I’m a big fan of this
KLT (Kinetic Link Training) move
For a number of reasons-

- it trains the posterior oblique sling connection from the shoulder, latissimus dorsi through to the opposite glute max

- training this way teaches the body stability

- pulling down can help encourage depression
Of the shoulder and engagement of the Lats more
especially if you are prone to traps taking over

- great for working on hip extension through the superficial front line

- whole body movements like this are a great accessory move or used as a warm up.

On world menopause here’s a huge shout out to our huge sisterhood -

There’s sooooo many out there telling you to “do this” or “take this” to cure all the symptoms or “repair” your hormones. It’s overwhelming and a constant message that once again, as women, there is something wrong with us.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!

What you are going through is a stage…..just like puberty or pregnancy you will get through it.

Everyone’s path through this is going to be different.

Take sh . Do sh . Or don’t. It’s your stage to navigate the best way possible for you.

Educate yourself from reputable sources to help you through.

Just know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and take it from me, it a good place to be.

There’s a freedom that allows you to travel lightly every day. Appreciating the small pleasures like that sunrise or that slow first morning coffee; time spent with grandchildren that you get to hand back 😉 and free from the need of approval and external validation.

Yes it’s tough going, but hold on, grit your teeth and keep pushing. If it’s one thing we all know……our sisterhood is made of the strongest stuff on this planet.

You’ve got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This is my MyZone fitness tracker telling me that I’ve been consistent in my exercise over a period of 6 years. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It has it’s advantages but it also has it’s weaknesses that really p # me off and I’ll tell you why -

Firstly a few of it’s good points- creating accountability and consistency within your gym community. It is also a great way to monitor your workrate/effort during a session which is particularly useful if you are looking to reach specific parameters such as sprints, endurance, or lactate training.

What it doesn’t do is reward you for strength training, recovery or incidental low-medium intensity exercise which in my opinion are as important as going hard at cardio based workouts.

So with my upcoming few weeks of activity consisting of lots of low intensity activity and swimming (my tracker isn’t waterproof) I’m likely not to hit my monthly requirement as set by this tool.

I could obsess over it or I could let it go. I don’t believe anything should have that much power over you. Use it to your advantage by all means but don’t obsess about it.

Much love 💖

Life will always present us with curve balls, be it mental, hormonal or physical unless you’re living under a rock (well even then you have the challenges of dealing with a heavy load 😉)

So the question I put to you is this - do you throw your hands up in the air and give up or do you stop reset and work out what you CAN do not wallow in what you CAN’T do?

Injuries will happen…..niggles will happen……energy levels will happen……hormones will wreak havoc……..

The challenge is to take a deep breath (or eleventy million if you need), feel all the feels and then keep going……..one step at a time.

Ask for help, get a good coach, try different things until you find what works for you. I promise you that you will feel better than throwing your hands in the air and giving up.

And when you overcome these challenges……what did you learn?

You are stronger than you thought 💖
You can always do something 💖
You have set an example to others 💖
You are resilient 💖

YOU ARE A WINNER 💖

Listening to the noise around absolutely everything that’s out there around peri menopause and menopause in general can have you just like me in this picture: Hair standing on end, frazzled, confused, frustrated (allll the feels…) and quite frankly ready to knock someone’s lights out (and not caring who that person is 🫣)

I get it -

Do this, don’t do this
Take this, don’t take this
Have this (treatment), don’t have this

And the list goes on…….

So what IS the right answer…..

My advice for what it is worth as a 67 post menopausal woman -

Learnt to quieten the noise. Switch off all the social media hype trying to sell you stuff to make “better”.

No amount of “stuff” is going to fix what is a natural part of life and you don’t need fixing.

Thinking that you need fixing implies there is something wrong with you. Sure….things are happening to every system in your body and there is definitely ways to cope and deal with the effects of these changes. Some can help with the help of trained professionals who are qualified, not entrepreneurs who just want to pray on your emotional state at this point in time.

It’s easy for me to say this after years of listening to the noise and my only wish is to guide you into making good wholistic choices.

Years of turmoil has seen me walk out the other side of this sh feeling stronger both in body and mind and taking responsibility back for myself and how I want to show up for myself.

Please know that I am here for you always if you need me.

Much love 💖
