12 Days of Fit-mas: Episode 6: Why Strength Training Matters More in December

Casey Season 2 Episode 196

Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series!

Today we’re talking about why strength training deserves a spot in your routine even more during the busy holiday season-and why doing less can actually be the smartest strategy right now.

If December has you thinking, “If I can’t get all my workouts in, what’s the point?” this episode is for you. Casey breaks down why protecting muscle and momentum matters more than chasing perfection, especially for women over 40.

You’ll learn why committing to just two short strength workouts can help maintain muscle, support metabolism, and make January feel like a continuation-not a restart.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why women tend to skip strength training in December
  • How muscle supports fat loss, energy, and confidence after 40
  • Why 2 workouts is better than aiming for 3–4 and quitting
  • What short, effective strength sessions can look like
  • The mindset shift that keeps momentum going through the holidays

December isn’t about pushing harder- it’s about staying connected to your strength.
