Hamstring Hug

🚗 Long drives, office hours or even festive prep can leave hamstrings tight. A simple knee-to-chest hug stretches the backs of your legs and eases tension.

Lie on your back, hug one knee to your chest, then extend the leg, breathe into the stretch, then switch sides. Feel your lower back release and your legs lengthen.

Your body will thank you for this one. It's amazing to notice how different the body feels after a few minutes of stretching. Follow me for more tips and exercises.

Hamstring Hug

Posture Pause

🌟 Holiday stress can sneak into your posture, rounded shoulders, a slumped chest, tired back. Think of all than time you spend wrapping presents and writing cards out, it's not good for your posture. A short posture reset lifts your mood, protects your spine, and helps you feel more confident and comfortable.

Stand or sit tall, align ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips, and lift your chest gently. Take a deep inhale, exhale and feel your spine lengthen.

💡 Tip: Visualise a string pulling you up from the crown of your head while keeping shoulders relaxed.

Posture Pause

Standing Stretch

✨ Between baking, cooking, and all the festive prep, it’s easy to feel a little stiff or sluggish. That’s why today’s movement is all about keeping your body open and energised.

Try these stretches today. You don’t need a lot of time, even a minute or two can help circulation, wake up tired muscles, and give you a refreshing boost of energy.

Think of it as a little pause between stirring the hot chocolate and rolling out the pastry. It’s a chance to reconnect with your body, relieve tension in your back and shoulders, and remind yourself that movement can be fun, even in the middle of a busy kitchen. 🍪💫
