The secret to moving better through the holidays isn’t finding two hours for the gym—it’s incorporating simple, intentional movement into your day.

1. The Stability Check (Before the Turkey!)

Good stability is your body’s foundation, and a strong sense of balance is your best defense against seasonal slips and falls. Before you start cooking or entertaining, take just 5 minutes to practice your balance. Try the Single-Leg Stance while you brush your teeth or wash dishes. This trains the crucial micro-muscles that stop a stumble from becoming a trip.

2. The Micro-Walk

Forget the massive post-meal slump! Instead of trying to squeeze in one long gym session, schedule three 10-minute “Micro-Walks” throughout the day: before cooking, after the meal, and before dessert. This aids digestion, keeps your joints mobile, and maintains metabolic function without requiring special planning. Get the whole family involved!

3. Kitchen Counter Push-Ups

Use the time waiting for your coffee or microwave to perform 10 Wall Push-Ups. Use the counter or wall for support. This simple strength move engages your core and strengthens the wrists and shoulders—the exact areas often injured if you were to fall. It’s an easy way to build resilience while standing still.

We watched a few interesting segments and then at 7:50a we were live. Cheryl was mic’ed up and she led Stephanie and I through a few exercises that are easy to reproduce at home.

First some breathing to get deep in your belly and using your daphragm. Then some spinal extension exercises on your hands and knees and on your stomach. This is great to offset all the sitting and forward flexion we live so much of our life in.

The 5 minute segment went by in a flash and we were heading back to CORE for a day of clients… I got lucky and didn’t have to say a word, just listen to Cheryl and do what she instructed… It was really fun and here are some pictures.
