School holidays disrupt normal schedules, making structured exercise feel impossible amid care work, housework, and changing daily demands. When your usual routine breaks down, the instinct is often to wait until the holiday ends before trying to move again. That waiting period leads to dropped habits and unnecessary guilt.

Physical activity does not require a rigid schedule or an uninterrupted hour to be useful. Any amount of physical activity is better than none, all activity counts, and muscle strengthening benefits everyone. By accepting lower intensity and splitting movement into small chunks, you can keep physical activity alive without caregiver burnout.
