The Power of Small Movement: Transform Your Life with Just Five Minutes a Day

It didn’t start with a big plan or a perfect workout routine.
It started with frustration — the kind that comes when you realize how easy it is to promise yourself change… and how rarely it actually happens.

For months, I kept saying, “Tomorrow I’ll move.”
Tomorrow always came, but movement didn’t.

Then one day, I decided to do something so small it almost felt like cheating: I set a timer for five minutes and told myself, “Just move until it rings.”
No plan, no pressure, no gym bag. I walked around my apartment. I stretched a little. I breathed.

And that was it.

But something shifted. Those five minutes felt achievable — so achievable that the next day, I did it again.
And again.

It wasn’t about the calories burned or steps counted.
It was about showing up — proving to myself that I could keep a promise, even a small one.
Slowly, those five minutes became ten. Then fifteen.
Soon, I wasn’t thinking about how little time I had — I was thinking about how good it felt to move at all.

The secret? It wasn’t motivation.
It was momentum.

Movement creates energy. Energy creates consistency.
And consistency changes everything.

That’s what Did You Move? is built on — not grand fitness goals or extreme routines, but the quiet, steady power of small steps done daily.
You don’t need a transformation plan. You just need a moment — one question, one action, one day at a time.

So if you’re stuck, start small.
Set your timer. Move for five minutes.
Because that’s how big change always begins — in the smallest possible way.
