Low energy is a common barrier to exercise — but movement can actually help you feel more energised over time.

**What to try when energy is low:**
- Start with gentle options like stretching or walking
- Schedule activity at the time of day you feel most alert
- Choose styles that restore you, like yoga or Pilates
- Remind yourself that even a little movement boosts mood and circulation
- Make sure you’re eating well, sleeping enough, and managing stress

The hardest part is often just getting started. Begin small — energy improves with momentum.
