Did you know? 👇
A strict, full push-up isn't just a basic exercise, it's a heavy lift. When you're pushing up from the floor, you are pushing roughly 69% of your total body weight! 🤯
Because upper-body strength is rarely prioritised for women, studies show that nearly 40% to 60% of women struggle to perform just ONE full, strict-form rep.
And taking it to the next level? Less than 2% to 5% of women can execute a push-up with weighted plates.
That's why I’m sharing this clip of my 10kg weighted push-ups - to prove what’s entirely possible for women in our 40s.
Strength doesn't happen by accident, it’s built over time with consistency.
The secret to unlocking your first strict floor rep is all about the right progression.
By starting at an elevated incline (standing, leaning into a wall) you can systematically build the foundational upper body strength and core stability you need. 🦾
We are completely rewriting the standards for what women in their 30s, 40s and 50s can achieve. Let's get to work! 🚀
