Similarly, just showing up at the gym/hobby/sport is huge. Even if you do next to nothing.

a stranger i once talked to at the gym told me "every workout is better than the workout you are not doing" and that kinda changed my perspective on that topic.

Yeah I go bouldering even on off days to “stay in the rhythm”. And I do have honestly terrible days where I feel I’m struggling climbs of even a grade below my comfort level, but at least I went lol.

The best form of exercise is the one you can consistently stick with.
