<![CDATA[Low physical activity remains a public health problem, including in rural areas, where household chores are often considered a sufficient substitute for exercise. This community service aimed to describe the implementation of group morning exercise as a community empowerment effort and its role in encouraging healthy living behavior among women in Buluh Duri Village, Sipispis District. The activity was carried out during a 10-day community service period (11–20 June 2026), with morning exercise held at 07.00 a.m. for three days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The methods included brief health counseling, group exercise training, and participatory discussion and reflection over three sessions, with evaluation through observation, informal conversations, and documentation. The results show that the activity proceeded in three stages (preparation, implementation, and reflection), the women participated actively, new awareness about the importance of regular movement emerged, and the exercise became a social space that strengthened togetherness. Constraints included limited time in the morning, simple supporting equipment, and the short program duration. Group morning exercise can be an inexpensive, accessible, and participatory empowerment medium, but its sustainability depends on local drivers and village government support.]]>
