Over the last six months, I’ve completely fallen out of my exercise routine. I’ve gone from lifting weights a few times a week, plus doing Pilates and yoga classes, to squeezing in one or two workouts a week, if that.
The other thing I’ve been struggling to fit in is walking. I've been walking at least 8,000 steps per day for about five years and I think it’s one of the things that has helped keep me fit, healthy and happy. But over the past few months, I've struggled to hit a daily total of 5,000.
I’ve been trying to get back to working out five times a week and hitting at least 8,000 steps per day, but combined with a busy work and social life, it’s become increasingly overwhelming. My fitness goals were too ambitious.
