May Your Spine Be Long and Your Heels Be Low 👠✨

  • Dec 12, 2025
  • 1 min read

This one is for anyone heading out in high heels this week. You know that moment when you leave the house feeling fabulous then 45 minutes later you’re walking like a Lego figure because your lower back has given up?


Here’s why. When you’re in heels your weight shifts forward which pulls your pelvis slightly out of its natural position. Your spine then works overtime to keep you upright. Combine this with cold weather plus maybe a cheeky cocktail and your posture pays the price 🍸❄️.


A little tip for you. Try lengthening the spine before and after wearing heels, it reduces the pressure on your lumbar discs. Even simple movements like reaching tall then gently lowering your shoulders can help your deep postural muscles kick in again 🧘‍♀️.


So before you head out, give your spine a moment of love. Stand tall, lift through the crown of your head and let your shoulders float down. Think “festive elegance” rather than “penguin waddle on cobbles”.


Follow me for more tips and exercises 💫.

Social Butterfly or Quiet Soul 🦋✨

Some people love the December buzz. Others need a lie down just looking at the plans. Whichever one you are, Christmas tends to bring more social time than usual and your body (and mind) feel the effects. Long periods of standing and chatting can leave you wiped out even if you’ve enjoyed every minute.


Small pockets of space make a huge difference. A short walk, a quiet drink of water or a few deep breaths outside can reset your energy 🚶‍♀️🌬️. If you thrive on all the events, your body still needs a breather. If you don’t, these tiny resets help you enjoy the bits that matter without feeling overwhelmed by the whole month.


Which one are you? I'm more of a quiet soul that likes to spread my wings every now and then 🧘‍♀️🕊️

Christmas Shopping Workout 🎄🛍️

  • Dec 10, 2025
  • 1 min read

Christmas shopping should honestly count as strength training. You lift things you don’t normally lift, you twist more, you stand more and you cover far more steps than you expected. Those aches you feel afterwards aren’t a sign something has gone wrong, they’re just muscles waking up and doing more than usual.


Checking in with your body helps everything settle. Notice what feels tired, give those areas a little stretch and let your muscles recover from being your personal delivery service 🚶‍♀️💪. A bit of mobility work goes a long way when you’ve been lugging around half of the high street.


If you want to join me online why not try my 'Winter Reset' package ❄️, a mix of Pilates, Walkfit and stretch, perfect when you're short on time. Book your place now at www.dawnchambersfitness.com/book-online
