Strong women influencing the future strong women with Focused Intense Resistance Exercise.

Great sessions this morning, the time under tension (actually exercise time) is less than about 5 minutes.

When you apply science to your training it just needs to be hard, infrequent and precise.

You then go and recover and do it next week or so. This is what gets the results.

Smashing yourself every day doesn't get the results.
It's about stimulation, not annihilation.

Resistance training - The fountain of youth.

Resistance training is one of the closest things we have to a true “fountain of youth” because it preserves the very systems that decline with age. Muscle mass, strength, and power naturally drop as we get older, and those losses are directly tied to slower metabolism, reduced mobility, poorer balance, lower bone density, and a higher risk of chronic disease. Lifting reverses that slide. It rebuilds muscle tissue, strengthens bones, improves insulin sensitivity, sharpens cognition, and keeps your metabolism higher for decades. Most importantly, it gives you physical independence—the ability to move well, stay capable, and live life on your own terms long after everyone else starts slowing down.

This woman is in her 50s and was pretty happy with her biological age being reversed to 47 on her Garmin 😛

Quick shout out to the people doing the stuff that works for their health and longevity.

The latest research shows your strength, muscle power, and fitness level aren’t just numbers, they’re powerful predictors of your long-term health and how well you age.

Grip strength, muscular strength and power output, and your cardio fitness - your vo2 Max, all say more about your future than any blood test.

The good news is is, you can change this and you can train it. So knowing that I personally think that it would be best to do what the evidence says and not what the trends say.

And it's 2025! We have smarter ways to do things and ways to get things done more efficiently than just spending hours and hours of time in an equipment rental place, being on a bike outdoors with motorists, or having to run around the block for hours smashing our knees up.

(And rather than just make a claim like most people on the net, here's some studies to back up what I've just said:

It’s great to see more people moving — whether that’s weights, Pilates, or just finding a routine that fits.

I wrote this new and updated piece because there’s often confusion about what Pilates and strength training actually do. The truth is, they can work together to build strength, confidence, and better movement.

My niece teaches Pilates in Melbourne, and it’s awesome to see how much passion she brings to helping people move well.

💰 The Real Cost of “Doing Nothing”

Most people don’t realise how expensive poor health actually is:
GP visit: $85–$120
Physio: $90–$130 per session
Specialist appointment: $250–$400+
Surgery: $5,000–$15,000 even after rebates
Medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes: $60–$100 per month

That’s thousands of dollars every year just to manage health problems that could have been prevented.

🧠 The Science Is Crystal Clear
Exercise isn’t just about looking good — it’s about staying out of the doctor’s office.
Regular training reduces the risk of:
✅ Heart disease
✅ Type 2 diabetes
✅ Osteoporosis
✅ Depression and anxiety
✅ Chronic pain and falls
Study after study shows that exercise is the most powerful medical intervention we have.
And unlike a pill or a surgery, it comes with positive side effects: energy, confidence, and strength.

💪 Prevention > Reaction
For $34.95 a week, you can join a structured, supportive program built on evidence — not fads. Led by a registered fitness professional with over 20 years experience
It’s less than the cost of one takeaway meal, and far cheaper than a single physio session.

💡 Invest in prevention. Don’t pay for treatment later.

Thanks.
I'll take it. 😅

Over the past year, we’ve had some unreal nutrition results — a couple of them from people in their 50s who completely turned things around.
I’d love to show you the photos. But in a small town, I get it...not everyone wants their vulnerable moments online. Still, it’s tough sometimes. This job can feel like being a builder who can’t show off their best work 🤣.
The takeaway? Nutrition drives the results.
Exercise matters, but it’s not enough on its own, if it was, everyone who half-tries would already have a transformation.
The people who commit to the full process, training and nutrition, always win.

Children learn about health, fitness and nutrition from their parents.

These two are lucky ones.
What a great time of the year to start exercising.

Being tired isn’t discipline... It’s just being tired. 😅

Just because many people are doing something doesn’t mean it becomes sensible all of a sudden. You see it all the time: gyms nationwide, full of people calling a 40 to 60 minute grind “HIIT.” But if you’re pacing yourself for that long, it’s not high intensity. It’s just fatigue management.

Proper HIIT is short because it has to be. You push near your maximum, then rest long enough to do it again, maybe six to ten rounds in total. That’s it. Beyond 20 minutes, you’re no longer training your anaerobic system; you’re just getting tired and calling it discipline.

Smashing yourself for the sake of it isn’t smarter, fitter, or tougher; it’s just sloppy programming dressed up as effort. Train with intent. Build conditioning, not a random mess.

💪 🦴 You can't buy bone density, but you can train for it.

It seems like everyone's looking for the magic pill (or injection). Osteoporosis affects both men and women — and no, you can’t buy your way out of it.
There’s no pill, powder, or injection that replaces what consistent strength training does.

Your bones respond to stress.
When you lift, push, pull, or move against resistance, your body gets a clear message:
“We need these bones to stay strong.”

Over time, this builds more than muscle. It builds structure, stability, and long-term protection against falls and fractures.

Here’s what consistent, evidence-based training delivers:
✅ Increases bone mineral density and strengthens joints
✅ Builds muscle that protects your skeleton
✅ Improves balance, posture, and coordination
✅ Boosts metabolism and supports healthy body composition
✅ Enhances mental health and reduces anxiety
✅ Increases energy, confidence, and overall resilience
✅ Reduces the risk of falls, fractures, and chronic disease

You can’t buy those results — you have to train for them.
That’s why every session at CreightonPT is led by registered professionals who understand how to apply the right type of stress, at the right time, for the right person.
This isn’t random exercise — it’s purposeful training that builds strength, fitness, and health for life.
