Embrace Your Real

Why the Holiday Season is Perfect for Maintenance, Not Progress


Listen Later

Does the holiday hustle leave you feeling stretched too thin while trying to stick to your fitness goals? With packed schedules, endless parties, and tempting treats, it can feel impossible to stay on track. But here’s the thing: this is not the season to push harder—it’s the perfect time to embrace maintenance as your secret weapon for long-term success.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why choosing to maintain instead of striving for progress can help you avoid burnout, stay consistent, and actually enjoy this special time of year without guilt.

The holiday season isn’t about doing more—it’s about being strategic, prioritizing what matters, and finding a flow that works for you. Maintenance isn’t settling; it’s protecting your progress and preparing for what’s next.
