An absurd amount of imaginary muscle. A refreshingly ordinary approach to moving more.

The muscles are made up.
The small habits are yours.

General activity ideas from the sources below. Written by our editors, never attributed to the people pictured. Choose activities that fit your circumstances.
Build a weekly rhythm
For adults, WHO recommends 150–300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week, or the vigorous equivalent. Build toward it gradually; a little activity still counts.
Make room for strength
WHO recommends working the major muscle groups on two or more days a week. Choose a manageable starting level rather than chasing the imaginary physiques in our artwork.
Find something you enjoy
Walking, dancing or an active hobby can all help you spend less time sitting. Choose something that suits your circumstances and is pleasant enough to repeat.
