It’s hard to believe, but we’re already three-quarters of the way through 2025. The holidays are just around the corner, schedules are filling up, and before we know it, we’ll be counting down to a brand-new year.
Here’s the truth: this is the point in the year when many people start saying, “I’ll just wait until January to focus on my health again.”
But think about it—if you press pause now, you’re giving up on three whole months of progress. That’s 90 days you could be using to feel stronger, build confidence, and set yourself up to enter 2026 with real momentum.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait for January
The “fresh start” in January is appealing, but here’s the problem: if you wait until then, you’ll likely be starting from further behind. Energy levels dip during the holidays, routines get disrupted, and stress piles up.
Instead of waiting, imagine how good it would feel to enter the new year already in a groove. By starting (or recommitting) now, you can:
•Build consistency in your workouts before life gets busier.
•Feel better through the holidays with more energy and less stress.
•Start 2026 ahead of the game, instead of trying to play catch-up.
Small Steps Add Up
Closing the year strong doesn’t mean overhauling your entire life overnight. It means focusing on small, sustainable actions that move you forward:
•Commit to 2–3 workouts a week, even when things get busy.
•Prioritize whole foods most of the time, while still enjoying holiday meals guilt-free.
•Protect your sleep and recovery so your body can handle stress better.
Little by little, those small decisions compound into big results over the next 90 days.
