Find Your Movement Floor
Define the smallest amount of movement you can maintain on difficult days.
What to know
Consistency grows from an achievable floor, not an ideal ceiling.
Short bouts can contribute to overall activity.
Pain, fatigue, disability, environment, and safety change what is appropriate.
