The sun provides a great analogy of something good, until you get too much of it!
A little bit of sun regularly is generally a good thing.
For example, 20 minutes a day can help with Vitamin D, energy levels, and overall wellbeing...
All good.
But get too much sun, too quickly, your body is not ready for it, resulting in sunburn, soreness and other negative symptoms.
Your body responds to physical activity in a very similar way.
Small, regular amounts of movement or exercise help your body adapt, build tolerance, and become stronger over time.
But a sudden “spike” in activity, can cause overload, and lead to flare-ups of pain.
The aim with any activity, be it running, walking or the gym, is to build exposure gradually and consistently.
Think...
Steady progress rather than big spikes.
Consistency over intensity.
Building tolerance, not testing your limits every session!
If you have any questions about pacing your training or how to progress your exercise safely, please feel free to get in touch.
Hope this helps!
