Feel like you’re shrinking into your desk? Time to open up.

Arm stretches combined with a gentle back extension can do wonders for reversing that rounded, hunched-forward feeling many of us carry, especially after long periods of sitting or screen time.


Lifting the arms up, reaching tall and gently extending through the upper back helps lengthen the front of the body, reawaken postural muscles and give the spine a much-needed lift. Adding breath makes it even better — inhale to lift and expand, exhale to release tension.


💡 Why it feels so good:

✔️ Opens up the chest and shoulders

✔️ Relieves tightness through the upper back and neck

✔️ Encourages better posture and alignment

✔️ Supports spinal mobility and flexibility

✔️ Boosts circulation and energy levels


This stretch isn’t about bending as far back as you can, it’s about creating space. Think “length, not arch” and let the movement come from the upper spine, not the lower back.


Perfect for a morning reset or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up 🌤️. Just move… and feel the difference!


Give this movement a go today and let me know how it feels.

Your Lymph System Loves Movement

The lymphatic system clears waste and toxins from the body however, unlike your heart, it doesn’t have a pump. It relies on muscle movement to do its job.


When you’re inactive, that system slows down, which can lead to bloating, fatigue and a sluggish immune system. Movement, even gentle Pilates, walking or stretching keeps lymph flowing, helping your body feel lighter, cleaner and more energised. 💧


A few minutes of dynamic movement each day helps more than you think. You’re not just moving for strength, you’re moving for your health.

🧱 Standing Push-Ups

Not ready for the floor? The wall's got your back.


Standing push-ups are a brilliant way to build upper body strength without needing to get on the floor. Using a wall for resistance, you’ll strengthen your chest, arms and shoulders while also engaging your core and improving posture.


They’re perfect if you’re easing into strength work, recovering from injury or want a quick movement snack between meetings. Keep your spine long, elbows soft and focus on controlled movement in and out from the wall.


💡 Why they’re worth doing:

✔️ Builds strength in chest, shoulders and triceps

✔️ Engages your core for stability

✔️ Supports good posture and shoulder alignment

✔️ Low impact and joint-friendly

✔️ Easy to scale — the steeper your angle, the harder the work


Functional strength like this helps with everyday movements — pushing doors, lifting groceries, supporting better posture. And it’s surprisingly satisfying once you get into the rhythm 💪


Just you, a wall and a few minutes. No excuses — just move!
