Make exercise fit into your day
Aim for 10–15 minute workouts. Short bursts make it easier to be consistent, even with a busy schedule.
Stretch while watching TV or warm up before cooking. Integrating movement into daily tasks increases activity naturally.
Add workouts to your calendar like any other appointment to help turn activity into a steady routine.
Focus on bodyweight movements that feel safe and familiar, such as squats or gentle stretches.
