Illness hits Marie's keep-fit schedule

As traditional as the turning of the leaves, so comes the annual autumnal bouts of illness. All health experts advise that we should listen to our bodies and if we're not feeling well then we should avoid exercise or limit ourselves to some easy sessions. 


Of course, this doesn't mean you should excuse yourself from keeping fit when you feel a bit lethargic, or you simply can't be bothered. We're talking here about colds, chesty coughs and flu-like symptoms.


Illness has hampered Marie's keep-fit programme. At the start of the week her young daughter Livi was unwell. As a mum you don't like to leave your children for too long - or at all - when they are under the weather. Then Marie herself came down with the bug. So the total exercise for Marie this week has been a couple of easy 5k runs - which she managed before becoming ill.


For now she's giving herself some rest and recovery time and hopes to be back following the ThinqFitness on-line exercise videos as soon as she feels better. We'll be keeping you posted.
