What type of exercise really matters during menopause?

There isn’t one perfect answer.

Strength training, weight-bearing exercise, Pilates, cardiovascular exercise and balance all offer different benefits — and together they can help support our muscles, bones, heart health, fitness and independence as we get older.

I’ve pulled the evidence together in my latest blog:

Menopause and Exercise: Why Movement Matters More Than Ever

A practical look at what changes during perimenopause and menopause, why exercise becomes increasingly important, and how to build a balanced approach that works for you.

Firstly, a huge thank you to all my wonderful clients for the lovely messages, cards and kind words I have received over the past week, and for your patience and understanding while I’ve taken some time away. It has meant more than I can say. ❤️

But my biggest thank you has to go to my lovely Mum..

Mum supported and encouraged me throughout all my endeavours. Although never the keenest Pilates participant herself, when I first started teaching she came along to classes to help bump up my numbers! 😂

But she really came into her own when I opened my first studio.

She made curtains. She made covers for stools and the changing screen. She built furniture, filled holes in the conservatory roof, set mouse traps, painted, cleaned and helped me with every important decision along the way.

Whatever needed done, Mum was there.

Behind the scenes, she was a huge part of Holywood Pilates from the very beginning — not because she particularly loved Pilates, but because she loved and supported me.

There will never be enough words to thank her for everything she did for me, or to say how much she meant to me.

I will miss her more than words can ever say.

Thank you, Mum. For everything. ❤️

Due to a family bereavement, Holywood Pilates will be temporarily closed while I take some time away from work.

During this time I won’t be responding to emails or messages.

Thank you for your understanding, your patience and your kindness. Your support means a great deal, and I look forward to welcoming you back to classes when the time is right.

If you’ve been to one of my classes, you’ve probably heard me say this more than once… 😅

Tiny pulses don’t need to be dramatic. In fact, if someone across the room can clearly see them, they’re probably a little too big!

Small movement. Good control. Plenty of muscle burn. 🔥

Tell me… what’s one Pilates cue you hear all the time?

Technical Update

Unfortunately, Wix is currently experiencing technical issues which are affecting the booking system.

September classes are live, but some clients are currently unable to log in or access the class pages.

Wix has acknowledged multiple service issues and is working to restore normal service.

I’ll post another update as soon as everything is working again.

Thank you so much for your patience. 💜

One thing I’ve learned after 16 years of teaching Pilates is that people rarely regret coming to class.

It’s often the hardest part that’s getting yourself there. Once class is over, people almost always leave feeling stronger, more mobile and glad they made the time for themselves.

If you’ve been thinking about starting Pilates, or getting back into a routine after the summer, September is a great time to begin.

September–October studio classes open for booking this Saturday at 9am.

I look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces. 💜
