Take a look at what's on this month.

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.

As a Harvard Pilgrim member, you have access to Living Well, a digital wellness platform offering free virtual classes you can join from home. Whether you're new to fitness or restarting after a break, Living Well makes it easy to jump in at your own pace.
