Ten Minutes Outside

Spend ten minutes outside on foot every day, with simple evening check-ins and an optional increase after 14 days. This is a small movement rule, not a full walking program, and it has no end date.

or get coached through it

A small daily step can help you start moving again without taking on a full program.

Daily Outside Time

Follow the same simple stop every day with no end date.

How It Works

Keep the rule small, repeatable, and easy to report.

Take Ten Minutes

Spend ten minutes outside on foot at any time of day.

Count Simple Routes

A lap around the block or three mailbox trips both count.

Dress For Weather

Use a shorter route or wear a coat rather than skipping for weather.

Check In Nightly

Tell BodyBuddy once each evening whether your outside time happened.

Choose After Two Weeks

After 14 days, keep ten minutes or add five minutes with BodyBuddy.

Increase By Five

Add no more than five minutes at a time, and consider a library walking plan once you reach 30 minutes.

Your Daily Movement

This is the one concrete practice at the center of the plan.

day 14 already, keep ten minutes or add five tomorrow?
I’m kind of proud, but fifteen still feels like a lot.
