5 Holiday Fitness Hacks

The holiday season is upon us, and while it's the perfect time for indulgence and relaxation, it can be challenging to maintain your fitness routine. The good news is that with a little creativity and a dash of motivation, you can stay active and feel great while celebrating the festive season. Here are five holiday fitness hacks to keep your Pilates practice alive:

1. Festive Pilates Playlists: Create a holiday-themed Pilates playlist that blends your favorite tunes with a touch of festive spirit. The right music can make your Pilates sessions more enjoyable and keep you motivated. Whether it's classic carols or contemporary hits, music can elevate your workout experience.

2. Active Advent Calendars: Create your own movement advent calendar by using the Corefirst calendar feature on the app! You'll not only stay active but also feel a sense of accomplishment as you progress through the month.

3. Dance into the New Year: Holiday parties are inevitable. ACTUALLY Enjoy them by letting loose a little! Take the time to intentionally set aside any negative mindsets around fitness, lack of progress, or food. Your mental health is #1.

4. Pilates Buddies: Share your fitness goals with friends and family. Encourage them to join you in a Pilates session. It's a fantastic way to bond, introduce loved ones to the benefits of Pilates, and have a few giggles along the way!

5. Festive Charity Challenge: Turn your Pilates practice into an opportunity to give back during the holiday season. Choose a charity or cause that resonates with you and set up a challenge. For every minute of Pilates you complete, donate a small amount to your chosen charity. It's a wonderful way to stay active and spread holiday cheer, all while making a positive impact on the world.
