This invites members to share experiences and insights, but always remind participants there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
Craft prompts focused on attainable goals, e.g., 'Would you rather aim for 10,000 steps a day or 30 minutes of exercise?' Use these posts to foster conversations about personalizing fitness objectives, overcoming plateaus, and balancing ambition with sustainability.
