Daily Short Exercise Programs
Structured week-by-week programs built around 5–10 minute daily sessions. A practical framework for anyone wanting to build a consistent movement habit.
A Weekly Rhythm That Builds Over Time
Our daily programs are organised into weekly cycles. Each day has an assigned session type, rest days are built in, and the structure is designed to be followed flexibly — if you miss a day, simply continue from where you left off.
-
5 active days, 2 rest days
Each weekly cycle includes five movement days and two rest or light-activity days to allow recovery.
-
Progressive across 4 weeks
Session difficulty and volume increase gently week by week, encouraging gradual adaptation without overwhelming your schedule.
-
Flexible start point
You can begin on any day of the week. The program is designed around a rolling 7-day cycle rather than fixed calendar days.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No equipment is required for any sessions in the daily programs. All exercises use bodyweight only and can be performed in a small, clear space. A yoga mat or non-slip surface is recommended for floor-based exercises.
-
Simply resume from where you left off when you're ready. There is no need to "make up" missed sessions. The program is designed for real life — consistency over time matters more than a perfect record.
-
Yes. Week 1 is designed to be approachable for anyone starting from a low movement baseline. Every session includes a beginner modification option. If you are new to structured exercise or have any existing health considerations, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before beginning.
-
Absolutely. If Week 1 feels like the right challenge level for you, repeat it as many times as you like before progressing to Week 2. The goal is to establish a routine that feels manageable and sustainable before increasing the load.
