A YEAR OF GROWTH, STRENGTH AND BETTER HEALTH (2025).
Reflect on 2025 and make 2026 better.
As we move through 2025, now is the perfect time to pause and reflect on your fitness journey, what you’ve achieved, what you’ve learned, and how your health has changed over the past year. Whether your goal was to get stronger, improve mobility, manage pain, or simply build healthier habits, reflecting on your progress is one of the most powerful ways to stay motivated and continue moving forward.
At JY Exercise Physiology, I work closely with clients across all ages and abilities to create personalised, evidence-based exercise plans that build long-term health. Reflecting on your journey helps you recognise your progress and set meaningful goals for the months ahead.
What Did Your Fitness Journey Look Like This Year ?
2025 has been a year of shifting routines, new training trends, and a growing focus on long-term health rather than quick fixes. Here are some key areas to look back on:
1. Strength and Mobility Improvements
Did you feel stronger ? Did daily activities become easier ?
Strength training continues to be one of the most effective ways to improve health outcomes from boosting metabolism to supporting bone density and reducing injury risk.
2. Pain, Recovery, and Injury Management
Many people explored targeted exercise physiology programs this year to manage chronic conditions, joint pain, and mobility issues.
Ask yourself:
Has your pain improved ?
Are you recovering better after exercise ?
Has your confidence in movement grown ?
3. Consistency and Routine
Even small, regular habits make a big difference. Reflect on how often you moved, stretched, or exercised and how these habits made you feel physically and mentally.
4. Mental Wellbeing
Exercise isn’t just about the body. For many clients, 2025 brought noticeable improvements in mood, sleep, and stress levels through consistent movement.
Celebrating Your Wins (Big or Small)
Progress doesn’t always come in the form of heavier weights or faster times. Real change also looks like:
Walking without discomfort
Having more energy for family or work
Feeling more confident in your body
Recovering faster after training
Managing chronic health conditions more effectively
Every step counts. At JY Exercise Physiology, I celebrate these meaningful improvements just as much as performance-based goals.
What Challenges Did You Face in 2025 ?
Reflecting also means identifying areas that didn’t go as planned. Perhaps you:
Struggled with motivation
Experienced pain that held you back
Had difficulty balancing exercise with work or family
Needed more structure or accountability
Felt unsure where to start
These challenges aren’t setbacks, they are opportunities to adjust your plan and build a better path forward with the support of an Exercise Physiologist.

Setting New Goals for the Rest of 2025
With reflection comes direction. Consider setting goals that are:
Realistic – based on your current lifestyle and capacity
Specific – “walk 3 times per week” instead of “be more active”
Meaningful – goals that genuinely matter to your health and wellbeing
Enjoyable – you’re more likely to stick to what you love
