Movement for the Days You Do Not Feel Like It

Some days the workout is the win. Other days, the win is just moving at all. Both count. Here is my five-minute reset for heavy days — no equipment, no changing clothes, no pressure.

• 1 minute: slow walk, anywhere
• 1 minute: shoulder rolls and neck circles
• 1 minute: ten slow bodyweight squats
• 1 minute: stretch whatever feels tight
• 1 minute: stand by a window and breathe

Motion changes emotion — that is not a slogan, it is neurology. You do not have to feel ready. You just have to begin, gently.
