Welcome to the start of the Nerd Fitness Challenge 2026!
If you start the year excited And I’m a little cautious because you’ve been here before. You are exactly who this challenge is intended for.
In this first short video, I ask you to start in a place you might not expect.
We don’t start with goals or motivation.
Instead, we look forward to what is normally the case stands in the way
- The challenges that derail you are often predictable
- We identify these pitfalls early on and can avoid them
- This is how we avoid repeating the same cycle every January
- It’s rarely a problem of “motivation” or “not caring enough” – fitness plans fail when they don’t take real life challenges into account
Common examples of pitfalls include:
- An unpredictable work schedule
- Children (or you) get sick
- Feeling guilty and taking time for yourself
- I’m trying to change everything all at once and burns out
- Frustrated by lack of progress
Your action step today:
Before you start again, write down two to three things that have thrown you off track in the past – or that make you nervous.
Don’t think about it too much. Simple is better.
You’re not trying to “fix” anything – just pay attention to the patterns.
