What's one small daily habit you 'anchored' your fitness to so it actually stuck?

Often people keep a routine by attaching a tiny workout or movement to an existing daily cue—after brushing teeth, after the school run, or right after evening chai. What single anchor did you use? Say the exact cue, the 5–15 minute action you did, and whether it survived busy days or travel.

Editorial

Use an event-based anchor and an implementation-intention phrasing: "After I finish brushing my teeth in the morning, I will do 10 squats." Event-based cues (existing routines) + a concrete action and phrasing (When X, I will Y) reliably increase follow-through. Keep the action tiny (5–15 minutes or a 1–3 minute micro-set) and have a fallback for busy/travel days (2-minute plank, 20 calf raises on stairs, or one hotel-room AM circuit). Reward yourself immediately (check a box, have a sip of chai) so the loop strengthens.
