Kerry has been with us for 18 months, her big win at the gym has been confidence in her body

Her lower back used to ache just walking fast, now she's lifting heavy weights off the floor no problems

And when she first came to us, she told me she struggled with motivation to get to the gym (she's barely missed a session in 18 months!!!)

Awesome work Kerry!

Knee pain does not always start at the knee

Sometimes the knee is just the part that is taking more load than it can currently handle

Weak quads

Not using your hips well

Ankles and feet that are not absorbing force properly

All of those things can leave the knee doing more work than it should

So rather than only avoiding movements that hurt, the goal is to gradually build your capacity back up

Strengthen your quads

Learn to use your hips

Build stronger glutes and hamstrings

Strengthen your calves

And eventually get better at absorbing impact again

The goal is not to protect your knees forever

It is to make your whole body stronger so your knees do not have to do everything

Knees cave in when you squat? It's often a cause of knee pain, and it's telling you your glutes are tight and weak, probably your groin too. Limit your squat depth and practise knees tracking over your toes. Add single leg RDLs and crab walks to strengthen the glutes, plus a weighted groin stretch. Stretch, squeeze, back down. Follow for more.

This is Blinco Built. Let me show you exactly how we start.

It starts with a brief phone call, so we can see where you're at, what you're after, and make sure we're the right fit.

Then you come in for a sit-down chat. 20 minutes on everything you want to achieve and the reasons behind it, so we understand the motivation behind those goals.

Your first session is a one-on-one PT with your own coach. We go through the foundational movements you'll come across in the classes, focus on your form, and figure out exactly where you're starting from.

Then small group classes, maximum 12 people per session. So even in those you get a lot of individual attention. And they're full of people like you, over 40, who either never trained before or haven't trained in a long time. No judgment, no ego in the room.

We also do a one-on-one nutrition consult on the back of the PT, or at least in that first week. It's highly individualised, and it's not about cutting calories. You don't get a meal plan. Nothing restrictive. It's about fuelling your body, so we're building you up rather than breaking you down.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, click the link below, book in a call, and we'll see if you're the right fit.

If you're over 40, you're the one who serves everyone else. Your kids, your parents, the people at work, the sporting club, the community groups. People come to you for advice. You're the one who keeps everything running.

So here's my question. Where's your me time?

That's the whole idea. Twice a week for 45 minutes, time that's just for you.

And here's the funny part. When you set aside time that's truly yours, and sure, on the surface it's just working on your physical body, it leaks into so many other parts of your health. Your mental, your emotional, maybe even your spiritual. Even though you're doing it for yourself, it starts to change how you show up for everyone else.

Your responsibilities don't go away. Nobody needs you less. But because you've carved out this small bit of time each week just for you, it actually starts to hold everything else up.

You don't have to come in and plan anything. We take that off you. All you do is show up, and leave everything out there at the door, as much as you can. That's part of what the lifting helps with. It's hard to think about all that other stuff when you're focused on lifting a heavy weight.

And the best part is you're doing it next to people exactly like you, in the same situation.

You serve everybody else out there. In here, this is your 45 minutes.

If you're over 40 with a stiff neck and upper back, this one's for you.

What's missing is rotation in your upper back. A lack of rotation is what leads to a sore lower back and neck pain in the first place. So the pain shows up in one place, but the cause is somewhere else entirely.

That's why we build some form of rotation into basically every session. In a variety of ways, at a level that meets you where you're at, both in the workouts and the warm-ups.

So if you're not doing any at the moment, start there. Build a bit of rotation into your movement every single day, just to counteract all that sitting you're doing.
