• •Choose enjoyable activities (walking, cycling, bodyweight exercises) to increase adherence.
• •Track workouts in a journal or app to monitor progress and stay motivated.
• •Incorporate flexibility and mobility routines at least once a week.

This phase emphasizes increasing workout frequency and duration while refining exercise techniques. The aim is to solidify fitness as a non-negotiable part of daily life and to start seeing improvements in strength and endurance.
