216. How to Train (or Not Train) During the Holidays Without Losing Progress


Listen Later

The holidays are coming QUICKLY!


If you’re anything like me, you’re staring at your calendar like “how did we get here, and how is all of this happening in the next 6 weeks?!” 


It’s the time for Thanksgiving prep, Christmas planning, kids’ activities, basketball season, and alllll the food-focused events. It’s a LOT, and it can totally knock you off your fitness routine if you’re not prepared (yep, that used to be me).


Honestly, your approach this holiday season depends on your actual life and GOALS. Maybe you’re in a season where you need rest, or maybe you’re in a solid maintenance groove. 


Maybe you feel good enough to push a little harder, and really kick ass! There’s no right or wrong answer, but whatever season you’re in, you’ve got to be super intentional, and do SOMETHING. 


Whatever you choose, anchor yourself to 3-4 non-negotiables and redefine what consistency looks like right NOW. Ask yourself what ending the year proud (not perfect) looks like, and then make it happen, friend!


Episode recap:

  • Why the holiday season feels chaotic for your fitness goals + how you can still stay intentional
  • How to decide if you’re in a rest, maintenance, or push season 
  • Signs you may need a reset this holiday season
  • What maintenance really looks like during this season
  • What a “push” season can look like right now
  • Key questions to check in with yourself and where YOU are currently
  • Why planning around your real life prevents the annual “restarting in January” cycle
  • How anchoring to 3-4 non-negotiables keeps you consistent (regardless of the season)
  • What it means to end the year PROUD (not perfect)
