Most of it very easy, a small part very hard, and almost nothing in between.

Micro-habits to get started

Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:

Zone 2 with the talk test

Move at a pace where you can speak in full sentences for 45 minutes.

If you have to break a sentence to breathe, you're going too fast.
45 min
One interval session

Four sets of three to four hard minutes with similar recovery.

One or two a week is enough: adaptation happens in recovery.
25 min
Count the stairs

Notice how many flights you climb without getting winded and how fast you recover.

It's the most honest indicator and improves before any watch figure.
