Starting to go to the gym can be intimidating and overwhelming. Luckily, you don’t need to deal with all of that to get started and all it takes is less than 5 minutes a day.

When you first wake up, do 5 pushups and 5 squats. That’s it, no weights, no nothing. You can even do the pushups on your knees if you need to build up strength. Do them everyday and once it becomes easy, and trust me it will, increase to 10.

I guarantee you will start to see and feel a difference in just 2 weeks 💜

    Great advice! It’s about building habits slowly not about overnight life changes. If we make small changes regularly we change our lives over time!

    I love this post. I love the notion of zen garden.

    I go for a walk every day with my dog but my fitness definitely still has room for improvement.

    This post has inspired me to be more disciplined. I’m going to make squats and pushups part of my daily routine.
