Let’s put it all together 🎄✨

Merry Christmas Everyone!! 🎁❄️

Have a wonderful time over the next few days…

…And keeep moving ☃️🌟

23/12/2025

On the twenty third day of Christmas stretch out your legs.🎄

High heels, poor footwear, not enough movement, too much of certain movements can all cause tight calf muscles. ✨

Tight calf muscles can lead to foot and knee problems. Including plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, foot pain and even hip and back pain. 🎁

✨Take a comfortable stride forward
✨Make sure you can flatten your back heel to the floor
✨Check your hips and feet are pointing straight forward and not twisted or turned out
✨Align the front knee in line with the front ankle
✨Actively push the floor with the back heel and straighten through the knee
✨Adjust your stride if needed - wider for more, closer for less.

All that wrapping and shopping takes its toll on your shoulders. Try this to ease shoulder pain and tension.

🎄Keep your arms lengthening, shoulders relaxed
🎄Get a full flex in your wrists, and long fingers
🎄Raise your arms to to the side alternately
🎄You may feel a nerve stretch which is a tingling sensation in the arms
🎄You don’t need to lift the arms high just to feel the stretch

This gentle, dynamic exercise can help to free trapped nerves, enhance blood flow, and restore function in the arm/shoulder, making it great for recovery and mobility. ✨

Laying leg stretch 🎄✨

This exercise is great because you get a good stretch without straining your back.

❄️Lay down and lengthen your spine
❄️Straighten one leg up to the ceiling
❄️You will probably need to bend your knee , you can use a band if you have one
❄️Flex your foot and push your foot high to feel the stretch
❄️Pay attention to your pelvis and notice if it is tilting, try to stay neutral
❄️Notice the stretch in your leg

Hamstring muscles are often tight, this gives them a great stretch. You’ll also feel your calf muscles lengthening which is an added bonus.

🎄☃️🎅

On the 20th day of Christmas lay on your front and lift your chest and shoulders. This exercise will improve your posture and improve your spine flexibility.

✨Lay on your front
✨Place your hands wider than your shoulders
✨Lift your chest
✨Keep your shoulders down and chest open
✨Don’t push on your hands
✨Move through a natural range of movement, don’t force it
✨Activate your core muscles to support your back
✨Look up or down whatever feels best

It’s important to mobilise your back and your joints through a full range of movement otherwise it’s likely you’ll lose mobility as you age. Just a few simple exercises daily or weekly will help keep you moving and improve your strength and mobility.

Ankle flexibility and calf strength is really important for balance and stability.

✨Activate your core and leg muscles
✨Keep your spine tall and in neutral alignment
✨Push into the ball of your foot as you rise, no rolling out
✨Play around with height and foot position

So easy to do throughout the day when you have a moment. Super beneficial for your foot, leg and whole body!

🎄🎅❄️

On the 18th day of Christmas 🎄 we are stretching our hips.

You can do this stretch as you wait for the kettle to boil or any time you have a spare few moments. It’s a great way to reverse hours sat at your desk or driving.

✨Take a small step forward
✨Push your hips forward, make sure your get a tilt in your pelvis
✨Keep your chest open, look up, maybe lift your back heel
✨Notice where the stretch is and comment below 👇

Lay down with me and lift your legs ✨🎄

✨Get your leg to fully straighten
✨Try to feel your thigh muscles tighten
✨Keep your hips on the floor with even pressure
✨Activate your core muscles and feel your glutes

Let your exercise time be a mindful connection to your body. Fully focus on what you are doing and notice areas of sensations, stretch, aches, being fully present for however your body responds.

There is a place to push it and force it and go for it with exercise. There is also a place to take it gently, ease into it and notice the subtle sensations. This is where you can be more conscious of your body which is key to improving posture and balance and overcoming unconscious habits and poor patterns. ❄️

This is one of the more DISLIKED exercises I teach. But if I only taught what you wanted I would not be doing you any favours 😂.

So get down onto the ground and lift your hips. This is an excellent exercise to strengthen your back stabilising muscles as well as shoulders and core. Making it good for reducing back pain and improving posture. 🎄

✨Take it at your comfort level and progress as needed
✨Start with your top hand down for extra support and your knees further forward
✨Gradually move your knees further parallel with your body and eventually straightening one or both legs
✨Keep your shoulders relaxed and aligned with the elbow
✨Breathe and SMILE 😃

❄️⛄️🎅

Only 10 more sleeps 😴 until the big day.

Let’s improve your balance, leg strength and hip mobility.

✨Stand tall
✨Keep your spine tall and don’t lean
✨Actively strengthen the standing leg
✨Actively engage your core muscles
✨Lift your leg straight to the side
✨Tap the ground between if you need, or slide the foot along the floor

This a super functional exercise aka excellent for supporting your activities of daily living. Practice makes perfect. Tip - watch yourself in the mirror to see how still your body is and if your hips are tilting.

Let’s do some clams!🎄❄️

This exercise will help your hip mobility and glute strength.

✨Make sure your spine is lengthened and neutral
✨Stack your hips and keep them still
✨Activate your glutes
✨Open and close the top knee
✨The activation is more key than the range of movement
✨Play around with the knee bend, some with the knees fur her forward, some with the knees further away
✨Concentrate on your glutes and feel them contract, maybe place a hand on your butt and feel them.

Move Freely Pilates is all about good quality movements, under conscious control of your body. If your glutes don’t fire - know they are not firing and let’s adapt so they do. ☃️

All exercises feel different depending on our individual bodies. So work with your ability and endeavour to understand how you are moving, know why’s moving, what’s engaging, what feels weird of difficult for your body.🎅

Take care of your body and connect with it through movement this Christmas 🎄

13/12/2025

This is a great twist to open your chest, shoulders and get mobility into your waist and upper back.

✨Keep your back neutral
✨Keep your hips level
✨Look up as you twist up
✨Breathe

It’s not the most comfortable or most loved but it’s so good for you and your posture.
