Make the Last 100 Days Count: Finish the Year Strong
As we approach the final stretch of the year, many of us take a moment to reflect on the goals we set back in January. Did you promise yourself that this would be the year you finally prioritize your health, get stronger, or lose that extra weight? Maybe life got busy, motivation waned, and those fitness goals slowly fell by the wayside. But here’s the good news: the year isn’t over yet! You still have 100 days left to make a meaningful impact on your health and well-being.
Starting on September 23rd, those last 100 days present a powerful opportunity to refocus, realign, and recommit to your fitness goals. Whether you’ve struggled to stay consistent or simply need a fresh start, now is the time to take charge. And this time, you don’t have to do it alone.
Why the Last 100 Days Matter
There’s something significant about the final stretch of the year. With holidays approaching and the busy season picking up, it’s easy to push fitness goals to the back burner with the mindset of “I’ll start fresh in January.” But what if, instead of waiting until the new year, you decided to end this year stronger, healthier, and more confident?
The last 100 days can be a game changer for a few key reasons:
Momentum into the New Year: By focusing on your health now, you create habits that will carry over into the new year, making it easier to stick with your resolutions.
Stress Management: The holidays can be stressful, but staying active and focusing on nutrition helps keep stress levels in check and improves mood.
Consistency Builds Confidence: When you commit to showing up for yourself consistently, you build the confidence that you can achieve your goals, no matter the time of year.
How to Maximize the Last 100 Days
To truly make the most of this time, it’s important to have a plan that encompasses more than just working out. For women in perimenopause and menopause, fitness goals should focus on a balanced approach that includes strength training, proper nutrition, and habit-building strategies. Here’s how you can approach this final phase of the year:
Commit to Strength Training As you navigate hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, maintaining muscle mass is key to boosting metabolism, supporting joint health, and improving overall strength. Incorporate strength training into your routine at least 2-3 times a week. Focus on compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups, like squats, lunges, push-ups, and rows.
Focus on Nutrition Planning A solid nutrition plan is essential to fueling your workouts, managing weight, and supporting overall health. Pay attention to balancing your meals with lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbohydrates. Preparing your meals in advance, staying hydrated, and avoiding processed foods will set you up for success. The last 100 days of the year can also be an ideal time to experiment with healthier versions of holiday favorites.
Develop Habits for Lasting Change Sustainable results come from consistent habits, not quick fixes. Use this time to develop small, manageable habits that will carry you through the holidays and beyond. Whether it’s tracking your progress, scheduling your workouts like appointments, or focusing on mindfulness, building these habits now will make it easier to stick to your goals, even when life gets busy.
