Five to fifteen minutes of movement can happen anywhere — at work, school, a hotel, public greenspace, or a friend’s home. Many stretches or exercises can be tailored. For example, push-ups may be done from the ground, a wall, or a bench. Dips and upper body stretches can be done from a chair.

Balance exercises are proven to strengthen small, stabilizing muscles and support coordination for safer, more confident movement. Start simple — try a heel-to-toe walk, wall-stabilized balance pose, or single-arm movements to test your balance safely and build from there.

Warm up exercises increase circulation and allow the heart and muscles to prepare the body for physical activity, like cardiovascular exercises. The Florida 50 challenge recommends 5 to 15 minutes of activity per day when easing into a new routine. Federal guidelines for adults recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.
