Why Taking a Break From Fitness During the Holidays Backfires
About this episode
Ever told yourself, “I’ll get back on track after the holidays”?
You’re not alone - but that “short break” from your workouts can actually set you back in ways you don’t expect.
In this episode, Casey breaks down why pressing pause on your fitness routine during the holidays almost always backfires - and what to do instead to stay consistent, confident, and in control through the busiest season of the year.
You’ll learn:
💪 Why losing momentum hurts more than missing a single workout
🧠 How strength training helps you manage stress, energy, and mood through the chaos
🎄 What “realistic consistency” looks like when life feels full
⚡ Simple strategies to keep moving even on your busiest days
