🎄 Day 12 of the 24 Days of Fitmas – Pilates Style!
Today’s move: The Advanced Oblique Twist-Up (aka: “the move that makes you question your life choices… but in a good way.”)

Let’s be honest — your obliques don’t get nearly enough love. They’re the unsung heroes of your core… the ones quietly holding you together every time you twist to grab your coffee, load groceries into the trunk, or swivel dramatically when someone calls your name across the gym.

Strengthening them helps with:
✨ Better posture (goodbye slouching elf vibes)
✨ A stronger, safer low back
✨ More defined waistline (yes, please!)
✨ Stability for daily movements — especially the holiday “pivot-and-grab-another-cookie” motion

But today’s exercise?
⚠️ NOT for beginners.
If your core says “nope,” listen to it. This move is spicy — like “holiday jalapeño” spicy. Keep it controlled, keep it slow, keep your form sharp. Your obliques will thank you… eventually. 😉

🎅 Festive Reminder: You’re halfway through Fitmas! Keep showing up, shining bright, and getting stronger with every rep.

✨ Keep joking. Keep moving. Keep sleighing.

🎄✨ Day 11 of the 24 Days of Fitmas — Pilates Edition ✨🎄
Today’s Move: Side Kneeling Reach + Crunch

We’re taking things side-body style today — firing up your obliques, hips, and those sneaky stability muscles that help you move with grace… or at least stay upright while carrying ALL the holiday groceries at once. 😉

🔥 How to Do It:
👉 Start in a tall kneeling position and extend one leg out to the side
👉 Reach your top arm up to the ceiling — long spine, ribs knit in
👉 Exhale as you pull elbow toward knee in a controlled side crunch
👉 Inhale to lengthen back out like the majestic Pilates star you are 🌟
👉 Keep hips stacked, core engaged, and think up and out (not forward!)

It’s a reach… it’s a crunch… it’s basically the holiday spirit working your obliques.
Because nothing says Merry Fitmas! like a strong, sculpted waistline ready for all that joyful twisting and gift-opening. 🎁💪

🎅✨ Festive Message:
“May your side body be long, your core be strong, and your holiday stress be gone!”
