This guide is designed for people over 60 who want to start exercising at home without buying equipment or spending money. It moves away from complicated theories and focuses on a practical, step-by-step method to help you complete your first active week and maintain momentum. You will learn how to set up a routine that fits your life, define clear goals so you know when a task is finished, and track your progress with simple weekly notes. The guide also addresses the common mistakes that cause many beginners to quit, such as waiting for perfect conditions or changing methods too quickly.
