The Rule: Start Small, Stay Consistent

Most people fail because they try to go from zero to extreme. “From tomorrow, I’ll work out 2 hours daily.”

Don’t do that. All you need is 10–15 minutes a day. Fitness isn’t about intensity. It’s about consistency. Small progress every day beats extreme effort once a month.
