If you fall into the “Lack of Exercise Type”, jumping straight into a gym membership or running routine isn’t the best approach.
That can feel overwhelming and lead to quitting after just a few days. Instead of focusing on “exercise,” start with a simple goal of moving a little more each day.
You don’t need to hit 10,000 steps right away—starting with just 5,000 steps is perfectly fine. Small, daily movements make a bigger difference than you think
For example try to:
•
Take stairs for 1-2 floors instead of using elevator.
•
Get off the bus one stop early and walk a little extra.
•
Stand up and stretch for 2 minutes if you have been sitting over an hour.
When these small habits add up,
one day, without even realizing it, your body will naturally want to move.
Start with the mindset of “Let’s just do 10 minutes a day.” Once you hit 10 minutes, you might think, “Maybe I can go a little longer?”—and that’s how an exercise routine begins.
Even a simple note of your daily steps or workouts can show you how you're gradually becoming a more active person.
A Word from the Coach
Don’t try to be perfect from the start.
When it comes to exercising, consistency beats skills. Even just 5 or 10 minutes of movement a day is truly valuable
Start small, and don’t forget to praise yourself along the way.
