💪As I added another rep to my heaviest ever deadlift PB this morning (110kg x 5) I was remembering what I was doing 26 years ago at this exact same time 🕰️
On 22nd October 1997 I’d just given birth at home 🏡 to my third baby 👶🏻 Gabriel Jonathan gabrielstrength
Back in 1997 I was already a regular gym goer and trained throughout my pregnancy 🤰🏻 with Gabriel.
🏋️♀️🏃🏼♀️🚴♀️ Throughout his childhood he’s seen a mum who’s always exercised.
I’ve obviously been a terrible influence 😂
Look at him now 💪
🎂Happy Birthday Gabriel 🥳

Standing core exercises - no crunches no problem!
Try these 5 kettlebell core exercises. Be warned ⚠️ they are challenging.
Put them together in a circuit, for a cardio and core workout. Alternatively work on perfecting good technique, by practicing each exercise individually.
Which is your favourite?

If you have knee osteoarthritis - like I do - it’s really important to work on leg strengthening, and knee stability exercises.
Modifying exercises may be necessary, in order to minimise pain or discomfort.
Try swapping
✅Squats for box squats
✅Lunges for split squats
And include
✅Stiff leg exercises - less likely to cause knee pain
✅Single leg exercises - for knee stability
It’s not delusional🤪 instead it’s a smart 🤓
approach to training 💪

👶🏻 My granddaughter has the cutest baby giggles 🥰
I’ve progressed from being the mum 👩🏻 on the school 🏫 run in Lycra dressed for the gym, to being the grandma 👩🏻🦳 ready for any activity dressed in sportswear.
And perhaps one day I will be the great grandma 👵🏻 in activewear, playing with my great grandchildren.
💪Strength training 🫀cardiovascular activity ⚖️ balance and 🤸🏼mobility work, are my recipe for active ageing.
It’s a lifelong journey.
I’m down for the ride.
How about you?

#AD Did you spot this ‘voice’ at 25, 30 and 35 seconds? It’s the OrCam Read 3 from orcam_technologies recently gifted to me.
Many of us require reading glasses 🤓 as we grow older, due to age related vision loss . But small print, even when wearing your glasses, can be tricky to read on washing labels 👚 and websites📱, and glasses 👓 can steam up ♨️ in the kitchen when you’re cooking 🍞.
The OrCam Read 3, is a great solution for these problems, as it reads any text OUT LOUD 🔊 It’s portable, hand-held, and can be used without Wi-Fi to read printed or digital text on any surface. ➡️ See the 🔗 in my bio for more details
Which means no more turning whites 🤍 pink 🩷
So we just need a clever solution for the dreaded tissue in the washing now 😱 agreed? 😂

POV: You walked in on one of our joint workout sessions 👯♀️
As a mum @hergardengym and daughter @saff_fit we both appreciate the benefits of physical activity 💃
Whether it’s strength training, pole fitness, circuits, bouncing, dancing, or cycling, we enjoy exploring all the different ways our bodies can move 🕺
This is why we love womeninsport_uk’s #TimeTogether campaign, helping mothers and daughters, aunties and nieces, grandmothers and granddaughters, all women discover new ways to be active 🙋🏻♀️
Saffron discovered the joy of strength training with mum Jacqueline’s support 🏋️♀️
Now Saffron teaches her mum Jacqueline basic pole fitness moves and dance routines 👯♀️
We share our love of being active and get to spend precious time together 💜
It’s always enjoyable, motivating, and inspiring to be active in the company of other women 🙌🏻

I was sitting in this very spot, on a warm evening in June, when I received the sad news a fellow fitness professional and friend had passed away.
🫀It’s true that if you engage in regular physical activity this will support your health. My friend had known this and lived it.
🧠 But we must also acknowledge you can be fit and active, exercise, eat well, and STILL get sick.
🤧 I’ve had a cold/cough virus this past week, and have needed to take some downtime.
⬇️ It’s been a seasonal 🍁reminder that healthy lifestyle choices REDUCE disease risk, but you cannot eliminate risk.
🩷 Acute or chronic illness, an injury, or a temporary health issue, it really could be any one of us.
🙏🏻 For anyone currently dealing with this.

It’s as simple as that 👏
When you enjoy movement, you’re far more likely to stick at it 💪 It’s essential to prioritise physical activity that you’re passionate about, whether that’s 🚶♀️walking, 🏋️♀️ strength training, 💃 dancing, or 🔮 something else entirely!
Other essentials include
💪 Mastering correct form
💪 Fuelling yourself properly
💪 Finding your balance
What form of movement do you enjoy? 🔮

How not to spot someone in the gym 😂
Pull ups were going really well this morning until the last set

🎬 The biggest benefit of videoing your workout is the ability to review, assess, and perfect your technique
🎬 Sometimes how we imagine we are moving, and how we are actually moving, are very different!
🎬 A video can help you identify any issues, and correct form where necessary
🎬 You don’t have to share the video online but keeping it as a reference for yourself may be helpful
A few etiquette rules on videoing in a public gym
🎬 People who are exercising always take priority over anyone videoing
🎬 Try to record at quieter times
🎬 Be aware tripods can be a trip hazard
🎬 If people are in the background, ask permission before sharing online
🚫 Never video other people surreptitiously with the intention of making fun of them online (see @joeyswoll
if you need further clarification on this )
And because someone always asks ➡️ these box squats are the most comfortable squat variation for me as I have knee osteoarthritis.
Do you video your workouts or specific exercises? I find video especially helpful for checking squat and deadlift technique.

🧊Women over 50 are at increased risk of developing a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).
😰It’s a very painful condition, leading to a restriction in range of movement.
🚫Every day activities, like doing up a bra, and putting a jacket on, become torturous.
✅A long looped band is a handy training tool, and these exercises are a great way to support healthier shoulders. Spend a minute on each exercise to maintain a good range of movement in your shoulders, strengthen them, and address rounded shoulders.
⚠️ Unfortunately if you already have a frozen shoulder these exercises may not be possible. Always seek an assessment as early intervention may prevent a worsening of your condition.
☝🏻You’ll find more information about rehab from frozen shoulder in my workouts highlights icon. I’ve had three shoulder surgeries but what’s right for me may not be right for you. Always seek a medical opinion if you are concerned about a shoulder joint.
Let me know if you’ll be giving these a go 😊

Changing the game on attitudes to age 👩🏻🦳promoting ways to support healthier ageing 🤸🏼and tackling ageism 🙅🏼♀️ ruffles a few feathers 👿
😳Although some people call me far worse things than ‘difficult’
👿Some people can’t handle women who change the game
😉 But they can’t stop the game
We play on 🙌🏻

💪 Nobody starts with a 100kg deadlift.
💪Deadlifting a 6kg kettlebell, in a modified range of movement, is an achievable target for many beginners.
But once we’ve mastered technique, and built a solid foundation, we have the capacity of getting super strong in our 60s and beyond 👩🏻🦳
Wherever you are on your strength training journey, I hope you’re enjoying it!
💪Raise expectations, and lift the bar

🎤 Replying to age shaming comments I get online 👿 as a 60 year old woman 👩🏻🦳 like . . .
😂 Sorry not sorry for the sassy interpretive dance 💃
‘Older’ women are
👩🏻🦳visible, loud, and proud in 2023
👩🏻🦳not ashamed of our age
👩🏻🦳challenging negative age stereotypes
👩🏻🦳promoting pro age attitudes
👩🏻🦳supporting inclusion and representation
👩🏻🦳writing our own stories
👩🏻🦳championing other women
👩🏻🦳trail blazers
🙌🏻Who’s in?
🪩Dancing optional
✅But as a personal trainer, and active ageing advocate, I encourage dancing along with any movement you enjoy for healthier ageing 🤸🏼
P.S. @kylieminogue is 55 - just saying 👑

Dealing with ageism everyday online like . . .
Any similarity to actual persons or events is NOT a coincidence 🙄
Go check out how some other lovely women I’m connected with deal with this issue daily as well including @paulinaporizkov @thesilverlining_1970 and @lisaloufitness
And so many others
Judgements and opinions on your body, your hair, your skin, what you wear, and how you spend your time, is something all women (and many men) eventually experience because ageism is everywhere.
Grow older however you want, I dare you.
Wear your hair long and grey, or short with rainbow 🌈 colours.
Wear clothing that covers every inch of skin, or bikinis 👙 and heels 👠
Stay at home 🏡 and enjoy crafting, or climb mountains 🏔️
There is no right ✅ or wrong ❌way to age. There’s simply your way, your preferences, your choices.
And remember
Ageing isn’t a problem - ageism is.
