WHY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS FAIL (AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD) 👇

Every January people head into the new year fired up for accomplishing certain goals/resolutions (and that’s awesome!). Wanting to improve your health, body composition, and strength is a great thing!

The problem? Most New Year’s resolutions fail.

One study estimates 88% give up by the end of January, and only 9% stick with it all year.

Goals aren’t the issue.
How they’re set (and supported) is.

If you want this year to be different, you need two things:
1️⃣ SMART goals
2️⃣ An accountability system

SMART Goals =
Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Relevant • Time-based

Instead of:
“I want to get fit”
“I want to lose weight”
“I want to get stronger”

Try:
• Strength train 2–3x/week for the next 12 weeks
• Lose 10 lbs of body fat by June
• Deadlift your bodyweight by the end of the year
• Hit 8,000 steps/day consistently
• Eat protein at every meal for the next 30 days

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.

Goals should challenge you, not require extreme restriction or perfection. They also need to actually fit your life as a busy parent or professional, not someone else’s highlight reel.

And finally… accountability.

Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do. They fail because when motivation dips, nothing keeps them consistent.

Structure > motivation.

If you want help setting realistic goals, building a plan, and actually following through this year, shoot us a DM, we’ve got you covered! 💪

Testimonial Tuesday! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

12/23/2025

You hear it every January: “New year, new me!”

Maybe it’s your friends. Maybe it’s family. Maybe it’s the voice in your own head. Year after year, we say it with good intentions… but not much actually changes.

I’ve been there too.

For years I was “interested” in starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I talked about it, thought about it, and told myself I’d start when things slowed down. Then a friend invited me to a class and I finally went.

That was four years ago. I’m still training. Still loving it.
The only thing that changed? I took the first step when the opportunity was right in front of me.

That’s the part most people underestimate.

Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation or discipline. They fail because starting feels inconvenient, uncomfortable, or unclear.

“I’ll start after the holidays.”
“When work slows down.”
“When I feel more ready.”

For many people, the hardest part of fitness isn’t the workouts. It’s getting their foot in the door.

So let’s make starting simple.

If you want to get stronger, improve your health, and actually follow through this year, we offer a No Sweat Intro.

Here’s what that is:
• A no-pressure sit-down conversation
• We talk through your goals
• You get a complimentary metabolic scan to assess muscle mass, body fat, and overall metabolic health

No workout.
No sales ambush.
No obligation.

Just clarity and direction.

As you can imagine this is a busy time of year for coaches, so spots are limited and schedules fill fast, but if “New Year, New Me” has been on repeat in your head… maybe this is the year it turns into action.

Click the link, book a No Sweat Intro, and take the first step!

We had our 2nd annual Red Vision Fitness Christmas party last night, and it was a blast! 🎄

We had an awesome turnout!
Everyone got dressed up 👗
An Italian food potluck 🍽️
A white elephant gift exchange 🎁
Client awards 🏆
And plenty of laughs playing Telestrations ✍️

It was a night full of fun, connection, and celebration, and the perfect way to wrap up the year with such an incredible group of people.

What I’m most proud of is the community that continues to grow here. Seeing busy moms, dads, and professionals show up, get dressed up, laugh together, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company was incredibly meaningful. Red Vision Fitness is about so much more than workouts. It’s about relationships, support, and creating a place people truly want to be part of. I’m beyond grateful for every person who makes this community what it is, and getting to celebrate together was truly special, so again thankyou to all of you who came out last night. It meant a lot to me and Andi.

Steps Matter More Than You Think 👣

Strength training is your foundation…
but daily movement is the glue that supports your metabolism, recovery, and overall health during perimenopause.

Your Step Goal: 8,000–10,000 per day.

What this actually looks like:
• Two 30-min walks OR one 60-min walk
• Parking farther away
• A quick walk after meals
• Evening walk with the family
• Walking meetings or phone calls
• A walking pad at home or work

Small, consistent movement adds up FAST.

And remember: you are not broken.
Your strategy just needs to evolve with your changing physiology.

Perimenopause isn’t a decline, it’s a transition.
With the right training, nutrition, hydration, supplements, and movement, you can stay strong, lean, confident, and healthy for decades.

If this feels overwhelming and you want a plan built for your body and your season of life, we’re here for you. Book a time with a coach at the link in our bio!

P.S. I’m not a perimenopause “guru.” I’m a coach who has spent 11+ years helping women in this phase of life and I understand enough physiology and nutrition to give you real, practical guidance.

If you want deeper education, check out Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Dr. Stacy Sims. Both incredible resources for women navigating this stage.

How to Stay Strong, Lean & Healthy Through Perimenopause

Let’s talk about the #1 thing women in perimenopause need to hear:
Strength training is non-negotiable 💪

Yoga, Pilates, Cardio Classes, Body Pump… they’re great for movement. They’re fun. They get you sweaty. The Surburban Moms LOVE them!
But here's the thing, they don’t build the muscle your body desperately needs during this phase.

During perimenopause, muscle loss speeds up, bone density drops faster, metabolism slows, and stubborn fat becomes… well, stubborn.

Progressive strength training is the solution.

Here’s why it matters more now than ever:

• Boosts metabolism (muscle is metabolically active)
• Prevents & reverses muscle loss (sarcopenia)
• Improves insulin sensitivity → helps with stubborn fat
• Strengthens bones → reduces osteopenia/osteoporosis risk
• Improves joint stability & reduces pain
• Builds confidence, energy, and long-term resilience

What your training should look like:
2–4 days per week of squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, lunges, carries
(and no… not with the tiny 2lb weights you used in Zumba... heavy enough to challenge you)

Nutrition: Support the Changing Body

1) Prioritize Protein 🥩
Aim for 0.8–1.0g protein per lb of lean body mass.
Protein supports muscle, hunger control, recovery, and bone health.

Make it simple: eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lean meats, shakes.

Example:
180lb woman with 140lb lean mass → 112–140g/day

Daily sample:
• Breakfast: Eggs + chicken/turkey sausage + cottage cheese
• Lunch: 5–6oz chicken + salad + avocado
• Snack: Fairlife shake
• Dinner: 5–6oz lean beef/turkey + veggies + rice/potatoes

2) Limit hyper-palatable foods
These make overeating easy, especially when hormones already make hunger cues confusing.

3) Hydrate like it’s your job
Water supports joints, digestion, energy, mental clarity, and performance.
Aim for 70–90 oz/day for most women.

4) Supplements that actually help:
• Creatine Monohydrate – strength, recovery, cognition
• Vitamin D3 – bones, immune health, mood
• Omega-3s – joints, inflammation, heart health
• Magnesium Glycinate – sleep, relaxation, stress regulation

Pt. 3 coming Saturday!
