Essential Exercise Physiology

Life lately ✨

* Pilates, beach walks, beach swims, working at the studio in cronulla and the UNSW fatigue clinic, quality time with the family and the occasional gym session 🙃

Chat GPT encapsulates the chaos of work/ mum life balance that is my life! 🥲🤣

Did you know 66% of Australians over 50 have low bone density?

Osteoporosis isn’t just an older persons problem. Your 20s and 30s are peak bone-building years! The stronger your bones are now, the better they’ll be later on

Best exercises for bone health:
✅ Weight-bearing
✅ Impact
✅ Strength
✅ Balance

Aim for 2-3x per week with progressive overload to see the benefits and keep your bones strong 💪🏻

First hike of the year 👌🏻

📍 Three sisters, Blue Mountains

We are officially back into the swing of things!

As the holiday period has settled down and we’re finding our new routines for 2025 🙏🏻

Let’s keep making health and movement a priority. If you’ve set health and fitness goals, it’s time to check in. Does your routine reflect your goals?

If you need some help, I am offering private EP sessions and Pilates sessions in Cronulla 🙋🏼‍♀️ feel free to reach out

Back into our favourite esplanade walk 🙏🏻

We’ve been resting & recharging over the last few weeks! Spending some much needed time with the family 🙏🏻 🙌🏻

A break is always nice to clear your mind and reevaluate your goals.

So I’ve come back with a clear commitment to my health, once again 🙋🏼‍♀️

If you’re ready to make the same commitment and need an EP to help. Send me a DM 🤝

When you get to that point in the holiday where you need to move your body and lift a weight! 🙃

Thankful for hotel gyms 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yesterday opted for a no equipment Pilates session at home 🙋🏼‍♀️ considered getting outside for a run, but didn’t time it well with the rain..

Today we went for a walk along the esplanade 🙌🏻
See last slide for a strava snap - if it’s not on strava it doesn’t count.. 🤷🏼‍♀️
