4 Reasons to Kickstart Your Strength Training Before the New Year

‘Tis the season! The holidays are officially in full swing and if you’re like me, you’re already mapping out your New Year's resolutions and the goals you want to achieve in 2024. One resolution that tops most lists is getting in shape and improving your overall fitness. While it's perfectly acceptable and even tempting to wait until January 1st to start working towards your goals, there are some great reasons why beginning your strength training regimen now, not later, is the smart move.

2. Crush stress and amp up your mood

The holidays can be a stressful time of year with increased demands at work and numerous social obligations. Engage in regular strength training to help combat stress by releasing endorphins, also known as the "feel-good" hormones. Not only will you feel better physically, but you'll also experience an enhanced overall sense of well-being.

3. Unleash energy and confidence

Strength training will significantly boost your energy levels by improving cardiovascular health, increasing muscle strength and endurance, and enhancing overall physical performance. With high energy levels, you’ll be able to tackle holiday tasks and festivities with even greater confidence and enthusiasm!

4. Establish a strong exercise foundation

Start your strength training routine today to set yourself up for continued success in the months ahead. By developing a regular exercise habit now, you'll find it easier to maintain your fitness goals in the long run. Don't wait for January 1st–seize the time ahead to build a strong foundation that will carry you through the new year and beyond.
