24.01.2022 MOVEMENT Just a little reminder to move your bodies! Our bodies are created to move, and the movement that will suit and benefit your body will be different depending on your body mechanics, structure, strength and what you want to do. ... If you’re finding it tricky to fit movement into your life try small blocks initially and build up over time. Bouts of 10-15 mins interspersed throughout the day accumulate and provide the same benefits that bigger blocks do - and may help to build habitual exercise patterns in addition to balancing out some of the prolonged postures or positions that our bodies are sometimes stuck in! Whatever it is - a walk with a friend to get a coffee, jumping off a stop earlier on your way to work, stretches at your desk, a yoga flow, or walking the dog - see if you can add movement into your week or weekend. And if you need help with strategies to do that or your movement is being impacted by your health or pain, then perhaps Exercise Physiology is the option for you. Happy moving!

05.01.2022 MENOPAUSE Last week I completed a webinar by the Women’s Health Collective focusing on Menopause and Exercise. There are a multitude of changes within the body’s physiological systems throughout the stages of menopause that influence menopausal symptoms and health outcomes. ... Research indicates cardiovascular exercise, resistance training and other forms of exercise including yoga and balance training help to: Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve endothelial function Improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin Reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome Improve mental health and wellbeing Improve sleep Increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures Improve strength and posture Improve your quality of life Exercise Physiology input is especially important for early onset menopause occurring spontaneously, surgically (hysterectomy) or secondary to pharmacotherapies (chemotherapy). I have a specific interest in Women’s Health throughout the lifespan, and the positive impacts of exercise during pregnancy, post-natal recovery, during and post-menopause. Therefore maybe it’s time to review your exercise levels, and ensure you’re providing your body with the optimal stimulus for the health outcomes you want. Have a lovely Sunday! Nikki

03.01.2022 REFORMER PILATES A little sneak peek (in mode) of just some of the exercises that target lower body and hip strength and stability on the reformer. There is the option to adjust load with higher resistance to target muscle and bone strength or to decrease the resistance to build balance and control. Some benefits of reformer exercise include:... Low impact options Strong eccentric focus to build joint stability and strength Helps build proprioception and balance Spine supported options Multi-directional and improves joint range of motion Loads of exercises and progressions And you get to wear funky grip socks! If you want to build strength, balance, or are seeking rehabilitation for an injury then reformer pilates may be for you!

01.01.2022 BARRE A snippet of the homework I’ve been doing for my Barre Instructor training that is scheduled in October. Just another movement form to add to the exercise prescription repertoire. Barre is a low impact, high intensity form of exercise with aspects of Ballet, Yoga and Pilates that helps to strengthen, tone and balance your body to improve your movement and wellbeing. ... Hopefully you'll see some Barre added in over the next few months!
