Can we please stop saying “I ONLY did 10 minutes” 🙈

I only did a 10 minute workout today. I only went for a quick walk. I only managed a few exercises.
Why do we always add the “only”?!

Some days you might have 45 minutes to workout and other days you might only have 10. That’s just life.
It doesn’t mean those 10 minutes weren’t worth doing or that you may as well have done nothing.

This is exactly where that all or nothing thinking gets us. If I can’t do the full workout, I won’t bother at all.

Do the 10 minutes. Go for the quick walk. Do a few exercises while dinner is cooking. It all counts 🙌

The last few weeks I’ve really struggled to get back into structured exercise.
I’ve been doing HEAPS of landscaping and gardening, so I’ve definitely been active. Moving dirt, lifting, digging, carrying things around... I’ve hardly been sitting still and part of my brain was using that as an excuse...
“I’ve been moving all day. That counts. I’ll train tomorrow.”
Except tomorrow kept becoming tomorrow. 😂
My back conveniently started reminding me why I need more than just being busy and active. I need my strength training and pilates to keep me strong.
So I’ve finally stopped the head talk and started again.
I was going away recently and before I left I did a workout.
While I was away I got very little sleep and had a big drive home, I could’ve just done nothing but I did a body weight workout and surprise, surprise... I felt better afterwards.
I KNOW this. I’ve been a PT for years. I know how much better I feel when I exercise and I still struggle sometimes.
That’s the bit I think we don’t talk about enough.
Consistency doesn’t mean smashing out the perfect workout every day.
Life changes, your energy changes, your hormones change, work gets busy, the kids need you and sometimes you’re landscaping your bloody garden for what feels like an eternity. 😂 Some weeks you simply have more to give than others.
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s learning to stop the all-or-nothing thinking and keep coming back.
Some days it might be a proper strength session, others it might be Pilates or it might even just be a 10 minute walk around the block. It all counts.
If you’ve fallen out of your routine lately, you don’t need to wait for Monday. You don’t need a new program. You don’t need the perfect week.
Just start again today. ❤️

I’m about to head out for a walk, and I’ve decided I’m getting back into doing some form of movement after my meals.
We have a family history of Type 2 diabetes and my own blood sugar levels have been sitting a little higher than I’d like, so it’s something I want to be more proactive about.
And being in perimenopause makes looking after our metabolic health even more important. The hormonal changes that happen during this stage of life can affect insulin sensitivity, which can make blood sugar regulation a little harder for some of us.
The good news? One of the simplest things we can do is move after we eat.
It doesn’t have to be a workout. It can be a walk around the block, a few laps of the backyard, cleaning up the kitchen or 10 minutes of movement. It all counts.
So that’s what I’m getting back to — a little bit of movement after my meals whenever I can.
It’s not going to be anything extreme or complicated. Just another small habit that can make a difference when you do it consistently.
Very much my No Frills way. ❤️
Anyone want to join me?

Confession time... I’ve been wanting to film workouts all holidays and I have been STRUGGLING!

I’ve been staring at my camera and have talked myself out of filming about 17 times, and seriously considered leaving it for another day. 😂 but then my conscious (in the form of my sister, comes out and asked if I was going to film a workout. So I dropped my book and got up and just did it!)

I told myself, “Just film one workout and that one turned into THREE! 🥳

It’s a good reminder that motivation doesn’t usually show up first. Sometimes you just have to start, and before you know it, you’ve done more than you thought you could.

So here’s workout number one!
10-Minute No Repeat Full Body Resistance Band Workout
It’s quick, it works your whole body, and because every exercise is different, there’s no time to get bored.

If you’ve been waiting until you “feel motivated” to exercise, consider this your sign. Just do 10 minutes. You might surprise yourself... just like I did today. 😉

Head to YouTube (link in my bio) to give it a go, and if you enjoy it, I’d love it if you left a comment and subscribed. It helps me keep creating free workouts for you.

Now tell me... have you ever put something off all day, only to finally start and realise it wasn’t nearly as bad as you expected? 😅

I’m on holidays and I’m not doing perfect workouts. I’m moving when I can, enjoying myself and letting fitness fit around life.

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately.
To be completely honest, perimenopause has been kicking my ass.
The last few weeks have been a combination of hormones, low energy, tears for absolutely no reason, and trying to get organised for an overseas trip with the kids. Add in all the work, packing, school holiday prep, making sure everything at home was sorted before we left, and my stress tolerance was basically non-existent.
There were days where I genuinely questioned why I even bother.
Why bother training?
Why bother posting?
Does anyone even read this stuff anyway?
Does anyone care?
When your hormones are all over the place, it’s amazing how convincing those thoughts can feel.
This morning when I was working out in the gym with my family, I looked around, I noticed almost everyone was heading straight for the treadmill or cross trainer.
And it reminded me why I keep showing up.
Because women need to hear this message.
Cardio has its place, but if we’re talking about longevity, strength, confidence, independence, bone health, muscle mass and quality of life as we age, lifting weights matters.
Especially for women.
Especially during perimenopause.
So while I’ve been feeling flat, emotional and questioning everything, that little reminder this morning helped me reconnect with why I started sharing all of this in the first place.
Not because I think I’ve got it all figured out.
But because I know there are other women sitting at home right now feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, emotional and wondering why their body suddenly feels different.
If that’s you, you’re not alone.
And if you’ve been struggling lately too, I’d love to know I’m not the only one. ❤️

Things I will continue to shout from the rooftops!

Your body isn’t broken. The plan is.
❌ You can’t out-train bad sleep
❌ Crash dieting isn’t a metabolism fix
❌ 6 sessions a week for 3 weeks does nothing

✅ Sleep 7 hours minimum
✅ Hit your protein (Aim for 30g each meal)
✅ Move consistently — even when life gets messy

That’s it. That’s the whole game. If you’re a busy mum in your 30s or 40s wondering why nothing is “working” — it’s probably not what you think.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ below if any of this sounds familiar.
