Back After a Break

A three-week plan for returning to movement gradually. Start with half of the activity you first had in mind, move three nonconsecutive days each week, and use how your body feels to adjust before choosing an ongoing program in week three.

or get coached through it

This three-week reset helps you return to movement gently and build a plan that fits your body now.

Three Week Reset

Move three days each week, never on two days in a row.

How It Works

The reset favors a steady return over matching what you once could do.

Use the half rule

Do half of what you first intended on day one, even if the full plan feels familiar.

Leave recovery days

Move three times weekly without scheduling sessions on consecutive days.

Check in twice

Tell BodyBuddy the next session the night before and describe how your body feels the morning after.

Watch for dread

Soreness alone can be fine, but soreness with dread means the next effort should be smaller.

Pick the real plan

In week three, choose a program from the library or create your own before this reset closes.

How BodyBuddy works

  1. 1Start the plan.

I feel annoyed that I let the week slide.
you're still here, choose something small and leave a rest day after
Later
did tomorrow's movement feel doable once you started?

Week 3 · the finish

Today 7:42 AM
week 3 now, ready to choose the real program?
I'm relieved, but picking one still feels weirdly big.
let's use what your body liked and choose from the library tomorrow
Later
