Move for 8

You're not lazy. Your plans were built for your best day.

Move for 8 is for people who have started exercising and quit more times than they can count. Instead of asking you to find an hour, join a gym, buy equipment, or completely change your life, this book gives you one simple rule you can keep even on a difficult day:

Move for eight minutes.

One minute to warm up. Six minutes of movement and short rests. One minute to cool down.

No gym. No special equipment—a chair and a wall will do. No complicated decisions about what workout to choose.

Inside you'll find:

• 25 illustrated moves, each with three form cues, an easier version, a harder version, and the mistake beginners commonly make

• 24 eight-minute routines at three levels—Start, Build, and Strong—laid out one per page so you can open the book and follow along

• A "Which 8 Today?" chooser for tired days, desk days, hotel rooms, late nights, and other real-life situations

• A complete 30-day plan that tells you what to do each day

• A 12-week tracker to help you continue building the habit after the first month

• The Excuse Toolkit, with practical scripts and fallback routines for five common excuses that derail exercise plans

• A straightforward look at the research behind physical activity, short bouts of movement, and habit formation

Eight minutes isn't the finish line. It's a starting point you can return to on the days when a full workout feels impossible.

From there, Move for 8 helps you gradually build toward the 150 minutes of weekly moderate-intensity physical activity recommended for most adults.

You don't have to become someone who loves exercise overnight.

You just have to start.

Easy still counts.

Start with eight. Start today.
