Wellbeing...
"What's this all about?"
Throughout my life, I’ve pretty-much
always enjoyed maintaining - and
trying to improve - my health and
fitness. As a child, I loved playing
outside and riding my bike. I
developed
asthma and hayfever in my
childhood, and by my early twenties I
became determined to manage these
things (and others) without relying on
medication. I also came to appreciate
how good cardiovascular health,
supported by regular cycling and time
outdoors, plays a major role in
keeping me well.
 In
2020, I received a Fitbit as a
Christmas gift. I even started a small
section on this website to share my
experiences with it
[here]. Although I didn’t
maintain that section for long, I
still use the device most
some days - to get a sense of how
active I’ve been, such as through my
daily calorie burn, or, before it
became too unreliable, to wake me
during the optimum part of my
sleep cycle.
The aim of this “Wellbeing” section is
to go beyond fitness alone. For me,
maintaining fitness is really about
maintaining
wellbeing - a balance of physical
health, mental clarity, and general
contentment.
I
hope that sharing my experiences may
be useful or encouraging to others.
I’m not a fitness expert - just
someone learning along the way what
works for me (and what doesn’t).
Revisiting my own progress reminds me
that with consistent effort, we can
all keep moving forward, growing
stronger, and feeling better.
