Overthinking: the art of creating new problems out of ones that never existed in the first place 💭

And with every new problem you create, it sends your mind into over drive elevating your overthinking!

Food for thought today … wouldn’t it be amazing if we could see ourselves through the lens of someone else, the good and the bad with every thought that crosses our mind?

And be able to hear that person who tells us to stop the wondering. You can’t control what you can’t see yet 💭

One of my favourite release flows from an intense Barre or Pilates Fusion class using a barre to support my balance and find deeper dynamic stretches to hold for 30 seconds or longer.

Video has a voice over to guide you through the flow so save for a little inspo

Progressive exercises targeting the abdominal and upper body muscles with a looped resistance band.

Through the flow, you can add in the lift of a knee to table top, extend the lever, add a rotation of the torso, pulses and balancing to progress and intensity the movements.

🔹 Twisted Single Knee raise to table top
🔸 Twisted extended lever
🔹 Twisted elongated pulses
🔸 Twisted single to double table top
🔹 Balancing Russian twists
🔸 Balancing flowing scissors

A Barre Warm Up is essential before transitioning into your classic format and one of my favourites is to pair dynamic stretching, mobility and a little heart pulsing 🌡️

Listen out to my cues and save for inspo

Thigh Surprise is a floor burner to be added to your Barre set.

Focusing on engaging the quads, hamstrings, hip flexors and glutes max muscles, the exercises is performed in a leant back spinal position where you can add in various upper body movements and props to challenge the body such as a Pilates ball wedged between the ankles and rested on the calves.

Inspo to steal
🔹 Stacked arms leaning back
🔸 Stacked arms to T opening leaning back
🔹 Hinge squat to leaning back

Every year towards the end i reflect on what worked in the current year, what brought me happiness, stability, fun, adventure and joy but also…

what didn’t work for me, what led me to feel unhappy, disappointed or unsure more times than i would like.

To finish out the year, I sat down and did this exercise myself so it was clear as day what I want to leave behind and take into a new year.

Leaving behind:

🔻Specific Goals
🔻Jam pack my schedule to a T
🔻Dipping into my savings £££ and spending in-necessarily

Taking forward:

🔺Less is more mindset & Approach
🔺Expectations and Timeline disappointment
🔺Little more care-free

I go into depth on the Pilates with rachel Louise blog sharing my WHY and HOW. Head to the link in my bio or on stories for a read!

I recommend giving the exercise a go, it’s very fulfilling and a good way to reflect

Merry Christmas 🎄 I hope 2025 was magical for you and if it wasn’t as you hoped, maybe there was a handful of joyful moments to remember and appreciate.

However you are spending today, I wish you a lovely Christmas and looking forward to a bright and promising 2026!

Starting my Christmas Day with the Santa Park run 🏃‍♀️ was so special 🧑‍🎄

NOTE TO OURSELVES:

♦️It’s okay to take this month easy, it’s not a rat race to finish everything you’d hoped because it’s the end of the year

♦️ It’s okay to indulge this month with all the celebrations & festive outings

♦️ It’s okay to sit and binge Netflix & Xmas movies for 2 weeks over the break

♦️ It’s okay to say no if your not feeling social or financially it’s challenging this year to spend £££

♦️ It’s okay if you haven’t thought or made plans for next year yet or at all. Maybe going with the flow is better suited to you

There’s always so much pressure in December whether that’s being in this Christmas spirit and trying to keep up with social celebrations or because it’s end of the year and you think about all the things you set out to do at the start, just remember “it’s okay” to decide how you want to finish the year out.

4 different variations of a kneeling fluid flow sequence that uses the Pilates ball to support for awareness & resistance whilst de-stabilising in your kneeling side plank.

Each movement is connecting with your upper body and core moving in a seamless way that targets into your obliques.

Try the 4 movements together for fluid flow

🔹 Oblique hip roll down
🔸 Overhead Oblique hinge and lift
🔹 2 pulse oblique hip roll down
🔸 Side kneeling elbow to knee Oblique hinge
