Winter has certainly made its presence felt! ❄️
I’ve just recovered from a nasty bout of the flu. I had a chesty cough and head cold, my training took a real hit.
Instead of pushing through, I listened to my body. I rested, stretched, prioritised sleep, and slowly fought it off.
My key takeaways:
💙 Listen to your body.
💙 Prioritise rest and quality sleep.
💙 See your GP if you’re unwell or your symptoms persist.
When you’re ready to get back into training:
✔️ Start slowly.
✔️ Keep an eye on your heart rate.
✔️ Stay well hydrated.
✔️ Take longer rests between sets and exercises.
✔️ Most importantly… be kind to yourself.
Remember, fitness isn’t about never taking a break—it’s about knowing when your body needs one.
Recovery is part of the process and sometimes the strongest thing you can do is rest.
Stay warm, stay healthy, and take care of yourselves this winter. 💪❄️
