What's one small fitness habit that made a huge difference for you?
When it comes to fitness, it’s not just about intense workouts or strict diets. Often, the small, consistent habits make the biggest difference over time, in both our bodies and minds.

New to the app.
I’ve had a garmin watch for some time now and found this as a suggestion, so I’m on day 2 and figuring it out bit by bit. Definitely excited to get this journey up to speed, not high speed just a nice cruising type of speed, this isn’t a one off bike ride but the rest of life!
