La Elite Fashions Asks: What is Your Favorite Suit?



When you think of wearing a suit, is a formal garment what comes to mind? While it’s true that formal suits are still used for important occasions, Men’s Fashion has changed so much in the last few years. Nowadays, both men and women, wear suits on a daily basis that are styled both formally… and casually! The important thing is to look and feel confident in your look, and the best way to feel and look your best is with a Bespoke Suit, Dress, or other garment made from the highest quality fabrics at La Elite Fashions in Hong Kong.

We asked our clients about their favorite suits and why they loved them. The responding responses included:

“I love that the fabric bounces back and holds a crease very well. I love the weight of the fabric. I love that it has been going strong for over 5 years with weekly wear (sometimes up to 3 or 4 times a week). I love the shoulder on it - soft but not unstructured, it also falls right at my natural shoulder with a high armhole making it very easy for me to move around in it. All of these things combined make it my favorite. Also, the fact that it's a mid gray allows it to be worn with almost anything.”

Mr Nuk Korako M.P.- Member of Parliament in New Zealand
Loyal La Elite Fashions’ Client for over 16 years after his recent purchase of several suits, shirts, and silk cashmere sport jacket.

“I think my favorite suit is my favorite because of how it feels on me, it’s my best fitted one.”

“My favorite suit gives me confidence and makes me feel as if I can conquer whatever comes my way that day!”

“I love the color of my favorite suit especially paired with my favorite pair of light gray pants.”

Think about your favorite suit you’ve ever worn, why is, or was it, your favorite? Perhaps you associate it with a favorite occasion or event, but more likely you loved it because of the way it fit. The way it flattered your figure, perhaps helping you look slimmer, taller, played up your best assets, or was the perfect color to flatter your features. You can’t find a suit like this off the rack, you need a custom fit to look your best! And with so many “photographers” around these days, no one wants to show up on Instagram or Snapchat in anything but their best!

Our experienced tailors are able to replicate your favorite garment as well, simply bring it in with you for a quote!

Build your Core and Stabilisation Muscles with a Balance Board!


 

The T8 Fitness Balance Boards (also known as a Wobble Board) are a great way to build your core and stabilisation muscles! A balance board routine can be done indoors or outdoors and best of all… it can easily be incorporated into your existing daily schedule! Balance boards are able to be used alongside other strength exercises to maximize workout efforts, or you can simply place one under a standing desk or use it while completing everyday household tasks, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or simply watching TV. No matter how you plan add stability/balance training to your fitness regimen, a balance board has numerous benefits that can bolster your health and fitness levels.
Improving your balance and stability can:

Aid in rehabilitation of injuries and chronic illnesses
Improves posture
Reduces future risk of injury
Improves coordination and body awareness
Increases functional strength
Reduces back pain

Plus, it’s a fun and easy way to workout!


Rehabilitation
Anyone can benefit from introducing stability training into their rehab programs, especially those suffering from a sports injury or a work-related injury. Physical therapists typically include static and dynamic balance training into their injury recovery programs-- static balance training involves supporting your posture while standing still and dynamic balance training involves trying to stay balanced during movement.

Functional Strength
This is the strength you need to perform the everyday activities that get you through life. Household chores, grocery shopping, running errands-- life skills many of us take for granted. Balance training works to increase functional strength by building muscles that get used on a regular basis, particularly your core, back, glutes, and leg muscles.

Reducing Back Pain and Improving Posture
One of the main benefits of a balance board is increasing your core strength-- which in turn strengthens muscles in your abs and obliques, thus leading to better posture and a decrease in back pain.  

The T8 Fitness Typhoon 1 Balance Board is made of lightweight plastic, making the board extremely portable for use outside the home. You can truly workout anywhere, anytime with it! For extra safety we also urge you to look into our vast collection of ToeSox, Grip Socks that are made to keep you safe on exercise equipment from yoga mats to Pilates equipment and a variety of other sports. Order today! We offer delivery or pick up at 3 different locations: T8 Fitness office in Discovery Bay, Iso Fit which is in Central, or the warehouse located in Kwai Hing.

Ready to Start Running Again? Get Started and Stay on Track


 


You were born to run! Rebuild your enthusiasm for running with Runity, which will improve your running technique, and help you learn how to eliminate pain and reduce injuries. Our upcoming course in Singapore is great for both personal use and fitness professionals, including Pilates Teachers, Dancers, Yoga Instructors, and Sports Pro’s. Runity works for  runners of all fitness levels, from beginner to advance, helping to prepare both body and mind to enjoy running safely and efficiently for life.

Let’s assume you used to enjoy running, dreaming of the finish lines you’ll cross as you push your body faster and farther than you ever have before. Then you got busy, or perhaps you became injured, or simply burned out. It’s okay! Getting off-track happens to many runners, not just you, so don’t stress over that. Everyone needs a little help and motivation at times.

Here’s a few tips to get you moving again:


Walk before you run
Ease into running by starting with walking, picking up the pace gradually. It’s typically recommended to be able to walk for at least 45 minutes without pain, especially if returning to running after an injury. Walking reconditions and prepares your muscles for the more rigorous demands of running.

Patience
Rushing too quickly to meet a goal can also result in injury, especially after a previous injury, as well as burning out. We highly recommend meeting with a professional who can oversee and help guide you in a rehabilitation program, but if this isn’t possible then you need to pace yourself, take walking breaks when needed, and listen to your body. Soreness is expected, but outright pain means you need to take a step back and slow it down.

Cross-train
Working out every day will help speed up your overall fitness level, but that doesn’t mean you need to run every day. Add in two or three days of Pilates, yoga, weight-training, swimming, cycling or even using an elliptical  machine. Your cardiovascular system will thank you!

Stay Motivated
Why are you running? Figure this out and you'll have a much harder time justifying skipping a session or two. Your reason can be as simple as: being less stressed, improving heart health, and/or losing a few pounds. Another way to stay motivated is to draft a friend to keep you accountable. This can be a workout buddy, or someone to check in with via social media or group workout apps. Again, a professional fitness trainer is also the best way to stay motivated and get your best fitness session out of you-- each and every workout!

Food is Fuel for Life: Take Charge of Your Health and Wellbeing


 


 
Iso Fit Hong Kong is a fitness and rehabilitation studio located in Central, Hong Kong with state-of-the-art GYROTONIC and Pilates equipment. Our Polestar Pilates certified instructors are ready to help you meet your health and fitness goals!

Food is fuel for life. A proper diet helps you find the energy to get through each day, fuels your workouts, improves health and helps with physical fitness. In addition some find that eating certain foods can decrease pain and improve quality of life when living with a chronic illness. Joseph Pilates himself believed that proper diet was part of whole body health:
“Accordingly, it is earnestly suggested that you guide your eating habits with all due respect to the required amount of food and kind you need to keep yourself physically fit, always indicated by your occupation, or lack of it.” - Joseph Pilates via his book Pilates' Return to Life Through Contrology

                                                                   Joseph Pilates at 57 and 82

Obviously there are many reasons why we should pay attention to what we consume each day- processed convenience foods may be easy and tasty, but do nothing to improve our health. Over indulgence in these foods almost certainly puts our overall health in jeopardy. Seeing your food in a different perspective, as medicine for your body, can yield immense benefits and improve overall well-being.

Webster's definition of medicine is  "The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease." The nutrients in food facilitate the cells in our bodies to complete their necessary functions. Proper nutrients help maintain health, prevent disease, allows the body to function, and gives our cells the necessary information to complete numerous tasks. In the simplest terms, think of food as being food a source of "information" for the body. Taking this view of food gives us a way to view nutrition beyond calories or carbs, and lets us focus on foods that we should include in our diet. Instead of viewing food negatively, look at it as a way to improve health and reduce disease.

A good diet and consistent physical activity are both very important to a healthy body and mind. Joseph Pilates believed this, and so do we! Stop by Iso Fit Hong Kong  today to learn more and book your next Pilates session. We offer both group classes and private sessions, as well as rehabilitation and Gyrotonic Classes.
