Why You Should Start Your 2025 Fitness Goals Now, Not in January

December 9, 2024

Every January, the cycle begins again: people pack gyms, dust off their running shoes, and vow to finally get in shape. By February, most of those resolutions have fizzled out. Here’s an unpopular opinion: the best time to start working on your 2025 fitness goals isn’t January—it’s right now, in November or December.

FITNESS INSPIRATION OF THE DAY – COLBY

Why Wait?

Most people wait for the “perfect time” to start a fitness journey. But here’s the secret: there’s no such thing. If you’re waiting for January because it feels like a fresh start, consider this: starting in November or December gives you a head start on everyone else.

While others are struggling to adjust after the holidays, you’ll already have a routine. You’ll be stronger, more confident, and better prepared to tackle your goals.

Beat the Holiday Slump

Let’s face it: the holidays are a challenging time for fitness. Between endless gatherings and comfort food, staying active feels impossible. But starting now doesn’t mean going all-in—it means laying the groundwork.

Even if you’re not hitting the gym six days a week, just moving your body regularly and making smarter food choices can keep you from falling into the holiday slump.

Habits Are Built, Not Declared

The magic of starting in November or December is that you’re building habits before the January rush. Habits take time to form, and starting now gives you a two-month head start. By January, working out and eating well will already feel like part of your routine—not something you’re forcing yourself to do.

Enjoy Progress Before Everyone Else

Imagine this: while others are slogging through their first workouts of the year, you’ll already be seeing progress. Whether it’s more energy, better sleep, or even visible changes in your body, starting now ensures that you’re reaping the benefits before the year even begins.

It Doesn’t Have to Be All or Nothing

Starting in November or December doesn’t mean you have to give up all holiday treats or spend hours at the gym. Instead:

• Focus on consistency: Even a 20-minute workout makes a difference.

• Make small changes: Swap sugary drinks for water or take an extra walk after meals.

• Celebrate small wins: Progress is progress, no matter how small.

These small steps add up, and they’ll set you up for long-term success.

Skip the January Chaos

Gyms in January are packed, meal plans are sold out, and everyone seems overwhelmed. Starting now means you’ll skip the chaos. You’ll have a plan, a routine, and the confidence to stick to it while others are just figuring things out.

Final Thoughts

Starting your 2025 fitness goals in November or December might not be trendy, but it’s effective. It’s about building momentum, staying ahead, and proving to yourself that you don’t need a new year to make a fresh start.

Don’t wait. Start today, and let 2025 be the year you crush your fitness goals before the clock even strikes midnight.
