why LESS is MORE with your workouts #workoutmotivation

why a 5 minute workout can be BETTER than 40 minutes…

consistency over perfection.

When you only have the energy or time to commit to a short workout, or even a small part of a workout, showing up builds a habit. It teaches your mind that you are someone who moves, someone who shows up, even in the smallest ways.

On the other hand, pushing yourself to do a single long, exhausting workout once and then skipping the rest of the week often leaves you feeling frustrated, disappointed, and stuck.

A habit is built when you give what you have today – not when you aim to go beyond and then feel like you’ve failed.

So start with what you can. Those small efforts compound into results and confidence over time.

Remember: it’s not about how much you do in one day – it’s about how often you show up.

I needed this today! I struggle with the all or nothing mentality a lot and I am having a rough mommy day. But, I made it through 15 minutes. Proud of what I could do today. (Or trying to be at least!)

I started pushing myself when I saw your realistic consistency like at least 5/10 mins is better than nothing. Also makes me feel better when show half an energy is still as good as being fast and upbeat!

[HelenRosenboom]

This is me 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ve got to unlearn this perfection or bust mentality 😢

Thanks Jo. Your 10 min workouts r where its at.

Clothing has been the biggest hurdle for regular work outs for me. I now work out in whatever I'm wearing for the day. Be it jeans or underwear 😂

Jo I was about to push off my workout to later (after a school meeting I have this morning) and do a longer workout but seeing this video was my sign to get something done this morning so I feel more accomplished so I did a 10 minute intense ab workout. Thank you for visualizing these ideas to us. It makes a huge different than simply being told “be consistent every day”

[nhenderson]

This is an amazing visual!!!! I needed this. Will definitely move my body TODAY! and try to be consistent even if it's just a few minutes.

[CC-tege]

Thank you for this! I always beat myself up and end up in this terrible cycle. Little steps....

[nicholastones]

I’m so pleased I saw this video .I’ve now started writing down in a calendar when I manage to excercise with Jo .First time I’m actually enjoying excercise x

[shreyaakmr]

This is so relatable! There are days when im so mentally exhausted that i dont get the time to finish an entire workout but i try my best to get through as much as i can ❤

[shaakirahoverberg]

I did this and still doing it 31 days of being consistent 😊

[usenrname]

Your motivation approach and your workout videos are one of the reasons I'm getting healthy rn! Thank you ❣️

[julesf]

Thank you!! I really needed to hear this today.
I almost didn’t do anything today because I was tired but I got up and squeaked out twenty minutes and I’m glad I did.

[Rylie-tuxl]

I have done this, and moving every day feels so much better than just doing a ton in 2 days!

[anniehodgson]

I have countless times that I made your workouts even if I wasn't in the mood for it. And right after I ended feeling renew.

I love this because I am always the one on the left!!! I need to be on the right side and just do what I can do 😢
