Why should you be doing reverse hyperextensions?

This piece of equipment is one of the best ROI tools for back health, posture, strength and performance.

Why the Reverse Hyper Is Different
• Creates spinal distraction while loading posterior chain.
• Trains control through flexion → extension.
• Strengthens without axial compression.

Strength Without Impacting Recovery
• Low CNS stress so can be trained frequently
• Use as accessory exercise on heavy days or on recovery days

Rehab Benefits
• Easily scale the load and range of motion to work for almost all irritability levels
• Strengthens without compression
• Promotes blood flow and spinal confidence

If you don’t have access to this piece of equipment you can also use a GHD to do hyper extensions.

Need guidance?

I’m here to help.

Just send me a DM.

After doing 2 CrossFit quarter finals workouts yesterday, today was all about active recovery ❤️‍🩹

First up was pilates with Trudy then it was HIIT .2444

It seems ironic that I received my confirmation email for the Sydney marathon the day after finishing the CrossFit quarter finals 😅

Looking forward to starting my training after Easter.

But right now it’s time for recovery and planning some special family time over this holiday weekend. 🥰

This poem by .poet really resonated with me.

Sometimes I grieve my youth but mostly I’m really happy to be alive and have the pleasure of watching my four amazing children carve their way in this world.

Today was day 84 / 365 days of joyful movement.

After a terrible night’s sleep I woke up with a stiff neck and not much energy.

I spent most of my time at the gym mobilising my tired body and then did a scaled version of the workout of the day.

As always I’m glad I moved my body today because I felt so much better afterwards. 🥰

Looking forward to an early night tonight.

Tell me friend did this poem resonate with you too?

What do you miss most about your youth?

What do you love most about being in midlife?

Well this is somewhat exciting and somewhat terrifying. 🤣

Plenty of back and shoulder mobility needed for most of these movements.

Will be a fun weekend 😆

Today was Day 83 / 365 days of joyful movement.

I started the day with my studio Pilates session and then participated in the HIIT class .2444

Day 78 / 365 days of joyful movement.

The lunchtime crew .2444 really enjoyed getting “swole and flexy” with coach today.

We’re a chatty bunch so we often get sent out for a walk before doing a thorough warmup, a strength piece (which was seated press today) and we usually finish with a strong WOD.

The emphasis on strength and mobility is perfect for those of us over 50. 💪🏼🤩

I also stayed behind and did some Zone 2 cardio after class. 🥰

What type of movement have you been enjoying lately?

Back in the 90s it was common practice for models to substitute ci******es for meals to maintain the “heroin chic” thin body ideal that the fashion designers preferred at the time.

Thank goodness we started to make progress with the body positivity movement from about 2014 onwards.

However, with the recent rise in the use of weight loss drugs amongst celebrities, we’re now unfortunately seeing a return to the “skinny is greater than healthy” mindset.

Eating disorders amongst young people are again on the rise.

Women who are now going through the menopause transition are seen as easy targets for weight loss grifters.

That’s one of the many reasons that I continue to show up on social media and demonstrate what a healthy, physically active woman in her 50s actually looks like.

Not some AI generated or heavily filtered version of perfection.

The real sweaty, messy haired, funny lifting face version of a mum of four getting in her daily exercise.

When you concentrate more on the number on the bar rather than the number on the scale staying well fed is a must.

I love this quote from

The more positive role models that we can expose our young people and ourselves to the better.

What other accounts would you recommend that help you maintain a positive body image?

P.S. Today is day 77 / 365 days of joyful movement.
Today I had a PT session, did some bar muscle up progressions and completed the workout of the day .2444
