After the break……

Getting back on track with your workout routine can feel overwhelming, but the hardest part is simply starting. Take one small, concrete action today—put on your workout clothes, set a 20-minute timer, or step outside for a brisk walk. Momentum grows from motion; once you begin, the immediate sense of accomplishment and the physical sensations—increased energy, clearer thinking, improved mood—remind you why you started in the first place.
Use these practical steps to make starting easier:

• Set a tiny, nonnegotiable habit: commit to 10–15 minutes. Small wins build consistency.

• Schedule workouts like appointments on your calendar and treat them as important.

• Choose one activity you genuinely enjoy to lower resistance (walking, dancing, swimming).

• Prepare ahead: lay out clothes, pack your bag, or plan a quick playlist to remove friction.

• Track progress visually: a simple calendar or checklist shows momentum and fuels motivation.

• Pair exercise with something rewarding: a favorite podcast, a smooth post-workout stretch, or a healthy treat.

Remember that the desire for the look and feel you get from regular workouts returns as you create routine. Early improvements—better sleep, more confidence, clothes fitting differently, more energy—reignite motivation and help you fall in love with the process again. Focus on consistency over perfection; each session, however small, brings you back to the version of you who thrives.
