Do these with me ❤️

Three standing ab exercises you can do almost anywhere. No gym, no equipment and no gym clothes — I filmed these in ordinary clothes because exercise doesn’t always need to be a workout you have to plan your day around.

If you don’t exercise very much, start with five repetitions on each side and build up to 10–15. If you already exercise regularly, do 15 on each side and make the movements slower and more controlled. Standing ab exercises are a simple way to work your core, abdominals and obliques at home, at work or when you’re travelling, without having to get down onto the floor.

I think one of the biggest barriers to exercise is the idea that we need to find the time, find the gym, find the equipment and change our clothes before we can even begin. Sometimes five minutes of movement in the middle of an ordinary day is a much better place to start, and you can build from there.

SAVE this and do the three moves with me. FOLLOW for more practical exercise, nutrition and body-composition advice.

For private Body Firming appointments, I work with clients worldwide on Zoom and from my private consultation room in Chelsea, London.

Can you still have long, healthy-looking hair at 60 after colouring it for decades? I’ve had my hair tinted, highlighted or both roughly every two months for 43 years — and at 60, it is still long, thick and in very good condition. Hair changes as we get older and menopause can affect texture, density and dryness, but that does not mean you suddenly have to give up on having great hair.

A huge part of keeping coloured hair in good condition is having somebody who knows your hair and doesn’t over-process it. I’ve been very particular about how mine is coloured and cared for, and is part of that maintenance. Forty-three years of colour does not have to mean forty-three years of damage.

For me, this is really about something much bigger than hair. I genuinely don’t believe turning 50 or 60 means becoming invisible, lowering your standards or deciding your best years are behind you. You can still look glamorous, feel confident, wear what you love, keep your body strong and look incredibly good for your age. The important bit is continuing to look after yourself rather than waiting until something bothers you and then trying to undo 20 years in a fortnight.

I’m 60, and I want to look like the best version of me at 60 — not like a younger woman. That means looking after my hair, skin, strength, posture, body composition, clothes and everything else that makes me feel good when I walk out of the door. Age is a number. Maintenance is a habit.

RIP Dolly ❤️

Eating less is not the answer to a better body in midlife. Eating better is. I had three plates here in Breda: tofu, Korean pork belly, carrots with handmade hummus—proper food, plenty of it, and absolutely delicious.

The tofu deserves a mention because I am slightly obsessed with it. Soy contains isoflavones, which have been studied extensively in relation to menopause, bone health and cardiovascular health, and it is one of those foods that can be incredibly useful in a midlife diet when it is eaten as part of an overall balanced way of eating.

The same applies to the rest of the meal. The pork belly provides protein, while the carrots are completely different nutritionally when they are eaten with a substantial handmade hummus rather than on their own. The hummus adds protein, fibre and fat, which changes the way the meal is digested and makes it far more satisfying.

This is what I mean when I say don’t eat less in midlife — eat better. A good midlife body is not built by constantly reducing food. It is built by eating enough of the right foods, protecting muscle, keeping blood sugar steadier, staying satisfied and choosing meals you can actually enjoy.

And yes, I am still eating three plates. That is rather the point.

Over 60 and don’t like what’s happening to your legs? You can do something about it.

As we get older, we lose skeletal muscle unless we actively work to preserve it, and that changes the shape, firmness and function of our legs. Resistance exercise matters enormously, but which exercises you do and how you do them matters too.

I’m 60 and resistance exercise is a non-negotiable part of how I look after my body. You don’t need to go to a gym and you certainly don’t need to accept that sagging or less defined thighs are “what happens when you get older”.

FOLLOW because my next post will show you exactly what I do for stronger, firmer, better-defined thighs — including that difficult inner-thigh area. SAVE this so you don’t miss it.

We’re LIVE in two hours!

If you’re over 40 and feel as though something is holding you back — in your body, your confidence, your relationships or simply what you want from the next part of your life — join us this afternoon for the Freedom Blueprint Summit.

I’m speaking alongside nine other brilliant speakers, all coming at the subject from completely different perspectives. We’ll be talking about self-sabotage, the patterns we carry with us, why we can get stuck repeating the same behaviours and, most importantly, what we can actually do to change them.

I’ll be bringing the nutrition, exercise and eating psychology perspective. Why do we eat when we’re not hungry? Why do we go back to particular foods when we’re stressed or unhappy? Why can habits we learnt years ago still affect how we eat and look after our bodies at 40, 50, 60 and beyond? And how do we start doing something differently?

It’s FREE, LIVE and ONLINE, so you don’t even have to sit and watch us. Put your headphones in, listen while you’re walking, driving, cooking or working and dip into whichever speakers interest you.

We start in two hours. The registration link is in my bio and right here. Come and join us!

Also, if you’re interested in learning more about this topic, you can read it on my blog. Here is the link, and again, I will put the link in the comments.

Why do we sometimes eat when we’re not actually hungry? Quite often, we learned this years ago.

If ice cream was always a treat when you were a child, ice cream can become associated with feeling good. If cake appeared when you were upset, food can become associated with comfort — and those associations can stay with us for years.

There is some fascinating science behind this. Our childhood environment and the way food was used within the family can help shape our eating patterns, so food repeatedly used as a reward, treat or comfort can become associated with emotion rather than genuine hunger.

Then we’re 40, 50 or 60 and wondering why, after a perfectly adequate dinner, we suddenly want crisps at 9pm because we’ve had a rotten day. I see this with clients all the time, and understanding why is incredibly useful because you can begin to recognise the pattern rather than simply thinking you have no willpower.

And learned behaviour can be changed. Our childhood may help explain some of our eating habits, but it doesn’t have to dictate how we eat for the rest of our lives.

This Friday I’m speaking at the Freedom Blueprint Summit, bringing the nutrition and eating psychology perspective to the conversation. It’s completely free to attend, so if you’d like to join us, the registration link is in my bio.

Women 40+ — would you like to join me for a very special evening in Notting Hill?

On Wednesday, 9 September, 6–8pm, I’ll be celebrating the newly revised and updated edition of my Amazon bestselling book, RECLAIM Your Life in Seven Simple Steps, with an exclusive, invitation-only evening at in Notting Hill.

September always feels like a fresh start — children back at school, universities reopening, holidays ending, and life settling back into routine — so it’s the perfect opportunity to gather a lovely group of women for an evening of books, beautiful jewellery, fizz, and nibbles.

I’ll be signing copies of the updated book. During the evening, I’ll also help guests understand whether they are naturally an endomorph, mesomorph, or ectomorph—and how this unique body type influences their shape and size, and more importantly, what they can do about it.

This isn’t a large public launch. We’re maintaining a guest list, so please email [email protected] now to secure your invite.

FOLLOW for more updates on midlife body, nutrition, and exercise, and SAVE this to remember the date.

If this sounds like your kind of evening and you’d like to be considered for the guest list, DM “NOTTING HILL” and we’ll send you the invitation details.

Wednesday, 9 September | 6–8pm | Notting Hill | Invitation only

Want a better body after 50? You have to keep progressing.

If you keep doing exactly the same exercises with exactly the same resistance, your body adapts. Whether you start with 1kg, 3kg or 5kg doesn’t matter — what matters is continuing to challenge yourself as you become stronger.

I’ve been showing you lots of simple resistance exercises recently. Today I’m taking things up a level with two tougher compound movements, using several muscle groups at once.

The first is what I call my longevity move, challenging strength, balance, mobility and coordination. The second is the Turkish get-up, a brilliant full-body compound exercise working your legs, glutes, core, shoulders and arms.

Do them with me. Your resistance and progression should always suit your unique body type, body composition, strength and ability. The important thing is to keep improving.

At 60, I want exercise to give me skeletal muscle, strength, strong bones and a firm, lean body. If you want your best midlife body or menopause body, you need to keep progressing too.

FOLLOW for more real-time resistance exercises and SAVE this Reel to practise these moves with me.

I work privately with clients on exactly this in my Body Firming Appointments, remotely or in my private Chelsea consultation room.
