I am currently happy with my morning exercise regime. I do 20 minutes of warm up, physio for my knee and back and HIT to get may heart rate up. Am I getting any advantage from doing it every day? I simply don't know and while professional advise has been to ease off, I am trying to keep to a target of 6000 steps and 60 minutes with 20 minutes of increased heart rate exercise. On top of that I am normally covering an extra 2000 steps of activity, and over the whole week I still manage on average to achieve the old target of 10k steps a day. The problem today is that achieving 150 minutes of higher heart rate activity is getting more and more difficult and while the physio is keeping my right knee mobile and has stopped the problems with my back, any attempt to increase my effort DOES cause my body to complain. Just what level do I need to keep up to maintain a comfortable daily balance.
