A DAILY MOVEMENT GUIDE FOR ALL AGES, ABILITIES AND ENERGY LEVELS 
Movement is not fitness. It is a basic biological need.
This page exists to remove barriers, excuses and shame around movement. No matter your age, energy level, health status or ability— there is a way to engage your body today.
If you can breathe, you can participate.
Every body benefits from movement.
For some, movement looks like walking or lifting.
For others, it looks like breathing, assisted motion, posture, or mental engagement.
The goal is not performance— it is participation. Intention. Effort. Stability.

The Philosophy Behind the Minimum
-
Movement Is a Human Need
Movement is not fitness or performance. It is how the body maintains circulation, joint health, balance, and nervous system regulation across a lifetime.
Every body benefits from some form of intentional movement, regardless of age, health, or ability.
-
SIMPLICITY REMOVES BARRIERS
Most people don’t struggle because they don’t care; they struggle because routines feel complicated, exhausting or inaccessible. This framework removes complexity, equipment and intensity so there are fewer reasons not to begin.
-
ADAPTION IS THE POINT
There is no single “correct” way to move.
Chair-based, assisted, partial, slow, or imagined movement all count. The routine adapts to the body, not the other way around.
-
Consistency Matters More Than Intensity
Ten minutes done regularly has a greater impact than sporadic intense workouts. This is a floor you can return to during busy seasons, illness, recovery, or low energy— without guilt, shame or judgment.
