🧱 Standing Push-Ups

  • Jun 22
  • 1 min read

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!

💪 Tricep Dips – Arm Strength Without the Weights

  • Jun 21
  • 1 min read

Tricep dips are a brilliant bodyweight move that target the backs of the arms, right where we often feel a bit wobbly! But they’re doing more than just toning. When done with control and good form, they also support your posture and shoulder stability.


In this version, we’re sitting on the floor, fingers pointing towards the hips, spine tall. As you slowly bend the elbows behind you, you’ll feel the work deep in the triceps while encouraging control through the shoulder girdle. 🔥


💡 Why it’s worth doing:

✔️ Strengthens triceps and upper arms

✔️ Supports shoulder joint stability

✔️ Improves posture (strong arms help hold you tall)

✔️ Builds functional strength for daily movements like pushing up from chairs or beds


You don’t need big movements, slow, controlled dips are far more effective than fast, floppy ones. Quality over quantity every time.


Feel the shake? That’s your strength waking up 💥How many of these dips can you do today?

Fact Friday - Use It or Lose It – Why Movement Matters as You Age

  • Jun 20

“Mobility now means independence later.”


As we age, our muscles naturally shrink and our joints become stiffer, unless we keep moving. Regular movement helps maintain strength, balance and co-ordination.


And no, it’s never too late to start! In fact, muscle loss can be reversed with consistent activity, even after 60.


Pilates is brilliant for this. It strengthens deep postural muscles, improves flexibility and helps with stability, things we all need to help stay active and injury-free as we get older. Think of it as training your future self to move with ease and confidence 💪


How are you staying mobile today?
