FitSix Challenge: Week 9 — Lock In Your Anchor Habits

Why Week 9 Matters

You’ve completed eight weeks of hard work—reconnecting with your why, building minimum standards, refining your daily rhythm, fueling with more intention, simplifying your meals, and becoming aware of energy balance and emotions.

Now we’re in the final phase of the challenge: elevating and expanding. And the first step is to identify and strengthen your anchor habits—the routines that keep you grounded, no matter what.

The Focus This Week: Anchor Habits = Stability

Anchor habits are the foundation of long-term success. They’re the small, repeatable actions that feel natural, sustainable, and reliable. These are the habits that keep you steady when motivation fades or life gets messy.

When you know your anchors, you never start over—you simply return to your base.

Nutrition: Anchors, Not Overhauls

• Choose one nutrition habit that feels automatic (protein with 2 meals, packing snacks, drinking water).
• Stick with it daily this week—even when schedules shift.
• 📌 Pro Tip: Your anchor isn’t the “perfect” choice; it’s the consistent one.

Training: Protect Your Anchor Sessions

• By now, 3+ weekly workouts should feel non-negotiable.
• Treat them like appointments—you wouldn’t cancel a meeting with your boss, so don’t cancel on yourself.
• Add lifestyle movement (steps, stretching) to reinforce your anchors.

Mindset: Trust Your System

When things get tough, it’s easy to overthink or chase “new hacks.” Instead, trust the habits you’ve already built. Anchor habits create resilience and confidence.

Ask yourself: Which habits do I fall back on when life gets busy? Those are your anchors.

Action Steps for Week 9

1. Identify one anchor habit in each FitSix pillar (Move, Eat, Sleep, Think, Recover, Connect).
2. Practice your anchors daily—especially on stressful or busy days.
3. Double down on what worked best in Weeks 1–8.
4. Keep workouts scheduled and consistent.

The Bottom Line

Week 9 is about locking in your anchors—the habits that keep you steady, consistent, and confident no matter what. These are the habits that will carry you through the final stretch of the challenge and beyond.
