I would do a little bit each day.

You want to keep your body in motion. It doesn’t meet exert yourself.

But your husband is right in a small routine, ritual like with your dogs. You don’t want to cross over into lack of movement/joy which can bring on depressive like symptoms which is then hard to distinguish between real malaise and overall lack of body engagement.

This is why even after surgeries they encourage people to still be getting up and moving. Not so much for exercise but to keep depressive feelings away.
