Very shortly, I will be celebrating my 65th birthday. I feel the same as I did when I was 30 and when I was 40; although I am much stronger than I was then. I feel privileged to have reached this age when so many don’t make it, including my mum who died at the age of just 60. Am I planning retiring? Not - A - Chance!!! I love what I do and I love helping my clients get stronger and more confident in their movement. I have so many things I want to do and I will need at least another 65 years to accomplish them!!

A roll down is a beautiful way to start your Pilates practice and warm the body up and warm the spine up. It also gives you a little bit of time to get your head in the game. All of my clients loves the roll down. Try it and let me know what you think.

The baby arc is a beautiful small piece of equipment that can be used for many things. I love to stretch my back over this and follow it up with some exercises to activate everything again. It’s become a firm favourite with my clients and I’m so glad to have rediscovered it after it it has laying in my garage since Covid.!!!

This morning I intentionally set the alarm clock for 5am. I got myself into the studio to do a weights workout as my trainer has gone on holiday. I want to squeeze every drop out of today so it had to be an early start . Mindfully and intentionally doing something like adding it to your diary increases your chances of actually getting the job done. What are you intentionally going to do today?

Normal or optimal. Do you know the difference? I thought I did. For example, If we go to the GP and we get a blood test result that falls in the normal range, we’re pretty happy and we readily accept this. It does depend on whose results yours are being compared to and if it happens that you are being compared to an unhealthy population, then your results are going to fall short of ideal. Optimal or ideal is the best result you could have for your health. So please ask questions.

Here’s a little movement snack for you. It’ll just take a couple of minutes to do these three simple exercises while you’re sitting down, especially if you’ve been sedentary for a little while.
