Christmas Abbott, known for her trailblazing career in fitness, CrossFit, and as the first female NASCAR pit crew member, is a true powerhouse. Beyond her athletic accomplishments, Abbott is also a two-time Big Brother contestant, author, and now a mentor to fitness coaches looking to build sustainable businesses. Last month, she reintroduced herself on Instagram with a powerful post, reminding followers of her diverse journey and inviting them to her “Fitness Business Skool” for coaching insights. Abbott’s holistic approach to wellness includes strength training, lunges, pull-ups, and even simple routines like walking, all designed to stay strong and focused. Her commitment to positive thinking is evident, as she encourages fans to “take your POWER BACK” by focusing on what’s within their control.

Abbott makes sure to think positively. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I get it, life can be a m#tha f#cka at times and sometimes those hard moments don’t appear to have an end in sight. It’s heavy and heartbreaking. But that feeling is energy, your thoughts are energy, your actions (or inaction) is energy. What we feed (put energy into) grows. So feed the energy of FOCUSING on what’s in your own control (not the illusion of it) and let everything else “just be”.It’s time to turn your thoughts into action and start whatever it is that you’re avoiding. That’s where the strength is and it’s time to take your POWER BACK!!!!”
2. She Walks

So athletic attire is suggested.”
3. She Strength Trains

Abbott likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats and shoulder lifts with a barbell. Abbott captioned the post, “Tell me what you did you do for your sweat session today? I had a fun few reps and rounds of: Thrusters. Pull ups. Lunges. Pull ups. Tag your workout bestie!” Strength training has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic reports, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”
4. She Does Lunges

In her previous Instagram post’s caption, Abbott revealed that she does lunges to stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that lunges have a lot of benefits. “If you're doing front and back lunges, you’ll primarily be working the gluteus maximus, adductors, and quadriceps. Side lunges will work the gluteus medius more. And if you’re taking bigger steps forward and back, you’ll use more of the glute muscles, while smaller steps will target the quadriceps more.”
5. She Does Pull-ups

Abbott also revealed in the previous post’s caption that she likes to do pull-ups to stay in shape. NASM states that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”
