SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN ASIA TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
SUPER BODY SUPER BRAIN ASIA TOUR HIGHLIGHT
Wow! What a great and fascinating 2 week tour i had in Asia! I never thought that my program will take me as far as Asia and here I am! I remember growing up and being fascinated by great figures like Columbus or Marco Polo and here i am as far as Asia wow! Just got back yesterday from the greatest cities of Singapore and Jakarta. To be honest i was so extremely intimidaded by the tip regarding the hours on a plane that i asked for a business class ticket, i know like a New York Diva hahah and I was not happy with it but didnt know how i suppose to do a 24 hour flight and then a 12 hour work journey so i looked around my clients and one of them helped get a business class ticket with the greatest company of Cathay Pacific under $2,000! that was my budget to travel.
CATHAY PACIFIC BUSINESS CLASS
How did this tour start? Everything started with a simple communication from Tina Maladi the owner of a great Yoga program called Yoga Jakarta Kids who proposed my name for the upcoming festival called Namaste Yoga Festival, one of the most important health festivals in the South East Asia region. The organization was so great that I even got a sponsor to promote the festival and my classes, my great sponsor was a great Library for children called “The Open Book Children Library”
So my tour started in Singapore and wanted to know more how the Singapore fitness market is booming and asking for my program. Asia is a tradition a Easter health and Mind culture that is why my program is fitting very well in that area. After few days of being there I embarked and flew to Jakarta to start my 8 day tour. There were many highlights that it would be imposible to summarize here but the most important is that i was selected to be in the faculty of the Kids and Parenting Program at the Namaste Festival in Jakarta.
When i was in jakarta many other opportunities arose however. I got booked for National Television, then for Radio,
then i met DY the Chairwoman of Alzheimer Indonesia which expressed great amount of interest in developing my program for patients with ALzheimer Disease as you can see there are many studies supporting how exercise improves the condition of the patient living with Alzheimer and since the International Congress of Alzheimer is happening in Indonesia what a great opportunity to collaborate in developing a specific exercise program for Early and Intermediate Advance Alzheimer Disease. My program got a huge grant from the Hospital in the Midwest for Parkinson disease so for few years now I started getting interested in working with patients with Alzheimer disease.
EXERCISE AND ALZHEIMER INDONESIA
Then the following day i went to to the International School of Jakarta, ACG where i conducted a workshop seminar of My program Super Body, Super Brain to 8 great teachers from various backgrounds including elementary, physical education and math. They were really interested in how physical exercise can help kids to improve their grades but also modulate behavior. So after 3 hours of seminar school teacher loved it and I received great feedback and also it was the first school of implementing a Super Body, Super Brain Program in the Asia region

ACG INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF JAKARTA
Then i continued my Journey taking part in one of the biggest festivals in the region, The Namaste Festival! What an incredible festival full of the best health and Yoga classes and Super Body, Super Brain! I was invited as part of the Faculty for Kids and Parents to lead classes with children and parents in specialized exercises where we will be having fun, exercising our balance, coordination, stamina and also making new friends!
NAMASTE FESTIVAL FESTIVAL SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN
What an incredible feedback i got from the Super Body, Super Brain classes, people were excited, so happy and sweaty! The fact that they were not sed of training at that brain body intensity but also how they were able to do it and very specially they loved pleaying the ball to increase their hand eye coordination and everyone making new friends!
One day before leaving to Singapore i met one of the most fascinating man i have ever met his name is Juli Triharto @JuliTriharto and he is the creator of one of the most innovative ways of losing weight called Mind Slim Program. It is an advanced method of losing weight with Hypnoetherapy. I had a great productive meeting brainstorming how we can work together and get an individualized Super Body, Super Brain Program for Mind Slim and I am so extremely excited since I can see how our both programs can work together
Mind Slim Program with Juli Triharto @JuliTriharto
Then before getting on a plane to Singapore the chairwoman of Alzheimer Indonesia asked me to please record a session with her lovely mother since we were planning to explain the importance of physical exercise with patients and movement and alzheimer. I shared my experience working with several patients with this devastating condition.
It was December 2nd and I was ready to go back to Singapore. I arrived in Singapore December 3rd and I got booked for News Channel Asia a great Tv show with Susant and Steven very similar to the Today Show, so we did a great 8 minute segment! can you believe it 8 minutes! Here you can watch it if you are interested!
SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN ON NEWS CHANNEL ASIA watch the
Then in the afternoon I conducted a great workshop session at the Singapore General Hospital where over 40 Physical therapist attended including several patients. I have worked really hard in developing a speicfic SUPER BODY SUPER BRAIN program for Parkinson disease and I received a grant to implement my program at the Capistrant Center. I wanted to share with the Signapore General Hopsital my line of work and my willingness to work with the Signapore General Hospital in sharing my program and help many patients with this devastating condition, here you can see my program
Before I conclude i wanted to thank you every one for making my tour such an icnredible experience Namaste fesitval, The Open Book, Tina maladi and many more to make my Aisa tour probably one of the best ones in my life! However I want to mention a special great friend Susy Bachtiar who is the Master Trainer of this great and fun program called Bokwa but also is helping me giving me such an incredible advice on how to share my program and reach more people. She was truly not only an incredible professional but a unique person full of enthusiasm, great values and a friend.
Here in the picture you see me with Susy and Ma’an two great passionate individuals helping motivate people in the Asia region specifically in Indonesia and Singapore
So now till the next trip this coming Wednesday to Spain to certify the first Master Trainers in Santiago de Compostela!!

SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN NEW CORPORATE LOGO
SUPER BODY SUPER BRAIN IS THE NEW EXERCISE PROGRAM MEDICALLY ENDORSED AND FEATURED IN OVER 30 MEDIA OUTLETS
Hi there and sorry for the delay!!! I have been so extremely busy working with my program. I am launching my program in three different continents with exciting projects worldwide that I wanted to share with you Little by little. First and most important i wanted to share that I have launched a new corporate logo:) Many of you are wondering what does it mean? Very simple the “S” represents the perfect combination between Body and Mind a relationship like no other, a perfect synchronizity a wonderful coordinated multiorganic system producing ever lasting results, in addition the “S”reminded me of Superman mi idol when i was growing up but a New definition of Super Body Super Brain! but also I loved the idea that looks like a “Swan” I will never forget the legend of “Ugly Duckling”
Therefore That ‘S ” represents the difference of my Program ‘SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN” with the rest of the other existing programs: I still remember 8 years ago when no one believed in my program and when people thought i was crazy to incorporate the brain into a physical workout now it is clear there is a strong connection and I am glad that now my work is recognized internationally and having trainers spreading my message.
PAPERBACK RELEASE: Super Body, Super Brain by Michael Gonzalez-Wallace
regarding the colors: if you look closely there are 4 colors, the same as the levels of Super Body, Super Brain. Once you master all the levels, you need to integrate the differents levels into a masterful circuit routine combine the integration of different complex movements working the brain from left to rigth, from front to back, from your senses and with your muscles:)
Thanks so much for your support and I will keep informing you about my upcoming events and my international release of SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN, here is a little teaser of my Global Strategy with Individual Attention

10 Reasons to ride a bike: From Weight Loss to Parkinson
I wanted to share My interview at one of the best Medical Websites where I am the Fitness ExpertMedHelp’s Brain & Body Fitness expert: Ask me a Question Anytime!
When asked if you should use a bike or run i said: “In my opinion While running is a great cardiovascular activity, if you’re not careful, it can cause joint problems down the line — especially if you’re overweight. “Cycling gives people who do not have the optimal bodyweight the possibility to get a good cardiovascular and strength training workout,” .
Some of the other ten reasons:
Click here to read the rest of the article
In addition riding a bike can be a great activity no matter if you are looking to improve in the following areas:
CONCENTRATION Activities that require balance, quick reactions and decision-making skills—
STRESS AND ANXIETY Research has shown that vigorous exercise is so effective at quelling anxiety and depression that some patients have been able to reduce or eliminate the use of medications
MEMORY For the hippocampus—a region of the brain that controls long-term and spatial memory—bigger is better. And as with the rest of your body’s muscles, exercise makes the hippocampus grow
Bicycle and Parkinson Disease
On a side note biking has an icnredible effect on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson especially with those ones with a freezing gait. I wanted to share an icnredible video of a patient with Parkinson while had terrible challenges when asked to walk he was smooth on a bike recovering some of the most important memories this patient had and in the past.
Perhaps the most dramatic example of the way cycling can activate the neural connections of a Parkinson’s sufferer comes in this YouTube video, posted by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEMJ).

Happy 4th of July! Founding Fathers plus Tips to make your 4th of July Barbeque Super healthy
Revolutionary war. Founding fathers.
The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), the American War of Independence,[8] or simply theRevolutionary War in America, began as a war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the new United States of America, but gradually expanded to a global war between Britain on one side and the United States, France, Netherlands and Spain on the other. The main result was an American victory, with mixed results for the other powers.
I just wanted to share few of our most important leaders and their sayings, I hope you like them:
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Argument in Defense of the British Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials (4 December 1770)
Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women”
The Crisis, 1776, Introduction
MIchael Gonzalez-Wallace suggest few tips to make your barbecue healthy
5 SIMPLE STEPS TO KEEP YOUR JULY 4th BBQ MENU SUPER HEALTHY
1. Use small bread buns for hamburgers or hot dogs ( you may be saving 500 kcal at the end of the meal)
2. Use small portions such as small hamburgers (not full ones), hot dogs bites
3. Use plenty of grilled vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, celery, carrots (don’t grill them to much, otherwise you would lose the vitamin power
4. Eat slowly, it is not a race!
5. Drink plenty of water and keep the alcoholic drinks to 1-2, If you drive remember you CAN’T DRINK: it is for your family safety and other drivers.
Firing up some neurons in a Barbecue? Absolutely!: Come up with great conversation and topics that requires thinking…..such as what do you think about that issue? sports? intellectual conversation is the best one to fire powerful cognitive neurons!
Happy July 4th!

NBA 2013 FINALS START TODAY- Train like a professional NBA player. Miami Heat Superstar Dwayne Wade Routine
NBA FINAL START TODAY-HOW BASKETBALL HELPED ME DEVELOP SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN-
NBA finals start today with two phenomenal teams: San Anotnio Spurs and Miami Heat. Basketball is one of the most complete athletic sports: In order to play basketball you need to be not only a superb athlete but a fast thinker combining different disciplines such as fitness, biomechanics, kinetics or kinematics. Remember that playing a sport like basketball requires that you are constantly taking decisions. The 2013 NBA Finals will get underway Tuesday night from AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami. ABC will broadcast the entire series (TSN in Canada)
Ever Wondered how Miami Players train?
However I wanted to share my experience of playing professional basketball in Spain and how basketball has helped me to develop my book: SUPER BODY, SUPER BRAIN
From Super Body, Super Brain book: Chapter 2:
When I was playing basketball in Spain, before every game I would take the lead and start clapping shouting out “Let’s go”, “We can’t do it” half an hour before every game, My energy level zoomed until i felt completely in the right emotional to give my absolute best and be on top of my game. Now years after I realized that what i was doing it was altering my brain chemistry and you can totally do it at home, your office or anywhere else. However I wanted to share how basketball has helped me to develop my strength training program: Super Body, Super Brain
BASKETBALL IS BASED ON BIOMECHANICS-
What is the basis of training just one muscle say the biceps. Whole body movements are key for optimal health and are crucial to improve brain body efficiency and does not apply only to sports players it affects to all of us. I wanted to share how I developed my book Super Body, Super Brain
So i started thinking of my days practicing basketball. When you play a sport, you are engaged, you are focusing in multi-tasking different muscle movements but also specific motions requiring balance, coordination and strength. So i started asking to myself why not add those principles to the most important physical exercise strength program? “Mark, do a biceps curl while lifting the right leg, then cross the leg behind and simultaneously do an upper back extensions and a semi-sqaut plie”. My client became focused, mentally engaged, happy but also sweaty, his muscles were projecting muscle power and more powerful brain muscle connection. To browse inside my book click here
Components of a perfect movement:
-BALANCE
-COORDINATION
-STRENGTH
-CARDIOVASCULAR
