1 in 4 women over 50 in Australia have osteoporosis. This number is likely to increase significantly with the surge in weight loss medication prescription. Resistance training to maintain and improve bone density, coupled with balance drills to prevent falls, will help you fight the bone loss battle. Resistance training should be prescribed with careful consideration of pre-existing conditions to avoid injury. Be in Blossom runs Build My Bones twice weekly at Keperra. A one hour small group class for women over 40 who are wanting to prioritise their bone health under close supervision.

Wholesome way to round out the school holidays with lots of siblings coming along to today’s All Women’s Pilates class 🫶. Many of these children were tiny babies when I first met them in Mum and Bub Pilates. It is so lovely seeing them join in on the exercises and mindfulness. 🩷 full.

What’s your favourite “snack”
Just like having a small bite to eat between meals helps us to function better, adding movement snacks to your day between your exercise sessions can have similar benefits.
Over the coming weeks I will be popping up some suggested movement snacks for various stages of life.
Take a look at a few suggested movement snacks that are great for pregnancy.
Bite sizes of exercise in pregnancy can:
• Prevent or alleviate muscle aches
• Be used for grounding
• Keep check on tension build up
• Build muscle strength
• Help with bladder control
• Promote regular bowel movement
• In late pregnancy, prepare the pelvis for a vaginal birth
Should you be experiencing pain or have an existing medical condition please seek advice from your health care provider or book in to see your pelvic health physio for determining exercise suitability.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Today I want to share my gratitude for the women who raised me. Next to love, the most important value my Mum and Grandmothers instilled in me was movement. Over the years, moving my body has become one of my core pillars — something I always return to. It grounds me. It’s my favourite hobby. It’s the backdrop to so many happy memories and a big part of what defines me. What a gift! Movement has seen me:
* Snowboard in France
* Quad bike in the Dubai desert
* Whitewater raft down the Zambezi
* Snorkel in the Red Sea
* Hike the Inka trail in Peru
* Ski in Canada
* Standup paddleboard in Hawaii
* Dragon Boat race along the Brisbane River
* Learn to kickbox in London
* Bust out millennial dance moves in clubs and my car
* Start my own exercise-based physio business
* Become a Pilates instructor
* Later this year, to trek in Nepal

Moving my body brings me happiness. The health benefits are almost secondary.
Now menopausal, I’m trying to adopt thoughtful exercise practices that align with what the evidence tells us about ageing well.

Women are not like men in the exercise space. Our bodies move through different seasons — sometimes four seasons in one day if you ask my husband. How we move can be shaped by hormones, pregnancy, menstruation, pelvic floor or gynaecological conditions, or simply having a child attached to our hip.

So show yourself compassion.
It doesn’t have to be perfect — just good enough.

In recent years there has been a surge of online conflict about what exercise is “best”.
Strength vs Pilates. Influencers and health professionals calling each other out.
People trying to discredit one another.

Honestly, it can leave my head spinning — so I can’t imagine how confusing it must feel for women who don’t work in the health space.
Confusion breeds fear. And fear makes people freeze. When that happens, the debate about the “best” type of exercise becomes pointless — because people stop moving altogether.
Yes, there are published National Physical Activity Guidelines that outline recommended exercise doses.
But don’t get lost in the detail.
Don’t let anxiety about “getting it right” overshadow the joy that movement can bring.
Movement creates connection.
Connection builds belonging.
And belonging helps us share life’s burdens.
Variety really is the spice of life.
Move your body in different ways:
• Some that build strength
• Some that support your core
• Some that glide and stretch your tissues
• Some that lift your heart rate
• Some that challenge your balance and coordination
And most importantly, choose ones that make you smile and laugh.

This year we kicked off a class specifically with the perimenopausal and menopausal population in mind. Targeted on strength, balance, posture, and weight bearing cardio, Build My Bones is shaping up to be one of my favourite classes to teach. Each week our class members are not just improving their bone health but they are reducing their risk of falls, building confidence in everyday movement, and engaging with a great bunch of ladies. I have a couple of spots left in this class. Ladies can book week to week and opt to attend once or twice weekly. The one hour class is designed to meet you where you are at, recognising that resistance training looks vastly different for each woman. As a Physiotherapist who has worked in the pelvic health/women’s health space for many years I am happy to adjust class elements to suit your needs.
