069 | How to Stay Consistent at the Gym All Year Long: A Realistic Fitness Plan for Working Women in 2026

Morgan Ekovich Season 1 Episode 69

It's 2026, and the gyms are packed! But instead of being frustrated by the New Year's rush, Morgan is celebrating every person who's decided to show up for themselves. In this episode, she breaks down why the typical "zero to 100" approach fails most people by mid-February and shares her proven slow and steady framework for building fitness habits that last all year long.

Morgan walks you through a practical three-step assessment to evaluate what you're already doing consistently, identify realistic time blocks in your schedule, and strategically add stretching, strength training, or cardio without burning out. She explains why women especially need strength training as they age, how to incorporate daily stretching in just 5-10 minutes, and why being active throughout your day matters more than one long cardio session.

Plus, Morgan announces the launch of her new Morgan's Cooking Club—a monthly membership where women can cook together virtually, share recipes, and build their kitchen confidence alongside their fitness journey.

If you've ever started strong in January only to quit by Valentine's Day, this episode will change your entire approach to fitness goal-setting. Learn how to make sustainable changes that support your health for the long haul, not just the first few weeks of the year.
