Strength training just got another big vote of confidence 💪

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)—widely considered the gold standard in exercise science—has released its latest position stand on resistance training.

And the message is refreshingly simple:

👉 You don’t need perfect… you just need to start.

The biggest benefits come from going from not doing it → doing something consistently.

Here’s what really matters:

✔️ Consistency beats complexity
You don’t need advanced techniques or a perfect programme—regular training is what drives results.

✔️ Strength AND power matter
It’s not just about getting stronger—moving with speed and intent becomes increasingly important as we age.

✔️ There’s no one-size-fits-all
The best programme is the one that fits you—your goals, your lifestyle, and what you actually enjoy.

✔️ You don’t need a gym
Bodyweight, resistance bands, home workouts… they all work when done consistently.

✔️ Twice a week is a great start
Training all major muscle groups at least 2x per week can have a meaningful impact on strength, health, and function.

⸻

At True North Physio, this is exactly what we focus on:

✨ Individualised, evidence-based exercise
✨ Building confidence alongside strength
✨ Helping you find something that feels manageable—and sustainable

Because if it’s not something you can stick to, it’s not the right plan.

If you’ve been unsure where to start, or felt like you needed to “do it perfectly” before beginning—this is your reminder that you don’t.

Start simple. Stay consistent. Build from there 🤍

Back pain doesn’t always mean stop ❌

In fact, for most people with low back pain, the right kind of movement can be one of the most effective ways to feel better ✔️

As recommended by NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, which provides evidence-based guidance for healthcare in the UK), therapeutic exercise is a key part of managing low back pain.

It can help to:
– reduce pain
– improve strength and support around the spine
– restore movement and confidence
– help you get back to doing the things you enjoy

Group exercise (whether strength-based, aerobic or more mind–body like Pilates) is also recommended—what matters most is finding something that suits you and feels manageable.

You might also benefit from hands-on treatment like massage or joint mobilisation—but this works best alongside exercise, not instead of it.

It’s not about pushing through pain or doing more for the sake of it…
it’s about doing the right things, in the right way, at the right time.

If you’ve been told to just “rest” or you’re worried about making things worse, you’re not alone—but you’re not stuck.

With the right guidance, movement can feel safe again 🤍

If you’d like support, my classes and 1:1 sessions are designed to help you move with confidence.

March is for mobility.

100 squats a day.
2,800 reps.
All for Cancer Research UK 🤍

By the end, my glutes are stronger —
but also shorter. Tighter.

Why bother stretching?

Because strength creates adaptation.
Muscles shorten and thicken.
The nervous system increases tone.
You gain power — but sometimes lose range of movement.

And healthy ageing depends on maintaining flexibility.

Stretching doesn’t reduce strength.
It allows strength to exist through a larger range.

Mobility after strength helps the body feel balanced —
not just strong, but usable.

Because resilience isn’t built in muscle contraction alone.
