Tired of fitness advice built for 25-year-olds? 🙋‍♀️

Hi, I'm Kylie 👋

I've spent over two decades working with women, and I'm still doing it in my 50s. This isn't a phase for me, it's my life's work, because I've watched what it gives the women who do it.

✅ Strength that carries into real life.
✅ Energy that lasts past 3pm.
✅ Confidence in a body they used to apologise for.
✅ A community of women doing this together.
✅ Not a quick fix but a way of living that sticks.

If that's the kind of fitness advice you're after.

If you're sick and tired of the "go hard or go home" retohic...

If you don't want another 12 week challenge or a program that ignores your age and stage of life..

Then you're in the right place.

A little about me 👉

I'm a wife and a mum. Fun fact, my kids are 27 and 31... and 7. Yes, I went back for round three, two decades later.

Back in 2016 I was working part time as a personal trainer in a commercial gym and full time time as an office working in a government job.

I left it all to build something focused on helping women move well and feel strong through every stage of life.

I've coached women of all ages, pregnant women, postnatal women, women in perimenopause and menopause, seniors, and women with disabilities.

I share science-backed information you can actually trust, quick workouts for the days life gets in the way, and real, practical advice for fitting movement into a full life.

If this sounds like the kind of online environment you're looking to be part of, welcome. Please stick around.

If you've made it to the bottom of this caption, drop me a 💪 so I can show you some appreciation 🙏

There's one question I ask every woman I train that catches her off guard.

"Where are you at in your menstrual cycle?"

Cue the raised eyebrow. But here's why it matters.

Your hormones shift your strength, energy and recovery all month long. Training the exact same way every week regardless of cycle phase means you're working against your body, not with it.

In your follicular phase (post-period), oestrogen is rising and your body can handle more. It's the ideal window to push intensity and chase strength gains.

By the time you hit your luteal phase, progesterone is dominant, energy naturally drops and recovery takes longer. That's not a sign you're weak. That's biology.

When I know where you're at, I can adjust the session. Push when your body is ready. Pull back when it needs to recover. That's how you build real, sustainable strength without burning out or fighting your own hormones.

This is the difference between a program built for you and one built for a 25-year-old man's physiology.

Save this for your next training session and pay attention.

Isn't jumping bad for you as you get older?

NO! It's actually the opposite.

We're traditionally taught to protect our joints as we age. Go easy, stay lower impact, be gentle on yourself.

But bone density doesn't respond to gentle. It's living tissue and it only gets denser when it's forced to adapt through impact and load.

Jumping
Hopping
Skipping

It's not reckless, it's one of the clearest signals you can send to your skeleton to stay strong.

After 35 and especially throughout perimenopause and beyond, bone density starts declining faster than most women realise. Trading impact for safety doesn't protect your bones. It just speeds up the problem.

Done progressively and with the right foundation, impact training is one of the best things you can do for your bones long term.

Save this and show it to whoever is telling you to take it easy and that jumping isn't for women your age.

Want me to build you a program that builds strength and bone density the right way? That's what we do inside the Strong Women's Academy.

Can you get up and down off the ground without using your hands?

That's the movement I swear by. No hack, no gadget, no ten step system. Just that.

Here's why it matters 👉

Independence isn't something that disappears overnight. It slips away gradually, then all at once. A creaky knee. A moment of unsteadiness. A feeling that your body isn't quite under your control anymore. It's easy to write it off as "just getting older," but so much of it is preventable.

The floor to standing test is one of the simplest ways to check in on that. Can you get up without pushing off a chair, a wall, or your hands on your knees? If not yet, that's not a life sentence. It's a starting point.

This is the work that keeps you moving toward the life you actually want, not one where you need help to get from the front door to the car. Strength you build now is freedom you keep later.

Practice it. Progress it. Don't wait until it's hard to find out you need it.

Save this and keep coming back to it as a reminder to yourself to stay independent.

Training with kettlebells but frustrated you can't do a movement you've seen everyone else doing?

Starting your kettlebell journey can feel overwhelming. I've been there so I know how that feels.

That's why inside Her Kettlebell Era, you'll find a course that builds you from the foundations up to complexes in just 30 days, step by step.

Every daily lesson is easy to follow, movements are explained in detail with full video and written explaination and cues.

There are four phases:

1️⃣ The foundations
2️⃣ Power and flow
3️⃣ Combinations
4️⃣ Complexes

The course is delivered as one lesson per day and will work you through these four phases step by step, to ensure you don't start a new movement before you have the prerequisite for it.

Start at the beginning and progress at your own pace. Discover just how fun and rewarding kettlebells can be, especially for women over 35.

Drop me the word "ERA" in the comments or DM me and I'll send you the link to get started.

How long could you carry a heavy weight before your grip gave out?

Give it a go this week and drop your time in the comments 👇

A farmer carry is one of the simplest ways to test where your strength really sits.

Grab two equal weights that together add up to about half your bodyweight (dumbbells, kettlebells, even loaded suitcases work) and walk for 60 seconds.

This one move gives you a snapshot across the four pillars of independence:

💪 Strength to carry, lift and protect your joints.

🤸 Mobility through your shoulders and hips to hold good position.

⚖️ Balance to stay upright under load.

🦴 Skeletal health, because loaded walking helps support bone density.

Four markers, one simple test. That's why it's one of my favourite ways to check in on how you're really doing.

What I despise about online fitness programs and what I do different.

Most online fitness programs send you a workout plan but hope you'll just figure out the exercises in it on your own.

So you're buying the plan of workout days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) this many sets, this many reps but the exercises are thrown in with very little instruction.

Her Kettlebell Era is different.

You only learn ONE movement a day.

You get full video and written breakdowns, plus the cues that actually help it click, not just what to do, but how to do it well.

Each day builds on the one before it, so the whole course flows seamlessly, and you get more proficient step by step.

It moves through 4 phases: Foundations, Power & Flow, Combos, and Complexes that bring it all together.

All you need is one or two kettlebells and 10 to 20 minutes a day, so you can tack it straight onto your current training as a warm up or a finisher.

That's the difference between learning a kettlebell workout and learning kettlebell movements.

You won't be expected to just perform the movement to fit the program, you'll actually be learning the movement properly, building solid knowledge, so you'll be able to place them into a workout later and know you won't get injured and you'll actually build strength.

Your daily walk is doing less for you than you think. Here's what your body actually needs after 35.

Walking is good for you. Nobody's arguing that.

But somewhere along the way women were told to just stay active as you get older.

From your mid-30s, you start losing muscle mass every year. Not eventually. Now. And walking, as good as it is for your heart and your head, doesn't do much to stop it.

Muscle is what keeps your metabolism working for you instead of against you. It's what protects your joints, holds your bone density, and keeps you capable, not just moving.

Walking won't build that. Strength training will.

This isn't about becoming a bodybuilder or living in the gym. It's two or three sessions a week, lifting something heavier than you did last month.

That's the difference between staying active and actually staying strong.

If your only movement right now is walking, it's not wasted. It's just not the whole picture anymore.

📌 Save this for when you're ready to add the missing piece.

These women are over 40. And these are 6 crazy habits they wish they'd started sooner.

Nobody warns you about these until you're already living without them.

1️⃣ Sitting in a deep squat for 60 seconds a day keeps your hips, knees and ankles moving through full range so you're not fighting stiffness by 60.

2️⃣ Wearing no clothes in the sun for 20 minutes every morning. Yes, you read that right. Great for your body clock, your mood, and honestly, your confidence.

3️⃣ Intentionally getting up and down off the floor each day is one of the strongest predictors of independence as you age. Practise it now, not when you have to.

4️⃣ Carrying heavy objects in your hands for a minute at a time builds real grip strength, which is directly linked to overall strength and longevity.

5️⃣ Jumping 10 times in the morning and evening loads your bones the way walking never will. Bone density needs impact to stay strong.

6️⃣ Hanging from a bar for 30 seconds a day decompresses the spine and keeps your shoulders healthy and mobile as you age.

None of these are complicated. That's kind of the point.

The women who feel strong, capable and confident in their 40s and 50s aren't doing anything extreme. They just started. And they kept going.
