How to Build a Consistent Movement Routine (Even on Busy Days)

Consistency doesn’t come from big bursts of motivation — it’s built from small, repeatable habits. The secret is flexibility: finding movement that fits your life rather than forcing your life around exercise.

Start small. Aim for 10 minutes a day — stretching, walking, or breathing — and build from there. Create cues, like rolling out your mat right after your morning coffee, to make it easier to start.

Let go of “all or nothing” thinking. Even a few mindful breaths or a walk around the block counts.
