Sometimes (like today) I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, but will be unable to sleep after. If I wake up at 4 or 5 am I usually just continue with my usual routine of exercising at 630, but today I woke up at 230 and couldn’t sleep since because of an ache near my right hip and tautness in the right foot (maybe sciatica?). I don’t feel particularly tired, but I sense I’ll probably get a headache in the afternoon regardless of whether I manage to sleep again (usually happens after a night with interrupted sleep)
It depends on where you’re at with fitness and health in general. Prioritize being well regardless of feedback here. That includes adequate rest, nutrition, hydration, etc.
For most folks, consistency is by far the most important factor. Stick to a schedule that works for you and do what you can. Maybe set up something like this:
“the goal”: what you’d like to be able to do
“the bar”: the minimum that qualifies as a workout for you
Maybe you don’t crush the goal every time, but clearing the bar will go a very long way. Make it accessible! Maybe the goal is a 30 minute run and the bar is a 15 minute walk, for example.
That’s a great idea. It’s important to be kind to oneself.
