The end of the year is here, and with it comes the whirlwind of holidays, travel, and social gatherings. It’s easy to let your fitness routine slide, convincing yourself that you’ll "get back on track" in January.
Let me challenge that mindset—what if you made the most of these final 3 weeks instead?
Just 9 workouts. That’s all it takes.
The Big Picture
Think about this: committing to just 3 workouts a week for the next 3 weeks equals only 9 hours out of the 504 hours left in the year. That's less than 2% of your remaining time! When you put it into perspective, it’s not a monumental ask.
Instead of seeing these weeks as a time to slow down and make excuses, consider this an opportunity to build momentum. The holidays don’t have to derail your progress—in fact, they can become a time when you thrive.
Why 9 Workouts Matter
- Consistency Over Perfection
Fitness isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up. By sticking to 3 workouts a week, you’re reinforcing the habit of prioritizing your health—even when life gets busy. This consistency will make it much easier to step into the new year with confidence and focus. - Mental Clarity and Stress Relief
The holidays can be overwhelming. Between shopping, cooking, and navigating family dynamics, stress levels can skyrocket. Those 9 workouts? They’re your sanctuary. Exercise releases endorphins, reduces cortisol, and helps you approach the season with a clearer mind and calmer demeanor. - Physical Health and Energy
Staying active during the holidays doesn’t just help with maintaining your fitness level—it gives you the energy you need to keep up with everything else. The benefits of these 9 workouts will carry into every part of your life, from wrapping presents to making memories with loved ones.
Why It’s Simple
When you break it down, 3 days a week isn’t daunting. Whether you come to the gym, tackle a home workout, or squeeze in a quick session while traveling, you’ve got options. Here are a few ways to keep it simple:
- Block Your Calendar: Treat your workout time like an appointment.
- Make It Social: Commit with a workout buddy to meet each other at class and hold each other accountable.
- Focus on Quality Over Quantity: 1 hour class, 3x a week. Just show up. Utilize our at home workout versions if you can't make it into class.
Start Now, Reap the Benefits Later
Imagine how proud you’ll feel stepping into January already ahead of the game. Instead of feeling sluggish and regretful, you’ll have built strength, resilience, and confidence. Those 9 workouts might even spark new goals for the new year.
Let’s reframe the holiday season as a time to care for yourself—not just everyone else. By showing up for those 9 workouts, you’re sending a powerful message to yourself: I’m worth the effort.
So, make a plan. Commit to 3 days a week. And let’s finish this year with the same fire you brought to it back in January.
See you in the gym!
