Week 3 – Core Strength

Week 3 – Core Strength

Welcome back to Move with Grace, a gentle chair-based series focused on mindful movement and self-kindness.
This week, we’ll focus on strengthening your core — the center that supports your balance, stability, and confidence in daily movement.

💪 Try this short routine:

1. Seated Tummy Tightening – Sit tall, take a breath in, then gently pull your belly button toward your spine. Hold 3 seconds, release. Repeat 10 times.

2. Knee Lifts – Hold the sides of your chair and slowly lift one knee toward your chest, then switch.

3. Torso Twists – Cross your arms over your chest and twist slowly side to side, engaging your core.

4. Side Crunch Reach – With one hand behind your head, reach the other toward the floor and return upright. Switch sides.

💡 Grace Tip:
Strong doesn’t have to mean intense. Small, mindful movements build strength that supports your everyday life — from standing taller to feeling more confident in your body.
