Floor transitions aren't just one movement—they’re a symphony of skills. 🎻

From leg strength and shoulder stability to mobility in every joint, it takes a mix of balance, timing, and (most importantly) trust in your own body. How’s your "floor-to-standing" feeling today?

Come and try a Strength and Balance class with Jo to improve this skill...

Strength isn’t just about building muscle in isolation — it’s about how well your body organizes that strength when you’re actually moving through life. 💪

Lifting heavier builds capacity, but real-world strength is integrated when you walk, reach, carry, change direction, or react to the unexpected.

That’s the difference between being strong in the gym and confident, efficient, and capable in everyday movement.

This term in our strength and balance classes we spend 5 minutes at the end learning a new mobility release movement. We started with the feet and have made the exercises simple (and able to do with a tennis ball if mobility balls weren't available). I've been encouraging curiosity and consistency - try it at home and do a little bit every day. The key to exercise in general. One of my class attendees has two regular "helpers" 😊

Term 4 classes have started!

We have added two classes back into Tuesday for term 4- one starting at 8.55am and one at 10am.

Thursdays class remains the same 10-11am.

All classes challenge the body, brain and bones. Class sizes are small and friendly and exercises vary.

In term 4 we are running a promotion if you bring a friend to class, the friend doesn't pay.

"I hope I die like that"

Sure, it's sad a woman that made such an impact on our world is no longer with us.
Jane Goodall did what she loved doing right up to the day she died and then went peacefully in her sleep. We can't choose the way we die but we can influence our lifestyle to avoid chronic illness as we age...

Not me in the pic!

But very similar to the stage I am at with my goal of doing 6 pull ups unassisted in a row.
It's much harder than it looks.
Having a plan has helped and being able to see progressive steps and where I'm going next is motivating.

Consistency and perseverance is the way to go with any exercise goal.
