I'm turning 40 this year. And I've been doing this for a long time.
Honestly? I'm grateful. Not everyone gets to feel this way in their body at this age — and I don't take that lightly.
Something I can't unsee since I've been deep in this work: how much we all sit. The average is 164 hours a month. Help!!!

And then people tell me they're scared to lift weights because they don't want to look bulky. I want to debunk that right now. 2 to 3 hours of strength training a week will not make you bulky. It will make you healthy. It will keep your joints strong, your metabolism awake, your posture upright. That's it.

Research is clear — movement is one of the strongest predictors of longevity. Not just how long you live. How well. Muscle mass after 40 is directly linked to independence, cognitive function, and quality of life as you age. You're not training for aesthetics. You're training for your future self.

This is what Plexus is about. Not perfection. Not performance. Just — keep moving. Keep your body in the game.

You have more time than you think. And less than you want to waste.

The other day my daughter asked if she could join me on my run. Not because I asked her. Just because she wanted to be with me. 🥹

And recently my son had school holidays — the kid who loves nothing more than sleeping in — and the first thing he asked was if he could come to the gym with us.

I used to do what every parent does. Soccer, gymnastics, dance, basketball… you name it, we tried it. And none of it stuck. Not one thing. So I stopped pushing.

Because what I realised is that the most powerful thing you can do as a parent has nothing to do with signing them up for the right sport.

It's leading by example. Every single day they watch us move, they see how we feel, they see the energy it gives us. And slowly, quietly, they want that too.

So if you're a parent — don't stress about finding the right activity. Focus on the fun and the consistency of movement. Make it part of your life and they will make it part of theirs.

Teach them young 💪🤍

Sitting all day weakens your abs.
Posture drops. The core switches off.

Most people ignore it until pain shows up.

Abs from your chair.
Short, focused movement you can do during the workday to wake up your core and support your body in minutes.

This is the first Moveua session with Jon.

Building a company with your partner changes everything.
No masks.
No pretending.
You learn fast what’s real — and what isn’t.
That’s how Plexus was built. Years of persistence. Learning constantly through real clients.Some of them still training with us after nearly 20 years.
Nothing makes us prouder than seeing people stay strong, healthy — and in some cases even reverse conditions like osteoporosis through consistent work.
We never chased trends.
We co-founded our own method.
And we learned how to grow — not just as founders, but as partners.
So expansion isn’t a sudden move.
It’s simply the next evolution.
No rushing.
No big announcements.
Just opening the door to a bigger horizon.

I often get asked:
“How long can you work out during pregnancy?”
My honest answer is simple:as long as you feel good.This photo was taken at 37 weeks, during my second pregnancy.I stayed active the whole way through — listening to my body, adapting, slowing down when needed, moving when it felt right. And still…
I ended up having an emergency C-section.
That experience taught me something important I always share with women now:
Movement is powerful. Preparation is wise.
But pregnancy and birth are not something we fully control.
You can do “everything right” and still need to pivot.
And that doesn’t mean you failed — it means you responded.
So if you’re pregnant and moving:
• Move to feel good, not to prove something
• Respect your energy day by day
• Strength is also flexibility
• Planning is great — being adaptable is greater
Your body is intelligent.
Trust it. Support it. Be kind to it. 🤍
Every pregnancy. Every birth. Every woman — different.

Each day, 1%.
Plexus is not only Pilates.
Strength is a core part of our method.
Jon is an orthopedic physiotherapist, and our work is built on over 20 years of hands-on experience in movement, rehab, and training.
One thing is clear:
strength matters as much as mobility and cardio.
From around your 30s, we naturally start losing muscle if we don’t train it.
Using kilos isn’t about aesthetics — it supports joints, bones, posture, metabolism, and long-term health.
Move well.
Get strong.
Repeat.

Social media will tell you to reset, fix, and push harder.
Plexus says something different.
Your body doesn’t need punishment.
It needs support.
Strength.
Consistency.
Space to recover.
This year isn’t about extremes or starting over.
It’s about building a body that carries you through real life — with energy, stability, and confidence.
Move better.
Live stronger.
Save this if you’re choosing longevity over burnout.

Here’s the truth.
If you’re a woman and you’re not lifting weights — you’re working against your biology.

Muscle isn’t just about tone or strength.
It’s a living tissue that protects your hormones, bones, metabolism, brain, and heart.

Hormones:
Estrogen supports muscle growth and recovery. When it drops (especially in your 30s–40s), muscle mass declines — unless you lift. Strength training helps regulate insulin, cortisol, and estrogen levels naturally.

Metabolism:
Every kilo of muscle burns energy even at rest. More muscle = higher metabolic rate = better fat regulation, energy, and mood. Cardio doesn’t build that foundation — resistance training does.

 Bone Density:After 30, women start losing up to 1% of bone mass per year. Weight-bearing training sends signals to your body to keep building bone tissue. It’s the single most powerful protection against osteoporosis.

Mental Health:
Lifting changes brain chemistry — boosting serotonin and dopamine, reducing anxiety, and improving focus. It literally rewires your stress response.

 Longevity:
The strongest predictor of longevity isn’t how much you weigh — it’s how much muscle and strength you can maintain. VO₂ max and grip strength are medical indicators of how long and how well you’ll live.

So stop training to shrink.
Start training to sustain.

At Plexus, we don’t chase skinny — we build strength, stability, and resilience.
We train the body that’s in front of us — not for vanity, but for vitality, longevity, and presence.

It’s not just about movement; it’s about harmony. When your body flows, your mind follows. Find balance, strength, and serenity in every breath.

For the bingo wings, my best advice is to do 5 minutes of tricep dips a day and focus on eating a good amount of protein.
