As a mum of three young kids and someone who regularly visits the gym, I was convinced my activity levels were more than sufficient. But there were two huge parts of my day I was ignoring from an activity point-of-view – work and sleep.
The latter is obviously vital rest, but when it comes to work days, I spend a minimum of eight hours sat at a desk (with probably not the best posture), standing only for a quick coffee or loo break. And I was becoming acutely aware - thank you sciatica - of just how little I was moving my body over long periods of time. Inspired by the benefits of walking, and knowing it what it can do to help reactivate and stimulate your brain after sedentary periods, I started tracking my activity with my Apple Watch.
