I am looking to be more consistent in physical activities since i find myself dealing with a lot of depressive and intrusive thoughts these days. Activities always helped.
Although, i struggle to stick to a plan. This is my second day off today because i just feel exhausted , even if i wanted to do some causal indoor bike training. I do manage to get 2 x 1h cross training classes per week, sometime 1x30 min swim and sometime 1x30 min bike, and sometime some running.
I’d like to get some exercise everyday, but it’s hard to manage recovery and not going into excess, while still being consistent.
Not every day is easy. You really need to listen to your body and do what you can do (sometimes rest is what is needed and there is no shame in that).
We do have a few challenges going in with just a few movements each day that helps feel like you got moving and sometimes can lead to a deeper workout. Link below if you are interested in checking it out.
Find somethings you love doing and layout a plan to follow. A set routine helps me stay focused and in track. Seems like you do manage a lot already per week. Join us here and share your daily movements

Additionally I took a little walk for lunch break everyday. Ate quite good and balanced. Yesterday I ordered Thai food, learning, it was much too late, I was already hungry for 4 hours before.
Did predominately legs at gym this afternoon. Then after tea, went for a 9km bike ride, what was I thinking? Will probably be walking like Bambi on Wednesday.
to search for previous challenges (last few years we did have one for every month).
