Are you getting enough exercise?

The National Physical Activity Guidelines recommend that you get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week and for extra health benefits you partake in some vigorous activity as well.

30 minutes is your baseline hopefully you are working towards bumping this up to 50-60 minutes . But sometimes things pop up that are unavoidable such as: a child needs to be taken to the doctor, you get a deadline brought forward at work, or one of your friends want to catch up for a coffee and chat.

These are ‘time pinchers’ that can pinch away your precious training time. To counteract these you can make up for it the next day by going a little longer or doing a morning and afternoon session. Try not to stress if you do lose a session here or there and most importantly ensure that you never go more than two consecutive days without some form of exercise.
