Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I want to move today but I’ve got no gym, no gear, and barely any floor space
- In my head it’s a full hour at the gym or nothing at all, so on busy or drained days it’s always nothing
- I keep vaguely telling myself to "move more" during the day and then a sedentary day slides by and I haven’t budged once
- 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 can feel myself getting weaker and softer from sitting all the time, and the cardio snacks aren’t touching that
