Reasons Women Over 50 Should Practice playing with the ground! Getting up and down, pushing, kneeling, moving on all 4s, rolling, twisting - all the variations.

You know that feeling when your feet feel heavy, like you’re just plodding along?
That bounce, that spring in your step — it’s not gone, it’s just waiting to be reawakened.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your vitality, energy, and confidence as you age?
Practice changing positions — especially moving to and from the ground.

These ground-to-stand transitions aren’t just “functional fitness” — they:
✅ Help preserve the elasticity of your fascia, your body’s connective tissue web that thrives on movement variation.
✅ Re-train your nervous system to respond instinctively and confidently, so you’re not stuck in fear if you do lose balance.
✅ Build that subtle strength, coordination, and awareness that makes your movement feel light, responsive, and full of life force.

When you regularly explore different ways of getting up and down — from twisting, rolling, kneeling, lunging, crawling, to using your hands and feet in new combinations — you’re training your resilience.
You’re also training your autonomy, adaptability, and instinctual responses — things no gym machine can give you.

This is the type of practice that keeps you feeling ready, springy, agile, alive.

So when life trips you up (literally or metaphorically), your body doesn’t freeze —

Welcome to my brain 🤞

I’m messy
I take notes
I LOVE postits
I feel very satisfied when I complete a task, cross a line out, then I tear the postit up into little pieces and throw it in the bin.

The loop is closed.
Satisfaction galore.

Find a system & way of being/moving/living that works for you.

Screens or notebooks?
& it HAS to be my favourite pen of the moment & I never use the orange postits that come in the pack of 4.

I mean who decided a pale orange was a good match for neon pink yellow & green…

I’m curious- who here still loves pen & paper or are you organised digitally?

Why combining movements (like the side kick through, crab & tripod get-up) is a game-changer for women over 50

The tripod get-up isn’t just one movement — it’s a gateway into a whole sequence of movements.

You practice strength, balance, and coordination — but what’s even more powerful is that you learn how to transition between shapes, postures, and positions. Life rarely happens in isolated exercises. So why should your training?

This movement teaches you how to get up and down from the ground — but in doing so, it also reveals hidden movements:
✨ The spiral through the hips.
✨ The push through the hand.
✨ The weight shift through the foot.

These “in-between” movements are where confidence, adaptability, and body awareness live.

This is why I include it (and combos like it) in my 4-Day Movement Snacks Challenge.

Here’s what happens when you explore combinations instead of just positions:

✅ You build real-world strength, not just gym strength.
✅ You connect your breath and body in motion.
✅ You gain mobility that translates to actual freedom of movement.
✅ You become less afraid of the ground — and more confident in getting up.

The floor is your friend. Movement is not just a set of reps — it’s a conversation with your body. And the more you explore, the more fluent you become.

💥 Want to move better, feel stronger, and fall in love with your body’s capabilities again?

Most women over 50 don’t realise this… your mindset around movement is holding you back far more than the movements themselves.

We tell ourselves the usual things:
“I don’t have time.”
“I don’t have space.”
“I need to be fitter before I start.”
“I’ll do it properly when life slows down.”

But the truth?
You don’t need more time, space, or intensity.
You need a mindset that’s open to the possibility that small, consistent actions change everything.

The 5-minute flow you see here proves it.
No equipment.
No big warm-up.
No perfect setup.
Just natural movements stitched together in a way your body already understands.

And when you practise like this, something shifts.

A client said to me yesterday,
“It’s so nice to get stronger without feeling sore all the time.”
That’s the health-first approach — strength without suffering, progress without punishment.

Over 4–6 weeks, the moves that once felt impossible become automatic.
Your posture improves.
Your balance returns.
You move through your day with more energy, more focus, and more confidence.
Your reflexive, unconscious actions — the way you get off the floor, walk down the stairs, pick up your shopping, reach for something overhead — start to feel easier, not harder.

And the quality of your life rises with it.

This is what most women miss:
It’s not about working harder.
It’s about working with your body, not against it.
Consistency beats intensity — every single time.

If you know you need help with both the mindset and the movement, comment START below.
I’ll send you my free Movement Snacks Guide and you’ll also get access to the free trainings happening before the end of the year.

Let’s begin with 5 minutes.
Your future self will thank you 🤍

Reasons women over 50 can still feel stiff even after doing yoga every morning for the past 20 years … this is the missing piece. ✨

Strength, mobility, and ease don’t come from repeating the same shapes. They come from variation — different angles, loads, directions, speeds, rhythms, and challenges.

Your body is designed for 360-degree strength. Forward, backward, sideways, rotational, spiralling, pushing, pulling, crawling and rising. But when you only move in familiar lanes, your strength becomes one-dimensional — and so do your imbalances.

This is why transitions matter just as much as the poses.
The in-between moments train coordination, timing, balance, and reflexive strength. They’re where your body learns to behave like a connected system again — hips talking to spine, shoulders talking to core, left side talking to right.

In this series you’ll see:
🐾 Underswitch taps — rotational control + cross-body strength
🦂 Full scorpio reach — freeing the spine + hips
🥋 Side kick-throughs — diagonal + spiral strength
🌟 Starfish rolls — reconnecting upper/lower body
🦀 Crab reach variations — shoulder + glute synergy
🧗‍♀️ Inchworms — full-line strength + mobility
🏹 Squat variations — narrow, wide, curtsy for hip resilience

Why this matters (especially in midlife):
• Variation keeps joints healthy + tissues adaptable
• Transitions rebuild real-life strength (walking, lifting, catching yourself)
• Rotation restores the mobility most people lose first
• 360° movement = 360° stability
• In-between moments smooth out imbalances
• Varied movement sharpens the nervous system, balance + body awareness

You don’t need perfection or long routines.
You just need more variation — more shapes, more transitions, more options.

That’s when stiffness reduces.
That’s when strength feels natural.
And that’s when your whole body becomes connected and confident again.

Feelings about feelings & some quotes I love & hold dearly.
Which ones resonate with you?

When a rock meets a C.A.R.

When a Lego sit rock meets a hip CAR you find the best hip mobility drill ever!

The result is a highly effective combo for restoring hip mobility, nervous system regulation, and long-term movement resilience.

Top Benefits of the Combo:

🔁 Restores Functional Hip Mechanics

Lego Sit Rocks gently mobilize the hips through flexion and external rotation in a closed-chain, ground-based pattern.

Hip CARs isolate the joint and build strength and control through the entire available range.

🧠 Re-maps the Brain-Body Connection

Hip CARs enhance proprioceptive input and motor control, deepening the brain’s awareness of joint position and function.

💤 Regulates the Nervous System Through Rocking

The rhythmic, grounded motion of Lego Sit Rocks taps into your parasympathetic nervous system — promoting calm, reducing muscular tension, and reinforcing a sense of safety in movement.

This is especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic tightness, stress, or fear around movement.

🦴 Supports Joint Capsule Health

Controlled articular rotations stimulate synovial fluid production and maintain the integrity of connective tissue around the joint — essential for aging joints.

🧩 Integrates Mobility with Stability

The flow between macro (rocking pattern) and micro (articular control) restores movement variability and prepares the hips for more complex demands — walking, climbing, squatting, and play.

This combo not only improves how your hips move — it rewires how they feel.
Smart, soothing, and strength-building — exactly what midlife bodies deserve.

If any of this sounds cool to you, join me for my Free 4 Day Movement Snacks Challenge starting on Monday July 14th so you cna start creating your own toolkit of time efficient feel good moves to get your energy and strength back and build the foundations of a sustainable movement practice.
