Oh hey! I need a favour…

I’m in the lookout for 3 more women to beta test our new program specifically for women going through peri-menopause & menopause (so ladies in your 40’s, 50’s and beyond) which starts Monday 19th February 6:30am.

The exercise programming and nutrition have been designed based on the science & research specifically for women going through this change in hormones & the craziness that comes with it!

As a BETA tester - you’ll be the first to access the program, and get support and guidance from the Hopscotch team, and the best thing... you get it for 40% off.

In return, I will need your feedback, pics and a testimonial.

I just need:
1. Train 3x p/w (45min sessions)
2. Nutrition tracking
3. Be able to commit for 6-weeks
4. Be willing to train hard and push yourself

Let me know as soon as you can by commenting below or messaging me and I’ll send you the details.

In case you didn’t know… our personal training studio is in Burwood, VIC.

Recover like a champion after your remedial massage with these 5 tips 🤩

1️⃣ Drink plenty of water 💧
Everything works better when hydrated including recovery from massage… so get some water into you 💧

2️⃣ Get plenty of rest 💤
You’ve basically had a workout. Best you rest & get a good nights sleep (or the occasional nap) to get the most out of your massage 😊

3️⃣ Stretch regularly 🤸‍♀️
Stretching, one of those things you kinda need to know you need to do but usually forget… so this is your reminder to give some TLC to those body parts that need it with some stretching 🧘‍♀️

4️⃣ Avoid unnecessary stress ☮️
Take it easy after your remedial massage. Now that your muscles feel loose like jelly, why not let your mind have a break too

5️⃣ Eat healthy meals 🥗
Goes with our saying, veggies, protein, fruit, complex carbs are all on the menu… the quality of the food you eat builds the quality of the health of your muscles and joints.

💆🏽‍♂️ Looking for remedial massage therapists in Burwood who care more about your muscles than you?! Contact us for an appointment 💆🏻‍♀️

Need an massage or some myo treatment… 5pm available today, book at this link 😊

💆🏻‍♀️ How does massage help with neck pain & headaches?

I’m glad you asked!

💆🏽‍♂️ The massage & movement techniques our therapists use help release tension in muscles.

💆 We also treat the fascia… what’s fascia? I describe it as a thin sheets of connective tissue that surrounds muscles and joints … plus pretty much everything else in the body i.e. organs, bones etc

💆🏻‍♀️ As we all know, our hectic lifestyles usually dial up the stress and tension.

💆🏽‍♂️ Massage stimulates endorphin release. This helps turn the volume down on stress and the tension that comes with it.

💆 That’s why we love using massage to get that relief from neck pain & headaches.

Ladies, are you in your 30’s? Best you have your eye on what’s happening in your 40’s.

We start losing muscle mass in our 40’s, maybe even earlier.

Want to age like a fine wine? 🍷 Intensity and resistance/strength training is more important as start adding more candles to the birthday cake 🎂

Why lifting heavy s**t, as the saying goes, is good for you:

💪 retain muscle mass
💪 maintain bone density
💪 reduce risk of chronic disease (type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease etc)
💪 it’s good for your mental health, reduces depression symptoms and women & men
💪 generally do fun & cool s**t because you’re strong

It never too late to start strength training, and you should, because it’s really good for you!

P.S. “heavy” for each person is different, for one person it’s body weight, for another it could be over 100kg’s. Heavy means heavy for YOU.

How much do we love a kettlebell swing?! A LOT!

Kettlebell swings are a great full body exercise.

Kettlebell swing fun facts:

💪The kettlebell swing will help you create a stronger posterior chain which include your back, glutes and hamstrings - this helps undo a lot of what sitting is doing to your body by strengthening the black of the body

🏋️‍♀️ The kettlebell swing will help you increase your strength and power

❤️ Kettlebell swings are also a good cardio workout

Time to clean up the garden, pull out some weeds, get mulch delivered, spread it around the garden… easy peasy…

Wheelbarrow ✅ shovel ✅ blood, sweat and tears ✅

You crush it, high 5 yourself and admire your work “I really should get out here more often, then it wouldn’t get so crazy!”

Monday morning rolls around, you attempt to get out of bed…

… but … ALAS! Your back it bluddy tight and sore!

You can barely get out of bed.

Bending and rotating seem to be out of the question.

Might go book a myotherapy appointment to get this sorted out (good idea I say!)

WHY the heck does this happen?!

If you’re only in the garden 1-2 times per year, you’re not conditioned for that kind of activity! It’s kinda like trying to run a marathon without training, you might finish, but you’ll be sore as hell afterwards.

Our advice, keep your body moving, get strong and get some stretching done!
