From all of us at PeakForm, we’d like to wish you a very happy and restful Christmas Day 🎄

We’ll be back in the new year to help you to achieve your fitness goals for 2025 💪

The festive season is here! 🎅

While you’re busy thinking about what to buy for your partner, your mum, or your second cousin thrice-removed, there’s someone you might have missed off your list… yourself! 😲

Don’t worry, though. There’s still plenty of time to get yourself the perfect gift: a PeakForm massage. Okay: you might not be able to put it under the tree — but you’ll feel the benefits long after the last bauble comes down. 🎁

Looking for a way to get your legs to limber up? Here are some top dynamic stretches for a lower-body workout 🦵

1️⃣ Knee Grabs: Start with your feet together, then raise one leg up with your knee bent. Grab underneath your knee with both hands, then pull it up to stretch your gluteal muscles. Alternate between your left and right legs and keep going for 30 seconds.

2️⃣ Sidestep Lunges: Start standing, then take a big step to one side. As you do so, lean in that direction, straightening your opposite leg, with your weight on your heels and both feet pointed straight forward. Then, return to the centre. Alternate left and right, taking at least 5 steps in each direction.

3️⃣ Leg Swings: Find a sturdy support to use for balance, like a wall. Keeping your body upright, swing your right leg forwards and backwards in a controlled manner. Kick up higher to stretch your quads, hamstrings and hip flexors. Then, swap sides. Try 10-15 on each side.

Don’t forget — as well as our deep tissue and sports massages, PeakForm offers personal training sessions, too! 🏃

In honour of National Fitness Day, we’re taking a closer look at sports massage 🔍

📈 Sports massage focuses on preventing and treating injuries, improving your flexibility, and promoting quicker recovery times.

🎯 This type of massage targets problem spots and incorporates a variety of different techniques.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 It’s not just for elite athletes — it can help anyone to get the most out of their body and reach their full potential.

Looking for ways to engage your core? Here are three exercises you can try at home:

1️⃣ Plank Hip Dips: Begin in a forearm plank position, ensuring your elbows are directly below your shoulders. Rotate your hips to the right, lowering them toward the floor, then return to the centre and repeat on the left side.

2️⃣ Seated Russian Twist: Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight. Holding a medicine ball or weight, twist your torso to the right, then to the left, by drawing one shoulder back and pushing the other forward.

3️⃣ Mountain Climbers: Start in a high plank position, wrists aligned under shoulders. Bring your right knee toward your chest, then quickly switch legs in a running motion. Engage your core throughout the movement.

Still not quite sure what a deep tissue massage really is? 🤔 Don’t worry: we’re here to break it down.

Deep tissue massages target the deeper layers of your muscles and connective tissue 🖐️

By applying firm and sustained pressure using deliberate strokes, this type of massage releases tension, breaks down knots, and helps your muscles to heal ❤️‍🩹

There’s no better time to get out in the great outdoors than a Great British summer — rain or shine ☀️☔️

And after a long day hiking, biking, running or swimming, a PeakForm sports massage is the perfect way to keep your body in tip-top shape 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️
