Yes. Five. Minutes.
No leggings.
No 45-minute commitments.
No heavy weights.
No “no pain, no gain” theatrics.
Just short bursts scattered through the day that actually… happen.

I like moving. Big difference.
This newsletter is about how I stopped fighting my personality, ignored fitness trends, and built a system that:
– strengthens my body
– doesn’t disgust me
– and survives real life, winter, ugly sneakers, and motivation gaps
If exercise has ever felt like a lifestyle you had to join rather than something you could just do — this one’s for you.
