Make Gains by Doing Less
In 2024, I learned the importance of avoiding excessive effort for marginal gains. Balancing my fitness journey, I scaled back, recognizing signs of overexertion, and focusing on essentials. Now, with three targeted workouts weekly, 10-12k daily steps, and a simplified nutrition approach emphasizing protein and fiber, I've gained 1.5lbs while enjoying flexibility and improved energy. Rather than diving into optimization, let’s stack simple wins, like starting the day with 50g of protein, for 90% of the desired results.

Small Training Idea — Big Impact
This month, I'm putting aside the idea of optimizing my fitness routine due to the chaos of December. With family around and holidays approaching, I'm focusing on simplicity. One key strategy I rely on in the gym is using timed lifting formats, setting specific intervals for each lift. This approach, especially with structured rest intervals, makes a significant impact on my workouts. I've learned that disciplined timing not only keeps me focused but also enhances the overall effectiveness of my training. If you're looking for a straightforward way to stay on track, consider using a fixed clock for your sets. It creates a rhythm, keeps distractions at bay, and ensures I make the most out of each session.

Fell Off the Train? How to Hop Back On
We all have days that we skip training or eat one too many treats. The anxiety that comes with thinking you’ve screwed everything up and are back to zero is actually more damaging than the day you’ve had itself. It’s easy to fall into the idea that without perfection, your effort is worthless. But this isn’t true. Consistency over a prolonged period of time is what matters. A day here and there with minor slip ups is not the end-all. What matter’s is that you hop right back on the train. Today, I’ll leave you with some tangible ways to do this.
