December is a busy month, but it’s also a naturally slower, quieter season — and that makes it the perfect time to work on the one thing that supports everything you do: your core.
Your core is your real strength base. It helps you stand taller, move better, protect your back, balance on slippery winter sidewalks, carry gifts and packages, and feel stronger in every workout. And the best part? Core work doesn’t require a gym, equipment, or even much time.
Most core exercises are simple, low-impact, and can be done in short segments throughout the day. You don’t have to sweat. You don’t have to block off 30 minutes. You can do a few minutes of deep core breathing while the coffee brews… a slow, controlled plank before bed… a quick transverse abdominal activation (belly imprinting) while waiting for pickup… or a few crunches on the living room floor in your pajamas.
These tiny moments add up. December is full of small pockets of time, and using them to strengthen your core sets you up for better posture, better stability, and better workouts in the new year.
So this month, give yourself the gift of strength from the inside out. A few mindful minutes each day. No pressure. No perfection. Just building a strong, steady base you’ll feel long after the holiday lights come down.
If you need some help, here’s a free link to a playlist of beginner friendly core exercises I made a few years back. It includes several exercise videos demonstrating foundational core moves and showing both easier and more challenging variations. I go into detail on form and proper execution. Use this month to learn and practice these moves correctly so your core is ready to support your New Year fitness goals!
P.S. If you need any fitness gift ideas for yourself or others don’t forget to check out my fitfavs page. It is full of items I actually own or use at the gym.
