STRONGBODY75: What If You Gave Yourself a Year?

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and barely recognized the person staring back at you, this post is for you.

Hi, I’m Heather Monthie, and I want to talk about something that’s been on my heart lately: What if you gave yourself a year?
A year to stop starting over.
A year to focus on you again.
A year to rebuild your strength, confidence, and energy from the inside out.

This idea has resonated deeply with so many women in our community, and it’s the foundation of my newest project: the StrongBody 75 Transformation Challenge, a 75-day journey to help you refocus, reconnect, and rediscover your strongest self.

Where This Idea Began

A few years ago, I found myself in a rut.
Between work, responsibilities, and recovery from an injury, I had gained 60 pounds over seven years. I was constantly tired, my confidence was fading, and I felt disconnected from the active, vibrant person I used to be.

Then came a turning point — a hike in the Grand Canyon. I’ve been a hiker for most of my life, but this time was different. I wasn’t ready. I struggled through the climb and realized, this isn’t who I want to be anymore.

That day, I made a decision: I’m giving myself a year.
A year to rebuild my body and mind.
A year to get strong again, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Why a Year — Not a Quick Fix

So many of us think in short bursts: six-week challenges, 30-day diets, or “get ready for vacation” programs. They can work in the short term, but they rarely build the habits that last a lifetime.

What I learned through my own transformation is that it takes time to:

• Build consistency without burnout
• Develop resilience to bounce back from setbacks
• Reconnect with yourself after years of putting everyone else first

That’s why I encourage women to think long-term. Give yourself the space to grow into your strength instead of chasing it.

Introducing: The StrongBody 75 Challenge

Here’s the truth: most of us don’t need another crash program. We need a community, a plan, and accountability.

That’s exactly what the StrongBody 75 Challenge is.

🗓 October 18 – December 31, 2025
💻 100% Virtual – Join from anywhere

It’s 75 days where you pick your goal and I help guide you toward it.

Your goal might be to:

• Get consistent with your workouts or walks
• Stretch or practice yoga daily
• Improve your nutrition and hydration habits
• Rebuild your confidence after a setback

I’ll provide yoga and stretch videos, bodyweight and strength workouts, mindset tools, and a private community for motivation and accountability.

You’ll also get access to my full StrongBody Club library — including workouts, yoga classes, and nutrition resources — all designed for active women over 40 who want to feel strong and capable again.

The Power of Resilience

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned? It’s not about never falling off track.
It’s about how quickly you come back.

When life happens — illness, injury, stress — you don’t lose everything you’ve built. You take a breath, adjust, and keep going. That’s real strength.

Consistency + Resilience = Confidence.
That’s the heart of the StrongBody philosophy.
