“I’m confused by the must lift heavy dialogue.”
“I have 2.5kg dumbbells, is that enough?”
“I never if the weight I’m picking up is too heavy or too light.”

I get some version of this question constantly, and here’s the truth:
Heavy is relative, to you, your muscle group, the exercise you’re doing.

There’s no single number that applies across the board.

What actually tells you if it’s working is a simple habit: at the end of a set, ask yourself how many more reps you could have done. Two to three left in the tank is the zone you want.

Once that becomes automatic, the question of what weight to grab gets a lot less confusing.

And trust me, I’ve tried them all.

1. Waking up before the kids.
If you ever want to get your kids to start waking up earlier than they ever have before, try this one 👆🏻🤪Once I accepted that sometimes exercise would happen imperfectly, with kids around, mid-chaos, the pressure came off. And I showed up more, not less.

2. The 8 week challenge.
Great for 8 weeks. Then it ends, and so does everything you built, because it was designed to end and it was never meant to work in the real world.

3. New activewear as motivation.
Lovely. Comfy. Wore it to school pickup instead.

4. The “perfect” program.
I kept re-doing the plan, assuming if it was perfect, I’d never skip a day. It doesn’t exist. Every plan gets tested by a sick kid, a work deadline, a flat week.

5. Waiting until I felt motivated.
The big one. Motivation always follows action. It doesn’t precede it. No-one, and I repeat NO-ONE feels motivated to exercise every time they do it. Waiting for it is how equipment ends up gathering dust on a shelf.

What actually made me consistent wasn’t willpower. It was building a two part system around my defaults, so showing up stopped needing a decision at all.

10 minutes. My living room. Regular clothes. About to jump on a call with a 50 year old woman in Europe to talk about her strength training.

22 year old me would not have believed it.

Back then, strength training had to be 45 minutes, in a gym, in proper workout gear, or it didn’t count. Three years of training in 10 to 20 minute sessions most days, and I’ve proven myself wrong.

I also never would’ve imagined a world where I wasn’t seeing 16 patients back to back without a toilet break. That was the only version of private practice I knew. I never would’ve imagined helping women who didn’t live in my city, let alone my country.

And even though I already knew I loved working with women, I never would’ve imagined finding this much passion for helping women build strength, especially between 40 and 60.

This is what strength training actually looks like now. And I love that I get to help you find your version of it.

When would 22-yr old you never have believed?

One of my GLOW10 members told me recently she was doing her sessions and feeling great, but still wondered if 10 minutes was really enough to build strength.

Here’s what I told her:
It really has nothing to do with the time.
And everything to do with how you use it.

If you have a good plan, you’re working hard enough that you’ve only got a few reps left in the tank, and you’re gradually making it harder over time, then yes. 10 minutes is enough.
Especially when it happens frequently.

And notice I didn’t say consistently?
Frequency is what your body responds to. How many times you show up, not how perfectly.

But here’s the real lesson in her question.
Her training was never the problem. Her belief was.

Deciding that 10 minutes is enough, when everything around you screams that more is better, is the hardest shift to make. It was for me too.

Once it clicks, everything gets easier.
And once you’ve got the proof? You’ll never look back.

I’m unpacking exactly what it takes to build strength safely and effectively at home in my free Strong At Home workshop on Tuesday the 28th.

👉 Comment WORKSHOP and I’ll add you to the list for my free Strong at Home Workshop - Tues 28th at 7pm AEST.

Random things you’ll notice when you start strength training at home, even (or especially) without all the fancy gear:

🌟You’ll start getting creative with your setup - chairs, backpacks, water bottles - they all suddenly look like gym equipment.

🌟 Your body starts to feel different fast; steadier, stronger, more “held together” somehow

🌟Movements you used to rush through suddenly feel harder when you slow them down and use tempo or pauses.

🌟You realise the lack of equipment was never really the obstacle. It was just the story that kept you waiting.

🌟You start learning about things like time under tension and reps in reserve, and it clicks that how you move matters more than the weight you’re holding.

🌟You stop saying “I’ll start when I have dumbbells…” because you’re already seeing changes with what you’ve got.

🌟You start noticing that real-life strength; the kind that helps you carry the groceries, lift the kids, and move through the day with ease, doesn’t require a gym corner. It just requires you to show up.

🌟And you’ll feel proud of yourself sooner than you expect.

Because it’s not about the setup. It was never about the set up.

The first thing you need to know about googling “good strength exercises for women” is you’re going to get a list. Not a plan. And those are not the same thing.

A list gives you what to do.
A plan gives you how to do it, how it should feel, and how to progress it.
Two very different things.

Strength training plans for women are my thing. In all the different ways.

🎧 This week’s podcast episode breaks down this mistake, plus four others, in just 10 minutes.

And if you’re ready to learn not just WHAT to do but HOW to do it to get real results, my FREE Strong At Home workshop is on 28th July. Details in my bio.

The gym is awkward at first for almost every woman I’ve worked with. Not because they’re not capable, clever women. But because nobody showed them what to do.

Here’s what I know after all these years as a physio: you don’t need confidence before you walk into a gym. Because it’s competence that creates confidence. And competence starts with a really good plan you know you can trust.

GLOW Lift: Gym Edition is a 12-week physio-designed gym program you take with you every session - so you always know exactly what you’re doing, how hard to push, and how to keep progressing.

You’ll learn how to choose the right weight so you’re not guessing, and how to progress safely so you keep moving forward week after week.

Two full body sessions a week. Dumbbells to barbells. Built for real women’s bodies.

Everyone talks about strength training for muscles and bones and metabolism.

But after all these years as a physio, my favourite thing about it isn’t actually any of those.

It’s what it does for pain and stiffness.

I see it every week in clinic. Someone comes in stiff, achy, guarding a joint- expecting me to give them stretches.

But more often than not, I give them a strength exercise instead. Because often when we load it instead of stretch it, slowly and with control, their nervous system finally gets the message: this is safe.

That’s the bit no one talks about. Strength training isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about teaching your body it doesn’t need to protect itself anymore.

So if you’ve been feeling stiffer and achier, but finding massages and stretching just isn’t giving you relief…may I please throw strength training’s hat in the ring? 🎩
