Bev has been absolutely smashing it in our strength and balance class 👏
Can anyone beat this?

Single leg balance is a simple but important test of strength, coordination, and fall risk.

As a general guide:
• Under 60 years aim for 30 seconds
• 60–69 years aim for 15–20 seconds
• 70+ years aim for 10–15 seconds

If single leg balance feels shaky, that’s not a failure, it’s a sign that balance is something worth training.

The good news? Balance improves at any age with the right strength and stability work.

If you’re testing at home, make sure you’re near a bench, wall, or sturdy support and stop if you feel unsteady.

Want to test yourself? Try it at home and let us know how you go 👀

In healthy adults, skeletal muscle is responsible for about 70–80% of glucose uptake after a meal.

When muscle isn’t used or isn’t healthy, glucose is less easily taken up, blood sugar stays higher for longer, and more of that excess energy is stored as body fat over time.

This is why building and using our muscle regularly plays such an important role in blood sugar control and long term health.

How heavy do you need to lift to imporve my bone health?

This was a question from our last workshop 👇

For bone density to improve, the weight needs to be challenging enough for you, not just something you can move easily.

A simple rule of thumb:
🔸 If you can do more than 8 reps, it’s probably not heavy enough
🔸 Ideally, you’re working around 5–6 reps, with only 1–2 left in the tank

That point where the last rep feels tough?
That’s where bone gets the signal to adapt.

There’s no one “perfect” weight, it’s person dependent, which is why assessment and progression matter.

💡 Easy test at home:
Pick a weight, try a squat, and see how many reps you can do.
If you sail past 8, it’s time to go heavier (safely).

Save this if bone health matters to you 🦴
And send it to someone still lifting light “just in case”.

Are you feeling nervous about the menopause transition?

Women can lose up to 10% of their bone density in the first 5 years of menopause… but starting strength training before you get there can make a huge difference.

Building strength early can slow bone + muscle loss, reduce stiffness, and make hormonal changes so much easier to manage.

If you want to take control of your menopause journey, call us on 9907 9667 and get your muscles and bones on track today. 💛💪🏼
