“I’ll get serious in the new year…”
Sound familiar?
It’s one of the most common things I hear in November. People are tired. Overloaded. And they tell themselves:
“It’s not worth it now. I’ll sort it in January.”
But here’s the problem:
You lose 6–8 weeks of progress
You lose confidence
You enter the new year from behind, not ahead
The better option?
Start small NOW — and build momentum that carries you through Christmas and beyond.
🧠 Why “starting again” doesn’t work
Every January, I see the same cycle:
Guilt from December = crash dieting
Overtraining = burnout
Life gets busy again = falling off
Repeat every year
Instead, we need to change the game completely.
📊 The compound effect of small consistency
If you just:
Train 2x/week
Hit 8k steps/day
Plan 80% of your meals
You could: ✅ Lose 3–6lbs ✅ Build strength ✅ Maintain your routine ✅ Enter January already in motion
Momentum > motivation. Every single time.
🧱 What to focus on in November + December
1. Minimum effective dose workouts 30–40 min strength training ✅ Our fitness classes in Bridport are perfect ✅ Or go custom with personal training in Bridport
2. Walk daily Even 20 mins matters.
3. Eat with awareness Don’t “track” everything — but don’t switch off entirely.
4. Sleep 7–8 hours No blue light before bed. Go to sleep earlier than usual.
🧍 Final thought:
You don’t have to overhaul your life. You just have to stop quitting on yourself every December.
This year, let’s build momentum — so you don’t need a January reset.
