I tried out slowing down to a more steady pace today, ended up doing my 20 minutes without a break! (other than stopping briefly to drink some water) I'm already noticing differences since I started, the first few days my core was pretty sore but now that's gone completely!
That’s a wise move, no need to take on extra risk. People are distracted by all kinds of crazy stuff going on in the world these days and unfortunately that applies while they’re driving massive vehicles around cramped streets too. Be safe, enjoy your newer, fitter body, and have fun looking back on these great decisions in 10 years’ time when you’re feelin’ fine!
