For one, all of us mere mortals (myself included) ought to start out
easy when starting up a new routine – especially new exercise routines.
Afterall, what good is training if a) you hate it, or b) you get hurt.
Unless you’re trying something crazy, you can avoid both of these
problems by easing into it. Even 1 minute a day to start things off
will be better than none at all.
(Side Note: ALWAYS get doctor-approval before starting new diet or
training programs)
2. Focusing on something quick and easy, like 1 minute of holding
the pushup position or a wallchair, makes it easy to get it done today,
and the next day and so on… and it sets you up for success.
String a couple days together and soon you might find it easier to do it
than to skip it.
3. Yes, you have time. If you’re just getting started – try holding a
pushup for time, or sit in a wall chair position for 60 seconds and
when you’re done you can check it of the list and call it a day.
3.5 Do this first thing in the morning to give your day a quick boost.
And one thing already marked off your list.

p.s. Pushups and Wall-Chairs are just two of many different exercises
you can do for a minute. In Matt Furey’s book Combat Conditioning -
there’s 48 bodyweight exercises – pick out some favorites to do daily
or rotate them if you like.

p.p.s. If you like what you see and you buy the book, I may get
a commission for recommending it to you.
That said, you might not use or like all the exercises listed in this book,
but I bet you’ll find (like I have) a handful you like to do.
