Anchor Your Workout: The 2-Minute Trigger
Immediately after an existing daily habit (e.g., morning coffee, brushing teeth), perform a tiny, two-minute workout trigger. This could be simply changing into workout clothes, doing 10 squats, or stepping onto your mat. No more. The goal is to start, not complete, a full session.

This "habit anchoring" leverages an established routine to cue a new behavior, reducing decision fatigue and willpower reliance. By making the initial step minuscule (the "2-minute rule"), you lower the barrier to entry significantly. This consistency builds momentum and primes your brain for the larger workout, making it more likely you'll continue or expand. It's about showing up daily, not performing perfectly, which is key for habit formation.
