🎄 12 Days of Movement Challenge 🎄
The festive season can be busy and hectic, so take a few moments each day to move, breathe, and centre yourself with Pilates!
For the next 12 days, I’ll be sharing a daily Pilates exercise or stretch/movement to help you build strength, improve balance, and stay energised—perfect for keeping you grounded during the holiday rush.
💪 How It Works: Each day, I’ll show a Pilates move that targets different muscle groups and boosts flexibility. From core stability to full-body strength, these exercises are designed for all levels—no equipment needed!
✨ Why Join In?
• Short, effective exercises to fit into your schedule
• Build a sense of calm and balance in the busiest time of year
• Get stronger and feel fantastic heading into the new year!
🎅 Ready to Begin? Let’s start today with Day 1! Check in each day, try the move, and let me know how you get on.
Today’s exercise is open book. This exercise is a great movement that helps improve mobility, particularly in the upper back (thoracic spine) and shoulders. This is an area that tends to become stiff from prolonged sitting or poor posture. Improved mobility here can help reduce overall back tension and enhance movement quality.
Slow, controlled movements and deep breathing during this exercise activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you relax and release tension. This makes it a great exercise for unwinding after a long day or before bed.
Try this movement today and comment below to let me know how you feel afterwards. Join me again tomorrow for 12 Days of Movement challenge.
