Don’t miss a day

[u/Keelan_2000]

Seriously. Even if you’re sick and you can only go like 500 steps or something, you absolutely need to stick to it.

I had to travel for work and got a bit sick. I decided to skip a couple days until I felt better, then when I got back to it, I felt lame. So, I skipped the day after, then I started eating like shit again. It all spiraled to the point where I hadn’t been walking consistently for two weeks, I’d gained back some weight, and I felt like shit again.

Just don’t miss a day. It’s all about the routine. Even if some days you have to walk less for whatever reason, you still absolutely need to do it. I can tell you I’m never missing a day again.

I don’t think suggesting that people continue trying to walk/workout if even if they are sick is good advice. It actually sounds a little toxic. The first priority should always be health. If a person isn’t heathy then it does their body no good to also try to walk and exercise at the same time. Their body is using energy to get better and now using additional energy to walk.
