11 Minutes to Fitness: A Midlife Guide to Getting Started

Cat Corchado, movement specialist and seasoned fitness expert is back on the podcast to talk about how fitness can be accessible and empowering for everyone—no matter your age or starting point.

She’s here to talk about her upcoming 11 Minute Fitness Challenge which she’s offering as a free series to help you get started on your fitness goals for the new year. 

I can already hear you asking, “Can 11 minutes of exercise really make a difference?” Good question!   

11 Minutes to Change Your Life: Starting Small When Exercise Feels Impossible

If you've spent a lifetime avoiding exercise or feeling like every attempt to get fit ends in failure, you're not alone. Many of us have struggled to make exercise a consistent part of our lives, especially as we hit midlife and beyond. But what if getting started didn’t have to feel overwhelming? What if all it took was 11 minutes a day to begin transforming your health and fitness?

Why 11 Minutes?

You might be thinking, "How could 11 minutes possibly make a difference?" It turns out, it’s not about the length of time—it’s about building momentum.

Getting Past a Lifetime of "Failures"

Many of us have internalized a narrative that we’re just not "fitness people." Maybe you’ve tried gym memberships, workout programs, or strict regimens, only to feel defeated when life got in the way. Here’s the truth: None of those past attempts were failures. They were experiments—steps on your journey to finding what works for you.

Starting with just 11 minutes a day removes the pressure to be perfect. It’s not about getting it "right" but about showing up for yourself in a way that feels manageable.

Listen in to hear Cat’s inspiration for this challenge and how even small, consistent steps can lead to big changes.
