Bare Minimum Mondays – 08/11/2025

Move
Try a simple 5‑minute bodyweight “exercise snack” each day (e.g. squats, wall push‑ups, heel drops). Short routines (under 5 minutes) are still enough to significantly improve strength and mental well-being in previously sedentary adults. And keeping them short helps to build consistency.

Eat
Include legumes (beans, lentils) in one meal this week. Meta-analysis shows legume consumption reduces risk factors for heart disease and supports overall health. Read more HERE.

Sleep
Consistently wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. A regular wake-up schedule improves circadian rhythms and sleep quality.

Manage
Spend 2 minutes doing nothing. Close your eyes, or leave them open. Pay attention to your breath, or don’t. But do absolutely nothing for 2 solid minutes.
