Strong Start: Fitness, Energy & Motivation

You don't need an all-or-nothing approach to feel stronger. Consistency matters more than intensity, especially when starting fresh.

Try this approach:

• 20 minutes count. Short workouts still deliver benefits.
• Schedule movement like a meeting. Same time, same days each week.
• Choose what you like. Walking, yoga, strength training, or on-demand classes all qualify as movement. Pick the workouts or exercises that make you feel good.
• Track progress, not perfection. Energy, mood, and sleep are wins too. Small reps done consistently can lead to big changes by spring.
