    Start way easier. Like stupid easy. Like so easy it'd be stupid not to do it. Then commit and slowly build up.

    Like today or tomorrow do it once for 2 minutes. The next time do it for 2.5 minutes. Then the next time do it for 3 minutes. Then the next time do it twice a day for 2 minutes.

    Maybe even slower than that. Maybe only 15 or 20 seconds each increase. Maybe just start with 20 seconds.

    To go from not exercising to having to convince yourself to exercise 6 times a day will be quite a challenge. From my personal experience if I did it like you have planned id have to constantly convince myself to do it. I'd have excuses, compromises, deals all ready to strike with myself.

    Maybe start with 30 seconds or even less. 15 seconds! Then tomorrow youre already at 30 and after a week youre at 2 minutes! Make Make it so damn easy you can't convince yourself not to. Then put a plan in place so that there is minimal thinking or deciding. Once you do it for a few weeks then you can't start getting creative and swifty with it.

        Good luck. It's the only thing that consistently gets me back lifting after a break. Like I'll take 100lbs off my lifts(or just bar, maybe I'll OHP 150 one day).

        You can always do more if it's too too easy. Just keep it easy enough you come back for more.

        Also there is a trick I use sometimes when I need to start something I don't want to do. I don't ever convince myself or agree to do it, I just sorta start moving without committing. Pull a fast one on my chatterbox brain.
