Strength is built on skill first. 💥

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or adding a new exercise to your repertoire, the priority should be the same, learn the movement correctly.

Forget intensity. Forget volume. Forget chasing weight or reps.

First - learn the move.
Then - own the move.
After that - spend every session refining the move.

Your body needs time to understand movement patterns and build tolerance through the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. Rushing that process is where problems start.
Strength and skill takes time and patience but you will still be progressing!
And let’s clear something up: soreness is NOT proof of a great workout.

Yes, you should feel that you’ve trained. You should feel challenged. But being so sore you can’t train again for several days is not a badge of honour , it’s poor management and programming!

Train to improve.
Train to practice.
Train to become stronger, more efficient, and more resilient every session.
“Don’t practice until you get it write, practice until you can’t get it wrong”

Mastery first. Intensity later. 🔥

This is harsh but I heard someone say about it being normal when aging to be on a walker, or sticks!
And I am always surprised when I hear, “I hate working out.”

Really?
Because what you’re actually saying is:
“I’m happy getting weaker, stiffer, more tired, more dependent… & dying earlier.” Or as it’s been said “dying longer, not thriving, just surviving!”

Bit harsh? Maybe.
But so is spending the last 10- 15 years of your life barely being able to move or wipe your own 🍑. Think it won’t happen to you? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PREVENT IT?

Most people think they’re the exception.
“My grandad smoked and lived till 90.”
“I have big bones, all my family are big”
“I’m too busy.”
“I hate exercise.”

Meanwhile they can’t get down to tie their shoelaces, avoiding mirrors, struggling to get off the sofa, and calling it “normal ageing.”

That’s not ageing.
That’s neglect. If you are changing your environment to suit your lack of strength, mobility or movement who are living in denial and have a huge problem…..

Movement is a basic human responsibility.
Your body is built to squat, carry, walk, lift, reach, climb, play, dance, and get up off the bloody floor!

And before anyone says it, no, you do not need to live in the gym.

Go for a walk.
Lift something moderately heavy.
Play with your kids.
Swing a kettlebell.
Get outside.
Move your body because one day there’ll come a time when you wish you still could. I am sure you will go to any care home and they did not see this happening to them!

You don’t have to love training.
Most days you just need to do it anyway.

Because the alternative?
More medications. And more meds for the side effects of those first meds that seem to be doing nothing for your health.
Less freedom.
Less confidence.
Less life.

I’d rather be the 54 yr old deadlifting, hiking, riding my Harley and living fully than sitting in a chair telling everyone how old I feel.

You hate working out?
Fine.

I hate the thought of losing the ability to live far more.
Do not wait until it’s too late and be saying

Roughly 75% of chronic conditions are lifestyle issues.

Yesterday at the beach……wind, open space…….🐾 🌊

Walk. Breathe. Lift. Move. Clear your head.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is step away from the noise and return to open space , where the mind settles and perspective comes back.

Strength isn’t only built in the gym.
It’s built in the moments you choose discipline over chaos and peace over pressure.

💥 Men vs Women in Training – Is There Really a Difference?

In short ✅ Yes… and ✅ No. It depends.

AND……

The fundamentals are universal:
🔁 Progressive overload
🛌 Recovery
🥗 Nutrition
📈 Consistency

No exceptions. No shortcuts.
👊 Muscle is muscle.
Fundamentally, all our muscles are the same. They respond to tension, load, and progression. That means one thing:

➡️ You need to train hard.
➡️ You need to train heavy.
This is all relative to you! It’s your journey, nobody else’s!

Stop overcomplicating it.

I’ve lived this. In my bodybuilding day, figure fitness, body fitness, bikini, the rules didn’t change because I was a woman.

Muscle grows from overload.
“Tone” is muscle.
Fat loss reveals it.

Your hormonal profile? That’s your limiter, not your effort.
⚠️ And stop turning strength training into cardio.
You’re not doing yourself any favours. Recovery drives results. 🛌 forget the high intensity bootcamp BS……I will cover more on this over the coming weeks!

Yes, women often want glutes.
Then train them properly:

🏋️‍♀️ Heavy deadlifts
🏋️‍♀️ Squats

But don’t stop there.

A sculpted physique demands:
✔️ Delts
✔️ Arms
✔️ Quads
✔️ Full-body development

The only real difference between men and women?

👉 The end goal
👉 The emphasis on certain muscle groups
That’s it.
When I trained, I prioritised arms, delts, glutes, quads, hammies because that’s what the category demanded.
The method? Still the same. Structured in 4-6 week cycles or rep ranges & exercise variations eg sumo deadlift, RDL, conventional or front squat, back squat, Bulgarian squat….

I’m 54 and still holding muscle.
That’s not luck. That’s being consistent.

If you want results, start with showing up. I’ll be breaking this down further over the next few weeks; what works, what doesn’t, and what you need to stop wasting time on.
I will cover what I have found in my experience with training men and women!
I trained with a training partner when I competed for over 6 yrs, safe to say we knew each other well, when we were going to fail a lift, when we were just off……..my recovery from sets was much faster than his! I could maintain my rep range better too More on this over the coming weeks……

Big conversations are happening right now around , , and how we assess risk—and Dr. Nick Norwitz is right in the middle of it.

In this new Telegraph article on Dr. Norwitz, he challenges the idea that cholesterol should be viewed in isolation and calls for more personalized, nuanced care—something that’s gaining serious traction globally.

If that sounds familiar, it should.

Dr. Norwitz is prominently featured in The Cholesterol Code, where we explore these same questions:
👉 Are we relying too heavily on single markers like LDL?
👉 What happens when real-world patient outcomes don’t match conventional expectations?
👉 And how can better tools—like imaging and metabolic context—change the conversation?

This article is a great companion to the film and a glimpse into why this discussion is only just beginning.

My experience with and I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical about red light therapy at first. But I persevered!
I was dealing with perimenopause which gave me severe rosacea, chronic anxiety, brain fog, fatigue and lots more.
My diet has always been high protein and fats, no sugar or processed junk and I drink plenty of water, so after some research I got some red lights and they definitely seemed to have helped……
Huberman talks about skin benefits, potential collagen boost, reduced inflammation, and healing support.

And as you can see by the images the improvement (no filters used) slightly embarrassing to share! 🙈

But here’s the kicker……Coco 🐾who had a lump on her head from when I got her from the rescue centre over 3 years ago and it had started to get bigger, I was about to have the vet check it out, started chilling under the red light with me and the lump has almost disappeared! Placebo, coincidence?
Maybe. But my skin’s calmer and flare-ups are fewer it does flare up if I am travelling and eating out or those rare occasions I eat sugar or carbs, or under a lot of stress. But eating my protein, staying hydrated and eating a small amount of vegetables has helped me.

It’s been worth using the red lights and Coco still snoozes under the lights with me.

Menopause/perimenopause get blamed for muscle loss. That’s not wholly accurate. The mechanism is the same as in men: people lose muscle when they stop training hard & stop eating enough protein. For many women, the issue is compounded by never having done resistance training in the first place.

HRT can help, but it is not a solution on its own. Resistance training is. At any age, muscle responds to load. Train hard enough and eat sufficient protein, and you can build & maintain muscle well beyond menopause!

The data is clear. Fewer than 1 in 5 women over 50 meet basic muscle-strengthening guidelines. 🙄
Over 65, it drops to around 1 in 10. At the same time, the evidence base has never been stronger: resistance training improves strength, muscle mass, power, bone density & function across the lifespan, as outlined by the American College of Sports Medicine position stand.

This is not a knowledge gap. This is a failure to get off your 🍑 & work it!
There is still resistance to training heavy driven by outdated messaging and fear of getting “bulky.”
That concern is BS! Building significant muscle mass is difficult; avoiding training guarantees you won’t. Have you ever heard of any woman complaining they are “Too Strong?” So quit the excuses!

The most effective intervention for a woman in midlife is simple: lift something heavy, and do it consistently. Twice per week is a minimum effective dose. No complex programming. No supplement stack. No need to train like a competitive lifter.

What is required is action. Load your body, progressively. Eat enough protein. Build strength. Maintain independence.

No excuses. Get to it! Your health is your responsibility!
