka kurang faham





begitu tekun mendengar






sesi praktikal



saye risau kerana yang berbaju biru/bertudung biru di gambar bawah tu baru mendapat berita baik hamil anak sulung tapi masih mahu melompat walaupun di larang, alhamdulilah... nampaknye dia sihat dan tidak mempunyak ape ape komplikasi



masih boleh bergurau dan pose budak nakal.




serious aje nampaknye orang berdua ni



kumpulan yang kecil seramai 23 orang tetapi mantap





Tok Ketua (AJ) sedang berlatih bersama rakan (Azlan)

Saye ucapkan syabas dan tahniah kepada yang telah lulus ujian. Anda yang telah lulus diamanahkan untuk terus mengajar dan belajar hingga ke tahap yang lebih tinggi. Bagi yang tidak lulus, this is not the end of the road. Cuba lagi dilain kali, saya faham this is not your cup of tea, tapi anggap la ini sebagai suatu personal challenge untuk diri sendiri. Seperti yang saye katekan semase ujian tempoh hari ' PHD dan Doctorate anda tu lebih susah untuk lulus dibandingkan dengan ujian amali ini' so please dont give up and hope we will meet again yea. :)
