"You'll be more tired after another hour of scrolling. Go."
Tired and a 20-minute jog don't cancel each other out. They cancel each other in. Easy effort, low heart rate, your nervous system thanks you within ten minutes.
- Cap pace at conversational. If you can't talk, slow down.
- Eight-minute warm-up walk if you really need it.
- Coffee before, water after, eat after that.
FAQ

How slow is too slow?
There is no too slow. A jog faster than a walk is a jog. That counts.
