Hmmm 🤔 Home and have my feet elevated, lying on the sofa.

Just checked my daily Movement data, via #KiActiv, and I've already hit my 60-minute limit for 'Moderate' movement, with all of that walking around the school site today.

I'm meant to be at orchestra rehearsal this evening.

I *feel* fine 🤔

My #KiActiv movement data (via my smartwatch) confirm this careful pacing 👇

Half (31 minutes) of my 'Moderate' movement quota used for the day, so walking home is not an option 🙏

Tough day, but my lessons went well. Had to rest in my PPA time and throughout lunch time. Nothing left in the tank for band rehearsal this evening - so home and in bed by 18:45 🙏

Well-within my #KiActiv movement budgeting for the day and I've used fewer than half of my #Visible Pace Points 🙏

Had a wonderful 7 more minutes on the treadmill and I ran 500 metres for perhaps the first time in my life 😮

I've now reached 45 minutes of 'Moderate' movement today - #KiActiv - plus 4 minutes of SPRINTING ('Vigorous' movement).

Time to do some warm-down stretches and head home 🙏

@benking01.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 12:04 PM

Pre-gym check-in with my #KiActiv movement data for the day so far:

35 minutes of 'Moderate' movement; so around 25 minutes remaining today.

I'll be making the most of my 5-minute treadmill runs at the start and end of my gym session, and I reckon I'll reduce my weight-training today 🙏

An hour of housework and hanging-out clothes to dry (spread over 3 hours) and 25 minutes of (well-paced) gardening has taken my 'Moderate Activity' up towards HALF of my daily limit [ #KiActiv].

But my body was Stable, Ready and Balanced again this Sunday morning 🤔

A careful gym session methinks 🙏

Exceeded my movement limits yesterday (Wednesday) - HT #KiActiv

1 hour and 6 minutes of Moderate movement across the day yesterday
@benking01.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 4:39 PM

Post-gym. Feeling properly elated and energised from the running. Data from my #KiActiv sportswatch show that I've not even used half of today's 60 minutes of 'Moderate' movement, but I did run 'Vigorously' for 1 minute of *both* treadmill sessions 👇

Pretty sure I've not pushed too hard.

2 hours of 'Light' movement today. 25 minutes of 'Moderately' moving around. 2 minutes of running!
@benking01.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 6:42 AM

It was very close (!) but I ended Monday within all of my known 'Budgets' - For movement [ #KiActiv ] and for PacePoints [ #VisibleHealth - Based on Heartrate across the day ] 🙏

Having tried to restrict my 'Moderate' movement today, I just checked-in with my #KiActiv smartwatch data, to find that I've been racing about for 51 minutes so far today.

I find that keeping this figure below 60 minutes per day prevents Parasympathetic Swings and then, in turn, PEM-crashes 🙏

Checking my Before-And-After #KiActiv movement data, it's clear that I Rested for much of the gym session (35 minutes).

29 minutes of Light Movement.

12 minutes of Moderate movement.

1 minute of Vigorous movement.

It gives me great pleasure and keeps me SANE 🙏

... Ideally I'd be Sedentary for 75% of the time each day. My #KiActiv movement data reveal that, since being back at school (teaching) I've been 'Non-Sedentary' - i.e. moving about - in excess of 25% of each day.

I must get this back down below 25%, to give my body the REST that it needs 🤔

A well-paced Friday at work, but another LONG day (on-the-go for 11 hours) which has its consequences on my #LongCovid body.

Exhausted 🙏

Very close to my #KiActiv 'Moderate Movement' daily budget of 60 minutes, so I'll be lying down for the whole evening and overnight.

Ideally...

2pm. All I've managed so far today has centred around cooking enough food for around 7 or 8 meals; not bad, I suppose.

3.5 #VisibleHealth PacePoints used, so I'm more than 7 PP behind my daily pacesetter...

And I've used one-third of my daily 'Moderate' movement quota of 60 minutes - #KiActiv...

So I've checked my #VisibleHealth pacepoints 👇

Only half (12) of today's allocation of pacepoints used so far 👍

But my #KiActiv movement data reveal what my wobbly legs were starting to tell me: I've just exceeded my nominal 60 daily minutes of 'Moderate' movement.

Will go Slow-Mo. this evening!

Goodness me. Running makes me feel AMAZING!

But I restricted myself to 2 minutes in my warm-up and just another 2 minutes of running in my end-of-gym treadmill session.

A cheeky sprint at the end of each one - hence the 2 minutes of 'Vigorous' movement shown on this #KiActiv screenshot 👇

On arrival at the gym:

So far today I've used 40 minutes of my 60-minute daily quota of 'Moderate' movement [ #KiActiv smartwatch accelerometer ].

A reduced series of Flexibility, Strength and Cardio exercises today, I think.

Better to play on the side of caution 🙏

Incredibly I've only used TWO of my 22 daily Visible Health Pace Points and just HALF of my daily budget of 'Moderate Movement' (measured using my #KiActiv smartwatch) 👇

I'm properly sweating!

With a good lie-down for a while, I should still be fine to have a gym visit this afternoon.

So pleased!

Micropacing the gardening.

Another session like this 👇 using my second 20-minute quota of 'Moderate' movement [ #KiActiv ] and then I'll have enough for a gym visit 🙏

Just 42 minutes of 'Moderate' movement today and 2 crazy minutes sprinting on the treadmill.

I try to keep below 60 minutes of Moderate movement each day - according to my #KiActiv smartwatch - as I then avoid PEM symptoms.

Well-within my daily movement limits 😊
