Between the nausea, the exhaustion, the toddler chaos, birth, post partum my intentional movement quietly fell away for a good 3+ months. I was still moving, walks, running after two small humans, but the actual workouts disappeared. So last week I started again, and here’s the thing nobody tells you: the first five workouts are just hard. Not because the workout itself is hard, because starting is hard. Once you’ve done five or six and the rhythm returns, momentum takes over. My routine right now is nothing impressive. Ten minutes of Pilates that sometimes turn to twenty minutes, daily walks that are non-negotiable, and yin yoga once or twice a week that does more for my nervous system than anything else on this list. You don’t have to start on Monday. You don’t have to wait until you feel ready. Just start today, with whatever you have.
