The Right Approach for YOU: Recovery or Momentum?
The holidays are here, and with them come busy schedules, extra stress, and the pressure to finish the year strong. But what your body and mind need right now might be different than you
think.
Let’s explore two approaches to help you stay on track: building momentum or prioritizing recovery.
1. If You’re Feeling Energized and Ready to Go:
This might be the perfect time to push a little harder
and build momentum for the new year. Adding a physical challenge can help you channel holiday stress into something positive and give you a head start on 2025 goals.
Try This:
- A new strength goal, like improving your deadlift or mastering a push-up variation.
- Short, intense workouts like EMOMs or circuits to maximize results in minimal time.
- A “3 Workouts in a Week” challenge to keep consistency alive.
2. If You’re Feeling Run Down and Exhausted:
The end of the year can be overwhelming, and sometimes your body and mind need rest more than anything else. Lower-intensity movement and stress management might be the key to feeling your best.
Try This:
- Gentle yoga, mobility work, or walking to ease tension.
- Breathing exercises or a simple meditation practice to reset your mind.
- Skipping high-intensity workouts for a week and focusing on recovery.
The Bottom Line:
There’s no
one-size-fits-all approach. Take a moment to reflect: How do you feel right now? What would truly support your health and well-being this month? Whether it’s building momentum or slowing down, the best path is the one that honors where you are.
