Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I want a short set routine I can actually learn and repeat every day, not a grab-bag of poses
- When I do have a free five minutes to move, I waste the whole thing dithering over what to actually do, and by the time I’ve decided the moment’s gone
- I want to move today but I’ve got no gym, no gear, and barely any floor space
- I did the whole exercise once for a big goal and it helped, then never touched it again — and now every new thing I want, I’m back to just daydreaming about it.
- I want to actually get stronger but I’ll never commit to a full lifting session
