Why "sprinting" is proactive in the third week of January and How to double your ROI


Hi Fabulous Friends!

Week 3 is where most people quit their new year diet/exercise program.

Not because something is wrong with them.
Because effort feels high and results feel non existent.

We’re calling it out and choosing to be proactive, not reactive.
I’m sending a short burst 10 email series to move us out of the quitters window and into the next phase.
Life is already hard. We don’t need to make it harder.

Here’s the truth plans don’t explain:

The effort → results curve is not linear.
Early on, effort climbs fast while results barely move.
That flat line isn’t failure. It’s foundation.

Slow.
Then leverage.
Then acceleration.

With the right systems in place, the curves catch up.
Results rise fast because the base is already built.

When the right habits are leveraged → practiced → automated, progress compounds.
Life gets a little easier

People quit because they expect results to match effort immediately.
When they don’t, they bail.

The fix isn’t more grind, or fewer calories.
It’s better return on your effort investment. Time and energy are currencies- invest them wisely.

One mobility example.
One minute. Full body.
The world’s greatest stretch targets shoulders, hips, core, thoracic rotation, glutes, and breath.
High ROI. Low time.

Next time, we’ll cover another high-LEVERAGE move: breakfast for performance + taste in under 3 minutes.

You weren’t the problem (stop talking shit about yourself-that makes you go backward).
And most of the time, it wasn’t the program (if it has you consuming 1200 calories it most definitely is the program).
It was willpower without systems.

For now, lower friction and keep moving forward here: Strong Women Free Community, Coaching + Resource Hub

More soon on the step by step how to feel better + look better for life. Cart opens next week. Stay tuned!

Cheers to thriving together,
Alyssa

Hi Fabulous Friends! Most workout programs train strength in the forward and backward plane of motion... Squats. Lunges. Deadlifts.... are all excellent BUT ... our bodies operate in various directions at a thousand different angles. We step sideways to catch our balance. We twist to grab laundry We balance on one foot while carrying groceries. If we don’t train those directions… we lose it and injury occurs. That’s when we start saying: “Why does my back and neck feel stiff?”“Why do I feel...

Hi Fabulous Friends. A little practical wisdom as we head into the Lunar New Year. 🐎 🐎 What’s the secret to remaining consistent? It’s not willpower, not discipline, nor “grind harder.” It’s being flexible.Flexibility preserves a sense of control. It removes the all-or-nothing pressure and replaces it with options. On high-friction days — low sleep, long work hours, kid chaos, decision fatigue — don’t quit. Pivot. 💥 I’ve been experimenting with what James Clear calls “proactive laziness” in...
