Welcome back to our Wednesday Wellness check-ins! 🌿
As we navigate the first weeks of 2026, something I've been thinking about a lot lately is movement and how I feel the need to change my exercise and active habits during different seasons of the year, and the different seasons of life. I always come back to one guiding principle: The best exercise for you is the one you’ll enjoy and stick with.
Whether it’s walking, swimming, dancing, strength training, yoga, or gardening - movement is most powerful when it fits your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. When it comes to exercise, there’s no “one‑size‑fits‑all” approach.
💡 How to choose the right exercise for you
Instead of asking “What should I do?”, try asking:
-
What do I enjoy (or at least don’t mind)?
-
What suits my body right now?
-
What fits realistically into my week?
Exercise should support your wellbeing, not feel like a punishment.
🔁 Turning movement into a habit
Starting is one thing. Sticking with it is another. A few gentle habit‑building tips:
-
Start small - even 5 to 10 minutes counts
-
Link it to a routine - like walking after dinner or stretching after waking up
-
Be flexible - missed a day? No problem, just restart
-
Celebrate progress, not perfection
Consistency matters more than intensity. Little steps add up.
💪 This Wednesday, consider one small way you could move a little more, in a way that feels kind, achievable, and sustainable.
I hope these tips are helpful for you - especially on the scorcher days like today in Melbourne!! Comment below what your favourite exercise/activity is at the moment, today I am doing Yin Yoga and staying hydrated 👇
