What's the one low-effort trick that stopped your fitness routine from falling apart?
We all start and stop—busy weeks, family, travel, deadlines. Instead of big plans, what's the single, low-effort rule or habit you actually used to keep a routine alive (e.g., a 10-minute minimum, calendar cross-off, workout with a friend, or an evening walk you never skip)? Say what the rule was and roughly how long it helped you stay consistent.

Evidence-informed context for this discussion
Use a tiny, nonnegotiable minimum (eg, 5–10 minutes) + lock it into your calendar as an appointment and pair it with an if‑then plan ("If it's 7pm and I'm tired, then I will do 10 minutes of movement"). Research on implementation intentions and "tiny habits" shows short, concrete plans increase follow-through; WHO and other guidelines note that short bouts of activity still count toward weekly totals. This reduces all‑or‑nothing thinking and builds consistency—habit formation often takes weeks, so the small win keeps you going.
