Zoe Jackson PT: PM Strength

If your lower back is constantly tight, achy, or "just tired" the fix probably isn't more stretching. It's building a stronger core. 💪

That's because the muscle doing the real work — your transverse abdominis — isn't the one you see in the mirror. It's the deep core muscles that wrap-around and acts like your spine's built-in support belt.

I've put together 4 simple moves that train it properly. No equipment, no gym, no 100-rep ab challenges 🙈 just the kind of quiet, consistent work that actually protects your back long term and builds a strong and stable core. Bonus...they are great for your pelvic floor too 💪🏻✨

I do these exercises twice a week. They can be done standalone or tagged onto the end of your other workouts.

Take a look, save it, and give it a try. Your future self (the one still picking up shopping bags pain-free) will thank you. 🤍

Two ways to train with PM Strength this coming September 💪🍂

I wanted to share what the difference is between my community class and my semi-private programme — so here's the breakdown, so you can pick what's right for you:

👯 THE COMMUNITY CLASS — for women who want to move together
A fun, energising 4-week group class (up to 12 spaces) covering core & pelvic stability, lower body & balance, upper body & posture, and full-body resilience. No 1:1 assessment, just come as you are and train alongside other women navigating the same stage of life.
📍 Octagon Room, Grassington Devonshire Institute
🗓️ Start date Tuesday 22nd September, 12–1pm. One session per week.
💷 £30 for the full 4-week block (your first session is FREE)
🔗 Booking: https://forms.gle/mWDeWZfpr8oQ3xxDA

🎯 THE SEMI-PRIVATE PROGRAMME — for women who want it tailored to them.
A small-group programme (max 8) that starts with a pre-course movement & symptom intake — so your sessions are adapted around things like prolapse, leaking, back pain or joint sensitivity. You'll follow a progressive 4-stage strength framework with individual coaching on form and loading, plus take-home 5-minute daily micro-drills to keep progress going between sessions.
📍 Obsidian Studio, Broughton Estate
🗓️ Tue or Wed, 9:30–10:30am
💷 £60/month — trial your first session before committing. One session per week.

Don’t underestimate what you can do with just your own bodyweight. 💪

When it comes to getting stronger, you don’t always need heavy weights or complicated gym equipment.

Bodyweight movements such as squats, lunges, push-ups, bridges, bird dogs, planks and rotational exercises are incredibly valuable — and they form the foundation of good strength and movement.

Learning to control your own body first teaches you how to push, pull, hinge, squat and balance safely.

And these are the movements we use every single day:

➡️ Getting down to the floor and back up
➡️ Climbing the stairs
➡️ Carrying the shopping
➡️ Improving balance and stability
➡️ Supporting your joints as you get older

If you’re struggling to control your own bodyweight, adding more weight isn’t necessarily the answer.

Build the foundations first. Then build from there.

Strength isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight possible. It’s about becoming stronger, more capable and more confident in everyday life. 💪

Bodyweight strength is actually what matters.

I'll be launching soon my bodyweight classes. Watch this space! Coming in September in the most beautiful setting 😍

Or if you prefer a 121 check out my programmes and prices! There is something for everyone!

Think you don’t have time to exercise? Science says 5 minutes a day is all it takes! ⏱️✨

A study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology revealed that doing just 5 minutes of slow, controlled bodyweight exercises every day significantly boosted strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and mental wellbeing in just 4 weeks. 🏋️☺️💪✨

The secret? Eccentric movements focusing on a slow, 5-second lowering phase to build muscle and mobility effectively without requiring heavy equipment or gym memberships.

This is exactly what my programmes are designed to do. Get people moving, starting small and focusing on functional movements that build strength needed for real life.

I promise you no fancy gyms or equipment needed. Just you, your bodyweight and a little bit of your time. 💕

Here is the exact 4-move routine you can do at home using just a chair and a wall. Ensure to repeat for 2-3 rounds.

💡 Pro Tip: As the moves get easier, you can progress to variations like single-leg squats, regular push-ups, or sit-ups! Want to know how message me! I offer a free taster session!

Small, consistent habits lead to big changes. 💪

Could you find 5 minutes today to give this a try?

Over 40 and want to get stronger but don’t know where to start? 💪

🦴 Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” but movement can be one of our strongest tools to fight back.

Bone is living tissue, constantly rebuilding and adapting. The right kind of exercise, especially resistance training and impact loading, helps stimulate bone strength and reduce fracture risk during and after menopause. 💥

As a trained Menopause Movement coach, I believe:

✨ Exercise is medicine for bone health
✨ Women deserve evidence-based training
✨ Through consistency and informed programming, women’s lives can be transformed.

It’s time to move beyond the “walking and light weights” era, I’m here to empower you with training that truly supports longevity, strength and confidence. 🔥
