It's very easy to fall into the mindset that if you're not cursing your way through a challenging workout or dripping in sweat by the end of it, then you haven't done enough. But the truth is, that's a bunch of nonsense and I can vouch for this. I recently ditched my usual morning run for 10 minutes of low-intensity bodyweight exercise and felt great for it.
While I am in the process of having some medical tests done on my heart, I've been advised to take it easy in the exercise department. This has meant I've been spending a lot less time in the best running shoes and a lot more time practicing low-intensity exercise on my yoga mat at home.
