THIS IS A GAME CHANGER…..

Filming in slow motion has been a game-changer for perfecting my lifts. It reveals every detail—good and bad—helping me fine-tune my form and improve technique.

Sometimes, what feels right might not look right, and slow-mo footage allows you to self assess your lifting.

For me this lift is progress in my knee rehab journey, no it’s far from perfect, but I’m heading in the right direction. by @being_jayne_dando

☀️ Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year.

A celebration of light, vitality, and growth, but this year’s Solstice feels different.
Less than a year ago, my world changed.
Last September, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
There were moments of uncertainty and moments that made me appreciate life more deeply than ever. Summer Solstice reminds us that seasons change.
That growth happens beneath the surface and that even after the darkest days, light returns.

Today, I’m grateful for my health, my strength, both physical and mental as well as the simple gift of being here to enjoy another longest day. ☀️💛

What has this past year taught you about yourself?

If you’re over 40, strength training isn’t just about looking fit, it’s about staying capable, independent, and strong for the years ahead.

After 40, we naturally start to lose muscle mass and bone density. Lifting weights helps to:

✅ Build and maintain muscle
✅ Support healthy bones
✅ Improve balance and stability
✅ Boost metabolism
✅ Make everyday life feel easier

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym or lift the heaviest weights on day one. Start where you are, stay consistent, and let strength build over time.

Your future self will thank you for every rep you do today. 💪

Drop a “STRONG” in the comments if you’re choosing strength over shrinking as you age.…

A reminder that sometimes the strongest thing you can do is listen.

I walked back into the room where my life changed today.

8 months ago, I was told it was “probably just a cyst.”
…it wasn’t.

Today is a follow-up, and it feels very different walking in this time.

In 8 months, I’ve changed a lot, how I train, how I think, what I prioritise.
Not every day has been easy, but I’ve found a strength I didn’t know I had.

Going back there today was a reminder of where it all started… and how far I’ve come. 🤍

I’ll share more about the changes I’ve made next week.

If you’ve ever had a moment that changed everything… you’ll get this.

A strong core isn’t just about having abs… it’s about staying strong for life.

As we get older, core strength helps with balance, posture, stability, and protecting our back. It makes everyday things easier, lifting, walking, training, even just moving well without aches and pains.

For me, it’s about building a body that stays capable. A strong core supports everything else I do, from strength training to long walks to just feeling strong and confident in myself.

The goal is to stay fit, mobile, and independent for years to come.

Strength training in my 50s looks very different to how it did years ago… and after a cancer diagnosis, the reason why matters even more.

It’s not about chasing PBs or trying to look a certain way. It’s about staying strong, protecting my body, and feeling like me again.

Building strength now means supporting my bones, keeping muscle, helping my balance, and looking after my long-term health.

After cancer, you look at your body differently. You stop focusing on what it looks like and start appreciating what it can do.

And if I can take that workout outside, even better.

Fresh air, sunlight, moving my body, and a bit of peace away from the gym, it does as much for my mind as it does for my body.

The sunshine helps with vitamin D, sleep, and energy. The fresh air clears my head and sometimes just being outside makes it easier to get it done.

No pressure. No overthinking. Just movement.

For me, that’s what it’s about staying strong, staying healthy, and being grateful I still can.

Cancer changed more than my health, it changed how I look at everything.

Since my diagnosis, I’ve made real changes.
I move my body because I’m grateful I can, not just to change how I look.
I pay more attention to what I eat, how I rest, and what I allow to drain my energy.
I protect my peace more.
I say no more often.
I choose people, places, and things that feel good for my life, not just what feels expected.

I’ve learned that health is more than workouts and food.
It’s stress levels, sleep, mindset, boundaries, and how you speak to yourself.

I’m not the same person I was before and I don’t want to be.

I’m stronger.
More aware.
More grateful.
And more intentional with the life I get to live.

Sometimes the hardest seasons change you in the best ways.

Got my strength programme done with barbell and weights in the garage, then moved outside.

There’s something about fresh air training that clears your head, lifts your mood, and makes the reps feel more grounded.

No overthinking, just consistency and getting it done.
