Editorial

Short daily sessions ('exercise snacks') are often easier to sustain. WHO guidance frames health benefits around weekly volume (about 150–300 min moderate activity) and minutes can be accumulated across the day, so multiple 10–20 min bursts count. For strength work, aim for muscle‑strengthening twice a week (you can split it). Practical adherence tips: habit‑stack (anchor to an existing routine), set a tiny minimum to avoid skipping, pre‑lay kit, schedule calendar slots, and add accountability.
