STRENGTH TRAINING
You might be doing plenty of walking or cycling, attend the local pilates session and calming the joints and nervious system with yoga, but what are you doing for your bones, heart and muscular system?
Strength training is not just about lifting weights, its about working multiple joints and muscle groups at the same time - compound exercises.
Lifting weights is fundamental to bone health and building muscle strength.
Lifting weights targets and loads the bones, and reduces the susceptibilty for fractures.
Lifting weights, either at a heavy or moderate intensity training, matters in midlife. Movements such as squats, deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, overhead press, rows, pushups, pullups are all compound movements that replicate activities in daily life.
Strong Bodies Strong Minds Fitness offers week day strength training for all ages and levels of fitness.
Come join us and feel the difference strength training can do for you, your bones and muscle health.
Compound exercise will help you remain active, independent, and fracture-free.
All group training sessions are based at Killcare Beach.

It seem that right now we have women struggling to feel balanced - Strong, healthy, individual,
but are being pulled in by the latest trends.
👉Consume supplements (to reduce weight, stop cellulite, stay youthful, prevent aging)
👉Take ice baths for inflammation
👉And finally be prescribed synthetic medications for symptoms of PMDD, endometriosis, depression, anxiety, joint pain, bloating etc
So after doing all of the mentioned, are you feeling balanced?
Are you feeling in charge of your own health and well-being?
Has anyone looked at your hormones and offered you natural based hormones that work with your body instead of blocking and disrupting your hormones?
Exercising regularly, lifting weights, good nutrition and sleep are a must, but if your body is not functioning well then you will continue to be out of balance.
Balance comes from knowing your body, knowing how hormones work in you.
If you want to be in charge of your own body start following Dr Louise Newson. She shares health reports and proven medical data that supports women and men's hormonal health.
Attached is just one of many podcasts cast aimed at all ages of women. Stop suffering and start living balanced.
Your health is in your hands.

Not all ‘estrogen’ is the same and it’s really important we are clear what we are talking about so women are getting the treatment that is right for them.
For example, ethinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen and it can flare up endometriosis. But estradiol is a natural, anti-inflammatory form of estrogen and in many women it can help improve the underlying cause of endometriosis. Progesterone is very anti-inflammatory whereas progestogens (synthetic forms of progesterone) can increase inflammation in our bodies.
Many women with endometriosis are prescribed contraceptives which all contain synthetic hormones. Why are these women not being offered natural, body identical hormones?
