Progress is usually pretty boring.

There’s no magic exercise, secret program or perfect week that suddenly makes you strong.

You train.
You recover.
You do it again.
You gradually ask your body to do a little more.

And over time, those very ordinary sessions start adding up to something pretty impressive.

The research consistently supports resistance training for improving strength and muscle, with progressive training and regular participation being key parts of the equation. (PubMed: PMID 41843416)

You don’t need to constantly change your program to keep things interesting.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is stick with the basics long enough to actually see what they can do.

Boring? Maybe.
Effective? Absolutely. 💪

The Study That Changed the Game

For a long time, women with low bone mass were told to be careful.

Avoid heavy lifting.
Avoid impact.
Don’t push too hard.

Then the LIFTMOR study helped challenge that thinking.

What did LIFTMOR actually show?

Supervised high-intensity resistance and impact training improved bone density and strength in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.

Not gentle exercise for the sake of being gentle.

Appropriate training.
Progressive loading.
Proper supervision.

“Just be gentle” isn’t a training plan

Your bones and muscles need a reason to adapt.

That doesn’t mean everyone should immediately start throwing a barbell on their back and jumping off boxes 😅

It means training should be appropriate to the person, progressively loaded and properly coached.

Load. Lift. Impact. Progress.

This is where strength training shines.

✔️ Progressive overload
✔️ Heavy resistance appropriate to the individual
✔️ Impact where appropriate
✔️ Consistent training over time

And one important point:

Pilates is great. But Pilates isn’t strength training, and it generally isn’t progressive overload for your muscles in the same way structured resistance training is.

Both can have a place. They’re just not interchangeable.

Why strength training matters

We’re not just training for what our body can do today.

We’re building strength for:

• stronger bones
• stronger muscles
• better balance
• more confidence
• maintaining independence as we age

The goal isn’t just to exercise.

It’s to build a body that’s capable.

Strong is the standard

The LIFTMOR study showed us something important:

Women don’t need to be wrapped in bubble wrap when it comes to training.

They need appropriate coaching, progressive training and the confidence to get stronger.

And honestly? Personal training is one of the best ways to learn how to train properly.

Having someone observe your technique, individualise your program, manage progression and know when to push or pull back can make strength training safer, more effective and far less intimidating.

Train for your bones.
Train for your muscles.
Train for your life.

Some days you’ll lift heavy.
Some days you’ll run.
Some days you’ll just turn up and do the basics.

It all counts.

The goal isn’t to absolutely destroy yourself every session. It’s to build something you can actually keep doing.

Because the boring-looking weeks?
The ones where you just keep showing up, doing your sessions and getting on with life?

They’re usually where the magic happens. 🏋🏼‍♀️🐕

Rufus and I love running. We run regularly. But we don’t run every day. 🏃‍♀️

And my clients are always surprised when I tell them that.

For most people, you don’t need to run every day to improve your fitness or support your long-term health goals.

A balanced week that includes running, strength training, walking and recovery gives you different types of movement and different benefits.

Research supports including both aerobic activity AND muscle-strengthening work for overall health, with combined aerobic and strength training offering broader benefits than relying on aerobic exercise alone. PMID: 35946846. (PubMed⁠)

And when it comes to running, injury risk is multifactorial. More running isn’t automatically bad, but continually increasing your training load without considering recovery and everything else you’re doing isn’t necessarily the smartest approach either. PMID: 34478518; PMID: 30534459. (PubMed⁠)

So unless you’re specifically training for a race that requires higher running frequency, you don’t have to run every day.

Sometimes the better plan is simply:
🏃‍♀️ Run
🏋️ Strength train
🚶 Walk
😴 Recover

You don’t need to choose between being a runner and being strong. You can be both.

Waiting for motivation to arrive before you train? It’s probably stuck in traffic. 😂

You don’t need to feel fired up every time you train. Sometimes you just need to turn up, do the work, and let future-you be glad you did.

The goal isn’t to smash yourself every session. It’s to keep showing up often enough that it actually makes a difference.

Motivation is unreliable. Consistency gets results.
