Unlocking the Power of Core Training During the Holidays with Facet Seven

While it's easy to get caught up in the festivities, maintaining your fitness routine is crucial to ensure you enter the new year feeling your best.

If you feel sluggish, inflamed, numb, disconnected, who’s really in control? 

THINK ABOUT IT...

You’ve been conditioned to think about your body as something mechanical, as an object to drag through the day- something to push, fix, punish or decorate…

But never as sacred…

Never as intelligent… as a vessel of Divine intention. 

The ancients knew this. The body was never a burden, it was a temple.  Not just in theory, but in function.

Every breath you take, every cell in your gut, every spark in your nervous system, it’s all part of a living code designed for perception beyond the 5 senses. But the modernism of the recent centuries is teaching you constantly to ignore it. 

Start with the gut.

The gut produces more neurotransmitters than the brain, it’s your second brain, regulating your mood, your energy, and your spiritual receptivity. Yet it’s constantly under attack.

Pesticides, processed foods, antibiotics, synthetic preservatives, all designed not just to destroy gut flora, but to destroy our capacity to feel clearly. When your gut is compromised, your mind is clouded. When your digestion is inflamed your thoughts are unstable.

Those in the “remedy” business don’t want you to be sharp, focused, and intuitive… they want you bloated, distracted, emotionally volatile, and they’ve engineered the food system to be sure.

But it’s not just the food. It’s your water, your air, your light. 

Tap water filled with endocrine disrupters. Air saturated with industrial toxins.  Artificial light that scrambles your circadian rhythm and drains your life force. And through it all you're told this is normal, you're told to adapt. To medicate. To caffeinate. To carry on. And when your body starts breaking down they offer pills instead of root solutions. 

They give you diagnosis after diagnosis but never ask the real question -
what are you feeding the instrument of your divinity?

That system doesn’t profit from your clarity…it profits from your chaos. 

This is why healing your body isn’t just a wellness trend.

It’s an act of Rebellion.

It’s the foundation of awakening.

Your consciousness can’t fully rise in a body that’s drowning in inflammation, toxicity, and fatigue. 

You can’t connect to the Divine when your nervous system is in survival mode.  You can’t remember who you are when your cells are constantly battling the poisons of modern life.

Liberation isn’t only mental, it’s cellular.   And every choice you make, every meal you eat, every breath you take is either feeding your awakening or feeding your suppression. 

And here’s the real breakthrough.

Your body wants to wake up. It’s always communicating. Always recalibrating. Always moving towards healing when you give it even half a chance.  And when you start treating it like the intelligent energetic vessel it is, everything shifts.  Your thoughts clear, your emotions balance. Your intuition sharpens. That’s not a coincidence. That’s coherence.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s coherence.

The state where your body, mind, and spirit align into one unified field.  That’s when you stop living from your head, and start living from your whole being. That’s where awareness stops being a concept, and starts becoming your baseline. 

Most coaches bypass this.

They tell you to rep your problems away while still eating food that numbs your senses and scrolling until your dopamine is fried. But you can’t hack your way to awakening. You have to live it, feel it in your skin. In your gut, your breath. This is true embodiment. Not the aesthetic kind, but the kind that rewires your nervous system and clears the fog from your perception. Because the Divine doesn’t live in the sky or in scriptures. It lives in your blood, your bones, your breath. You don’t have to look outside to find it. You just have to clean the vessel it’s been trying to move through all along. 

TAKE BACK CONTROL OF WHO YOU ARE. 

Rebel against being blind… Rebel against the leeches of your energy. 

Find who you were meant to be.
Find who you are. 

We have courses designed to awaken you. Learn the basics of how your body moves.

TAKE THE LEAP

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and often indulgence. While it's easy to get caught up in the festivities, maintaining your fitness routine is crucial to ensure you enter the new year feeling your best. At Facet Seven Fitness, we believe in the power of core training, especially during this bustling time of year. Our FACETS system—Flexibility, Agility, Core, Endurance, Toning, Strength—provides a comprehensive approach to fitness with "C", core training, as a pivotal element.

Why Focus on Core Training?

The core is more than just your abs; it includes the muscles in your abdomen, back, and pelvis. These muscles form the foundation for movement and stability, making core training essential for overall health and performance. Here's how incorporating core exercises into your holiday routine can benefit you:

  1. Enhanced Stability and Balance: A strong core improves balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. This is particularly beneficial during the holidays when all the little ones are asking for piggy back rides.
  2. Improved Posture: Core training helps maintain good posture, which is often neglected during long hours of holiday travel or sitting at festive gatherings. Good posture not only makes you look taller and more confident but also reduces strain on your spine.
  3. Boosted Metabolism: Engaging in a workout increases your metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories even at rest.  And training your core muscles is a great way to keep those abs tight during the holidays when we take in those extra calories ;).

Core Training and Longevity

At Facet Seven Fitness, we emphasize "optimal, sustainable, human movement performance," and core training is at the heart of this philosophy. Regular core workouts contribute to longevity in several ways:

  • Injury Prevention: A strong core supports your spine and reduces the risk of injuries, allowing you to stay active and healthy as you age.
  • Functional Fitness: Core strength enhances your ability to perform daily activities with ease, from lifting groceries to playing with grandchildren, ensuring a higher quality of life.
  • Spine Health: The stronger your core, the more supported your spine is.  A strong spine is imperative for long term functionality.

Incorporating Core Training into Your Holiday Routine

Our FACETS system integrates core training into every session, ensuring a balanced approach to fitness. Here are some tips making it easy to keep your core trained and engaged during the holidays:

  • Set a Schedule: Dedicate specific times for core workouts, even if it's just 10 minutes a day.
  • Use Bodyweight Exercises: Planks, side planks, and Russian twists can be done anywhere, making them perfect for holiday travel.
  • Stay Consistent: Consistency is key. Aim for regular sessions to maintain and build core strength.

As you celebrate this holiday season, remember that investing in your core is an investment in your future health and longevity. Join us at Facet Seven Fitness to explore how our FACETS system can guide you toward a stronger, more resilient you.
