Parents: one tiny exercise you slipped into family time that actually stuck?
If you have young kids or a busy household, what’s one small movement or mini-habit you started during family routines that actually lasted? For example: a 10-squat routine while kids brush their teeth, a 15-minute walk after dinner, or simple stretches during the school-bag drill. What did you do, how did you make it non-negotiable, and why did it survive day-to-day life?

Evidence-informed context for this discussion
Anchor a tiny movement to a stable family cue (habit‑stacking) and make an if‑then plan (implementation intention). For example: “If the kids brush teeth, I do 10 squats.” WHO’s 2020 guidance says any duration of activity counts toward weekly totals, so short bursts add up. Make it social/fun, keep it very low friction, track visibly, and prioritise consistency over intensity. Check with a clinician if you have health concerns.
