New Year Resolutions

Pursuit Health has partnered with the top brands to help you apply your HSA and FSA funds to save on many products that can transform your health in 2025. Here are four actionable steps you can take before the end of the year to improve your health:

1. Prioritize Strength and Mobility Training

• Action Step: Begin a consistent resistance training program, focusing on major muscle groups, and incorporate exercises for balance and flexibility.
  • Example: Commit to 2–3 strength sessions per week, focusing on compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, or push-ups.
  • Add a daily mobility routine (e.g., 10 minutes of stretches or yoga) to improve joint health.

Why? Building muscle and improving mobility now will protect against age-related decline and reduce injury risk over time.

Pursuit Recommends – Use your HSA funds to save 30+%. Use your funds before the end of the year for home gyms, boutique fitness classes and gym memberships. 

2. Prioritize Cardiovascular Fitness

• Action Step: Start incorporating Zone 2 training into your weekly routine.
  • Example: Aim for 3 sessions of 30–45 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming at a pace where you can still hold a conversation.
  • Add a short high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session once a week.

Why? Improving aerobic fitness enhances mitochondrial function, cardiovascular health, and longevity.

Pursuit Recommends – Put an event on the calendar in 2025. Signing up for a 5k, half marathon or Hyrox event adds to the accountability needed to get the consistency of this habit started. 

3. Audit Your Sleep

• Action Step: Take tangible steps to improve your sleep quality by addressing behaviors and optimizing your environment.
  • Example:
    • Set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, even on weekends.
    • Tis the season for celebration. Try to limit alcohol especially before bed. 

Why? Sleep is foundational for recovery, hormonal health, and cognitive function, making it a high-priority lever for better health.

Pursuit Recommends – Track your sleep and if you need a last minute gift try – Eight Sleep. Using Sauna before bed has been shown to decrease stress and improve recovery. 

4. Begin Regular Health Monitoring

• Action Step: Schedule a baseline health checkup and consider tracking key metrics like blood glucose, cholesterol, and body composition.
  • Example:
    • Get a blood panel that includes fasting insulin, HbA1c, lipids, and liver function.
    • Use wearable tech to monitor daily steps, heart rate variability, and sleep patterns.

Why? Tracking key metrics allows you to identify areas for improvement and measure progress toward better health.

Pursuit Recommends – Get your annual physical set or use a company like Inside Tracker for blood tests. Track activity using Garmin, Whoop or Oura. 

Bonus: Focus on Nutrition

While not a standalone step, consider aligning your diet with longevity goals. This could mean reducing ultra-processed foods, increasing protein intake to support muscle growth, and incorporating more fiber from vegetables.

Pursuit Recommends – Avoiding the center of the grocery store and supplement with great brands like Momentous or a personalized supplement like Gainful

By implementing these steps before the end of the year, you’ll lay a strong foundation for better health in the long term. Each action is measurable and practical, ensuring you enter the new year with momentum toward longevity and vitality.
