Nicola Matilda, Pilates PT

As a woman, do you lift heavy weights?

I am 36, I have grown and birthed two children in the last 4.5years along with experiencing the physical and emotional grief of losing my 35 year old sister to cancer.

Strength training is more than just changing your body composition. I want strong muscles and bones, I want to regulate my hormones and insulin resistance, I want the endorphins from after exercising and knowing being strong will help me with everyday tasks over the years.

Muscle and bone density reduces every year so training for your old lady body now will help prevent falls and injuries later 💪🏼

72year old Lynn has no problem carrying her weekly shop back to the house. Exercise to help everyday life become easier 💪🏼

My client (age 58) decided 7 years ago she would start training with me to strengthen, help prevent osteoporosis and promote general fitness and wellbeing. Fast forward through zoom workouts during covid, illnesses and setbacks she has stayed consistent every week with the results she deserves 💪🏼😃

For anyone new to my page, i am Nicola, 35 from North Yorkshire, living in Lincoln. I have two gorgeous children a 4year old boy and 1 year old girl. I have been qualified as a personal trainer and Pilates instructor since 2016 and along the way also qualified in level 4 lower back pain specialised, ante and post natal and GP referral. I am relatable, reliable and professional working out of my private studio in Nettleham heath 🫶🏼🥰☀️ DM me for any queries xx

One of the best ways to promote health and fitness to the next generation is to show them! Don’t have time to exercise with kids? Do it with them, add it into your families weekly routine, make it fun, make it like play, make movement quality family time 🫶🏼💪🏼✌🏼

Just a little reintroduction… 10 years ago when I started personal training at @energiefitness after moving to Lincoln from North Yorkshire I was 25. Fast forward to multiple more qualifications and life experience, my own studio and two beautiful little children. I believe health and fitness isn’t just for a quick fix to look good on the beach, fitness is so much more. Yes exercise has helped me get back into my old jeans after having babies, but it also helps me regulate, it helps with overstimulation, it’s helped me be a better parent, it’s helped me through the ongoing grief of losing my sister to cancer. Fitness is about growing old and not needing help getting out of bed or reducing the likelihood of breaking a bone if you fall. Fitness is a balance for life so get out there and find what works for you. ###

Lower into upper supersets with my client tonight, grateful for the lovely breeze through the bifolds ☀️👌🏼

Alignment | Posture | Core | Coordination | Balance | Control

We have been working on a mixture of bodyweight balance, mobility static and moving stretches for lower and upper body and upper resistance bands over the past few weeks and the difference in my clients posture is incredible, at nearly 80 years of age, it shows consistency wins over anything else! (Wish I took a photo to show the difference)
Well done ⭐️
