With the last stretch of 2025 underway, fitness expert Raj Ganpath—who has spent over 17 years coaching clients—reminds people that the final six weeks of the year can shape the way you step into 2026. Instead of falling into the usual holiday pattern of overeating, skipped workouts, and postponing goals to January, he suggests using this short period to maintain momentum and protect your health.
In a recent social media post, Ganpath explains that one mindset shift can change everything: focus on not gaining any weight until December ends. According to him, maintaining your current weight alone can help you enter the new year feeling lighter, confident, and in control. He breaks this idea down into five simple actions that anyone can follow without drastic lifestyle changes.
1. Aim for 20 workout sessions in six weeks
Ganpath suggests completing roughly three to four workouts per week, whether it’s gym training, home workouts, yoga, or any activity that keeps the body moving.
2. Walk 8,000–10,000 steps every day
He encourages spreading the steps throughout the day—morning, afternoon, or evening—as long as the total goal is met consistently.
3. Add a protein source and one vegetable to every meal
The focus should be on simple, minimally processed ingredients while avoiding deep-fried, oily, or heavy dishes.
4. Stay mindful of portion sizes
He recommends under-eating slightly when possible, or at least stopping at comfortable satiety rather than fullness.
5. Monitor your weight frequently
Whether daily or every other day, tracking helps build awareness and prevents sudden weight gain during the festive season.
Ganpath believes that these small, practical actions can help anyone maintain stability, avoid holiday weight gain, and start 2026 with better energy and less guilt.
