Healthy Habits
Exercise that fits real life
Build a routine you can repeat—strength, cardio, and mobility—without burning out. Use these guides to choose the right mix for your goal and schedule.

Your weekly exercise mix
Use this simple framework to cover the basics. Adjust volume up or down based on recovery, sleep, and stress.
Strength training
2–4 days/week. Focus on big movements (squat/hinge/push/pull/carry). Progress slowly: add a rep, a set, or a small weight increase.
Cardio for health
2–4 days/week. Mix easy Zone 2 sessions with 1 shorter, harder session if recovery is solid. Walking counts.
Mobility + core
10–15 minutes most days. Prioritize hips, ankles, thoracic spine, and a few core staples (planks, dead bugs, carries).
Rest + recovery
1–2 days/week. Keep steps light, stretch gently, and aim for consistent sleep—recovery is where progress happens.
