This is a workout system that I came up with and thought about a year ago; it’s so lazy and easy that even I don’t work out or worry too much to be strict and super disciplined about it, and it’s working out well for me so far.

What is DWMA? (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annually)

The acronym stands for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Annually; the idea is simply that you choose only one exercise or activity for each timeline.

The DWMA Framework: A Sustainable Fitness Roadmap

Daily (The Foundation):

You choose only one “low-friction” activity that can be done and is accessible while wearing your normal everyday clothes, with no need to buy some specialized expensive sneakers or go to a specific area, like walking to the supermarket or even cleaning your house; the secret is to concentrate on the movement, posture, and breathing to get the maximum benefits with minimum effort.

Weekly (The Rhythm):

To me this is the most important of the four; it’s where the “real work” happens; it’s basically “the anchor workout,” but you don’t need to worry about it that much, nor do you need any type of special preparation; personally, I lift dumbbells at home, wearing pajamas or underwear. Oh, and I don’t spend a lot of time here either, 15 minutes max.

Monthly (The Reset):

From here it’s not really that important, but I think it’s a nice thing to have a “monthly recovery and reset” activity and a chance to spoil yourself (in whatever way you like). I chose swimming and the spa (it could be something else for you).

Annually (The Milestone):

The least important, definitely don’t need it, but breaking a year-long routine with something to do annually, or once in a lifetime (an adventure or a “bucket list” item), is definitely a thing we all would love to do; for example:

• Hiking in far-off places.
• Traditional Archery (a personal favorite).
• Equestrian riding lessons & activities.
• Yacht trips for fishing.

The “Invisible” Habits: Maximizing Your Results with Zero Effort

While you are following this very simple program, you can (for maximum benefit) change some little tiny life habits, like the following:

• Parking your car far away when you go to the mall or hypermarket.
• Walking to and from the mosque instead of driving the car.
• Use stairs instead of elevators if it’s a floor or two only (and you are not sick or tired).

The “No-Diet” Diet: Keeping It Real

As for diet, I will not talk about it, because I don’t follow any; besides, I’m not a health professional or a dietitian. DWMA is just a simple (and lazy) workout system that I came up with and thought of sharing with the world; maybe it can help or inspire someone out there to live better, I don’t know.

Just Live and Let… Live: The Busy People’s Conclusion

I was looking for sustainable fitness for busy people, and I had to create my own in the end. Maybe you can take this easy, super lazy, and (hopefully) effective fitness system, then adjust and make it yours; again, it’s not a big deal. I just hope it works for you and for everyone.
