Choose a block size
- 10 minutes: one comfortable movement block.
- 15 minutes: 10 minutes of comfortable movement plus 5 minutes of easy range-of-motion work.
- 20 minutes: a 10-minute walk plus the short strength block on your two planned strength days, or another combination that fits your ability.
These are planning options, not the full adult guideline. Current US guidance recommends building toward at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, or 75 minutes vigorous, plus muscle-strengthening on at least two days. Activity can be broken into smaller chunks, and some is better than none.

End-of-week review
- Which block was easiest to begin?
- What got in the way?
- Which two blocks will I repeat next week?
- Do I need qualified help choosing or adapting a movement?
Use the simple seven-day routine or read how to start strength training after 50.
