The free weights section of any gym is simultaneously the most intimidating and most pretended-to-be-confident place on earth.

You walk in.

You pick up something that looks about right.

You find a spot where no one can really see you.

And you do your best impression of someone who definitely knows what they’re doing.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing:
You’re not just supposed to know what you’re doing.
That feeling isn’t a you problem.
It’s a taught problem.

Most women were never actually shown how to move confidently with weights.

How to choose the right load.

What an exercise should feel like.

Where you should feel it.

So you wing it.

Or you avoid it altogether.

The Learn to Lift at Home Challenge is five days of fixing exactly that.

So the next time you walk into a gym — or pick up a set of dumbbells at home — you actually know what you’re doing.

Starts April 20. Completely free.

There’s a secret club for people who lift weights.
And it can feel like no one gave you the invite.

You watch others in the weights section and they just… know.

Which weight to pick up. How to hold it. What to do with it. How hard to push.

And you’re standing there thinking —
how does everyone else know this except me?

Here’s the thing.

They were taught.
Or they figured it out through years of trial and error.
Or someone in their life just showed them.
It was never written on the wall.
It was never handed to you with your gym membership.

You were never supposed to just know.

What’s actually keeping you out isn’t fitness.
It’s not age. It’s not your body.

It’s the fact that no one has explained:
→ How a movement should feel
→ Where you should feel it
→ How to know if you’re working hard enough
→ What to do when something doesn’t feel right

That’s the membership card no one gave you.

And here’s the good news — it’s completely learnable.

Once you have it, you can walk into any gym, train at home, pick up any weight — and actually know what you’re doing.

The free Learn to Lift at Home Challenge starts April 20.

5 days of finally getting the membership card.

There’s nothing wrong with chasing PBs on a deadlift
or doing shuttle runs at 5am in a gym…

I did that once too.

But it’s also okay if that’s not your version of building strength.

And if sessions done as part of you daily rhythm in the morning light, while still wearing your pjs, and sipping on a coffee sound like your jam…

welcome to my page 💙

The most common introduction to strength training isn’t working.

And it’s not your fault.

Here’s what I see all the time:

She joins the gym.

Gets set up with a program.

Leg press, hamstring curls, lat pulldown, seated row.

Shows up three times a week.

And still feels completely lost every single session.

Not because she’s not trying.

Not because she’s unmotivated.

But because no one ever actually taught her what she was doing - or why.

She could follow the program.

She just didn’t really understand it.

And that gap?

That’s exactly why the stop/start cycle keeps happening.

When the program ends, or life gets busy - there’s nothing to fall back on.

Because she had a list.

Not a skill set.

This isn’t a motivation problem.

It’s a clarity problem.

You haven’t been failing.

You’ve just never been properly shown.

Most women training at home are either lifting too light to actually build strength — or guessing their way through it with no real plan or progression and just hoping for the best.

Neither works well if your goal is to actually get stronger.

Here’s the thing though — there’s no single “right” answer. Your starting weight depends on your injury history, how long you’ve been training, which side is stronger, and honestly just how your body feels that day.

But after 20+ years in clinic, I know one thing for sure — women are desperate for at least a ballpark.

A starting range.

Something to work from rather than just grabbing whatever’s closest and hoping for the best.

So these are your starting ranges. 👆

Not a rule book. Not a prescription. Just a solid starting point from someone who’s watched thousands of women lift.

From here — your job is to pay attention to how it feels and adjust from there.
👉Too easy after 8 reps? Go heavier next set.
👉Form falling apart? Drop down.

That’s how you learn to listen to your body — and that’s a skill worth building.

Every woman joining my free Learn to Lift at Home Challenge gets this as a downloadable cheat sheet when we kick off April 20 — plus a structured step by step plan to go with it.

You thought you’d keep exercising over the holidays…

…but here you are, a week in, and it hasn’t happened.

Firstly: there is nothing wrong with you.

You haven’t suddenly lost motivation.

You’ve lost your routine cues
…and your mental load has gone up

More people.
More decisions.
Less structure.

So instead of trying to stick to your normal routine…

You need a holiday version of it.

Here’s what that looks like 👇

1. Think ahead
School holidays, trips, time away — these aren’t surprises.
Have a loose plan before you get there.

2. Lower the bar
This is not your “ideal routine” season.
This is your keep things ticking over season.

3. Decide what’s doable (and what’s most important)
Not what you should do.
👉 What you can actually follow through with on a messy day.

4. Anchor it to something consistent
Coffee. Breakfast. Getting out of the house.
Your routine doesn’t disappear — it just shifts.

5. Have a go-to (no thinking required)
The less decisions you have to make, the better.

My personal holiday bare minimums:
• a decent protein breakfast
• a walk (even just for fresh air)
• a simple 3–4 exercise circuit (mostly bodyweight)

If you want something super simple to follow while you’re away…
I’ve got you.

Why don’t we start with what I don’t mean…

Because this is where most women get it wrong.

❌ I don’t mean random 10-minute YouTube workouts.
❌ I don’t mean light weights + fast reps just to feel puffed.
❌ I don’t mean doing the same exercises over and over with no progression.
❌ I don’t mean ticking a box and hoping it’s “enough.”

What I do mean is this:

✔️ 10 minutes of structured strength training
✔️ Training that ensures all major muscle groups are worked across the week
✔️ Progressive overload (getting stronger over time — on purpose)
✔️ Learning good technique so your body feels better, not worse
✔️ Building a skillset, not just burning calories

And when I say “it works”… this is what I mean:

💪 It helps you build real strength
So things feel easier - not harder - over time

💪 It improves your joint stability + mobility
So your body feels more supported and less niggly

💪It helps reduce aches and pain
Because your body is stronger, not just stretched

💪It builds function
So you can lift, carry, move, and live with confidence

💪And it future-proofs your body
So you can keep doing the things you love for years to come

And yes…

It can still be done:
👉in your pyjamas
👉 while listening to your favourite podcast
👉 in your living room
👉 in 10 minutes

Because strength training doesn’t need to look intense to be effective.

But it does need to be intentional.

Strength training doesn’t have to mean 45min workouts in a gym while wearing lycra

It can be simple.

As long as it’s well programmed and key strength training principles are applied:

🌟 Adequate Challenge
🌟 Progressive Overload
🌟 Consistency

That’s the idea behind my 10ADAY Method.

And it works (just ask the women in my GLOW10 Tribe)

It’s simple:

✅ 3 exercises
✅ about 10 minutes
✅ done most days

No gym membership needed. No “all-or-nothing” thinking.
Just small doses of strength that add up over time.

Today’s 10ADAY targets:

QUADS
BACK
SHOULDERS+

Try this combo:

1️⃣ Sumo squat to upright row. 8-12x

2️⃣ Supported split stance Row 8-12x each side

3️⃣ Half kneel overhead press 8 reps with each knee up.

Move slowly and with intention.
Repeat for 3 rounds with a little rest in between.
That’s your 10 minutes.

Remember, one workout gives you a taste. A progressive program gives you results. That’s what GLOW10 is built for. DM me GLOW10 if you want to know more 💪

You know what I hear all the time from women who finally start strength training?

“Why didn’t I start sooner?”

Not because it suddenly felt easy.
Not because they felt confident from day one.

But because they realised…

Starting wasn’t the hardest part.

Starting as a beginner is hard.

You don’t know if you’re doing it right
You second-guess yourself
You feel awkward, unsure… maybe even a bit silly

And it’s very easy to think:
“I’ll wait until I feel more ready.”

But do you know what’s harder?

Waking up every morning with a stiff, sore back
and just accepting that’s “normal now”

Thinking twice before lifting something… just in case

Planning your day around what your body can handle

Avoiding weights altogether because you don’t feel confident

Slowly losing strength (and bone density)… without even realising it’s happening

Starting messy is hard.
But staying stuck is harder.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and actually learn how to lift at home —
my Learn to Lift at Home Challenge will walk you through it step by step.

More supervision doesn’t always equal safer training.

In fact — sometimes it does the opposite.

Because when someone else is “in charge”…

you stop listening.

You override that feeling of:
👉 “this doesn’t feel right”

You assume:
👉 “they must know better than me”

And that’s where problems can start.

Not because your form wasn’t perfect…
But because you weren’t taught how to interpret what your body was telling you.

This is the missing skill.

And it’s why so many women feel:

confident in a class
but completely lost on their own

In this week’s podcast, I break down:
→ how to know if you’re doing an exercise properly
→ what actually causes injuries (it’s not what you think)
→ how to build confidence lifting — without needing someone watching you

And if you’re ready to actually learn this skill:

(comment L2L and I’ll send you the link)

Because the goal isn’t to feel safe only when someone is watching you…

It’s to feel strong and capable in your own body.
