Pain is not a prerequisite of being a woman, yet it is a reality far too many of us face.

Whether it’s because our symptoms are often dismissed or because research and education on women’s health is lacking, women are often left suffering in silence.

I spend a lot of time speaking with women about their experiences, particularly around severe period pain and peri-menopause symptoms. The saddest part of most of my conversations is that many women don’t seek help or feel they can push for answers because we’ve been conditioned to accept pain as normal. It is not. Just because something is common, does not mean it is normal or should be accepted.

One of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal is our ability to talk to one another. Don’t stop having conversations, don’t stop seeking answers.

Women deserve better.

📆 SAVE THE DATE!

We only take on new SGPT clients every 12 weeks. Why? Because we focus heavily on individual progression, and flooding the groups ruins the experience.

Outdated medical advice and social misconceptions surrounding women’s health can get in the bin. Pregnancy isn’t an illness, it’s a strength.

If pregnancy and motherhood didn’t stop these women why should it stop you?

Are you breathing backwards during your workouts? 💨

If you’ve ever been told to simply ‘exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down,’ you are only getting half the story.

In fitness, we are taught the standard rule:
👉 Inhale during muscular lengthening (the eccentric phase, like lowering into a squat).
👉 Exhale during muscular shortening (the concentric phase, like standing up).

This works beautifully for most movements because your breath creates Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP) to shield your spine when the load is heaviest.

⚠️ BUT HERE IS THE WARNING: If you strictly follow the ‘muscle contraction’ rule, you will completely ruin exercises like the Bird Dog or Deadbug.

During a Bird Dog, your glutes technically shorten as you kick your leg back. By standard rules, you should exhale. But if you do that, you miss the entire point of the movement.

These aren’t glute exercises, they are anti-extension core exercises. The absolute hardest part of the movement isn’t kicking your leg, it’s stopping gravity pulling your lower back into a deep, sagging arch.

The Golden Rule: Forget tracking individual muscles. Instead, track your posture.

💡 Breathe out when the movement is fighting hardest to break your form.

For a squat, that’s driving out of the bottom. For a Bird Dog, that’s the exact moment your limbs are extended.
