Why Week 11 Matters
You’ve already built a solid foundation, refined your habits, and locked in your anchors. Now, with just two weeks left in the FitSix Challenge, it’s time to take things up a notch.
Week 11 is all about Leveling Up—leaning into the systems you’ve built and proving to yourself that you can push further than you thought possible. This is your opportunity to turn “good enough” into your best effort yet.
The Focus This Week: Add Challenge → Build Confidence
Progress happens when you stretch just outside your comfort zone. Leveling up doesn’t mean adding drastic changes—it means taking the habits you already own and raising the standard.
Training: Push a Little Harder
- Add weight, add reps, or challenge your pacing.
- Prioritize quality intensity over mindless volume.
- 📌 Pro Tip: Focus on one lift, one conditioning piece, or one skill to push beyond what feels comfortable.
Nutrition: Tighten Consistency
- Look at where you’ve been slipping—skipping meals, late-night snacking, or inconsistent protein.
- Choose one area to dial in this week.
- Small refinements in consistency compound quickly.
Mindset: No Negotiations
- Your brain will say: “I don’t feel like it.”
- Respond with: “I show up because that’s who I am.”
- This week is about practicing resilience—especially when it would be easier not to.
Action Steps for Week 11
- Revisit your “why” from Week 1. Let it fuel you.
- Pick one area to Level Up: intensity, consistency, or intention.
- Prove to yourself you don’t negotiate with your habits.
- Celebrate the progress you’ve already made—this week is about confidence, not perfection.
The Bottom Line
Week 11 is your chance to show yourself just how strong your systems are. By pushing just a little harder, you’ll finish this challenge knowing you’ve given your best effort—and that effort builds confidence that lasts far beyond these 12 weeks.
