Making the Effort

One of the bad habits I had slipped into in the past years, was not making enough effort to keep my body in a decent shape. With work taking up more and more of my time - getting up at 5am and not home until after 7pm most days - there did not seem any time to keep in shape. However the severity of how hard the sciatica / piriformis hit me - has made me realise what a bad mistake this was.

I now really try to make an effort to do something each week. So this weekend it has been a 25minute run and stretching. When I am away on business I am now always packing shorts so I can use the gym or pool - even if it is just for 30minutes. Have a swim, sauna rather than a heavy meal and drink.
