For a long time, I struggled to explain what I do. “I’m not a physio… but I’m not a personal trainer either…”

And if I’m honest, that made me feel like I didn’t fully belong anywhere.

Because I could see the value in both.
Physio’s play such an important role while personal trainers are just as valuable

And I sat somewhere in between, not quite knowing how to explain it. But over time, I realised something:

I’m not stuck in between! I bridge the gap!

I help you move from early-stage rehab into real strength and full fitness, safely. Intentionally. With purpose.

Because your body deserves more than just being pushed! it deserves to be understood 🤍

I’m a Biokineticist!

Some seasons don’t come with answers.

They just ask you to keep showing up
and keep turning back to Allah.

Sabr.
Shukr.
Tawakkul.

Why this exercise matters?

The supine dumbbell fly can be performed on a bench or on a mat, making it an accessible way to strengthen the chest.

The main muscle worked is the pectoralis major, with assistance from the anterior deltoids. The muscles around the shoulder also work to help control the movement and maintain alignment.

The goal is to maintain control as the weights move away from the body and just as importantly, as they return.

This controlled movement helps develop upper body strength for everyday actions such as pushing, reaching and bringing the arms across the body.

Move slowly, work within a comfortable range, and let control instead of momentum guide the exercise.

A stronger upper body starts with control.

Posture matters, but there isn’t one perfect posture for every body.

In my work, I’m less interested in making someone look “textbook” and more interested in understanding whether their posture is helping or limiting them. by @movewithmaryh

The way we approach movement, food and our bodies as mothers can have a lasting impact on our children.

Girls, in particular, can become impressionable about their bodies as they get older, and it’s easy for self-worth to become tied to how they look.

Before we realise it, they can start developing unhealthy relationships with exercise and food, often from the messages they hear and the behaviours they see at home.

I want my kids to grow up understanding that movement is about strength and health, and food is something to enjoy and nourish their bodies with.

Not something to earn, restrict or feel guilty about.

The example we set matters. 🤍 by @movewithmaryh

The fitness industry will always have something new to sell you. Your body doesn’t that!

It needs the right stimulus, enough consistency, and a reason to keep doing it ✌🏻🤍

Why this exercise matters?

The clamshell might look like a simple exercise, but there’s a lot happening at the hip.

It primarily targets the gluteus medius, an important muscle for controlling the position of the pelvis and thigh during movement.

Why does that matter?

Every time you walk, climb stairs, run, change direction or balance on one leg, your hip has to control the position of your pelvis.

Good hip strength isn’t just about producing force it’s about being able to control that force.

The clam gives us a simple way to train this control while keeping the movement isolated and supported.

The goal isn’t to open the knee as far as possible. It’s to maintain a stable pelvis while the hip moves through a controlled range.

Small movement.
Strong hips.
Better movement.
