Let’s talk about strength 💪 it’s more than lifting weights at a gym, it’s being able to confidently move throughout our day - especially as we get older!

For women, building and maintaining muscle is so important. From the age of 30 onwards, including some weights and resistance into your workout routine is recommended

And that’s what we’re talking about this week in our weekly inside scoop newsletter! Starting, progressing, and moving well every day 😄

Anyone notice a theme running through our lovely members answers?? 💪

Feeling stronger is more than lifting heavy weights in the gym! It’s about feeling GOOD in the day to day: picking up your grandchildren, aging without pain, feeling younger…

If you’re looking to get stronger, fitter or more energised - message us and we’ll find the best option for you 💚

Everyday Health recently shared a study, and the great news is that you don't have to go for an 'all or nothing' option when it comes to your exercise!

Turns out that 90 minutes of strength training a week - paired with regular daily movement - makes the biggest difference to how long and how well we live

“The key is to find approaches that are meaningful, practical, and adaptable to individual circumstances”

This looks like fitness that slots into your daily life, in a place where you feel well-supported. And the best place to get started is small and often!

If you're ready to start, we have a spot for you, and we'll make sure you get it right from day one: https://app.arketa.co/shapeituppilates/pricing/checkout/mZmf1PFTn4sHEiRNgSU5

Have you had even 5 minutes to yourself yet?

If you’re someone who spends most of their week thinking about everyone else - ageing parents, children who still need you, a job, a home - you’ll know how good it feels when someone else takes the lead for a change

This Sunday’s Inside Scoop is for you 📨 we’re talking about how to actually carve out time for yourself when life feels stretched, plus five things you can take completely off your plate the minute you walk through our door

It’s wonderful to hear that during the busy time of moving back to the UK, our lovely member carved out time to improve her back and knee pain 💚

We get that it can feel tricky to start: busy calendars, pain that’s previously held you back, not knowing what it’ll be like when you do start…

At Shape It Up, the only thing you need to worry about is showing up, we take care of everything else!

Early morning classes are fantastic 👏 get something done for yourself before you even need to think about your to do list - online so all you need to do is roll from your bed and log on (via the kitchen for a glass of water of course!)

Get in touch with any questions 😄
