Finding Your Level

Time to find your personal half-capacity level through practice.

The Experiment

Do your chosen movement at clearly below your capacity. Be conservative. Err on the side of too easy.

Watch for the half-capacity signs:

• Light sweat
• Breathing elevated but conversational
• Could definitely do more
• No strain or stress

Track your response at multiple time points:

• Immediately after: How do you feel?
• 2 hours after: Energy up, same, or down?
• Next morning: How did you sleep? How do you feel waking?

This multi-point tracking reveals the true cost or benefit of the movement session.

What You’re Looking For

The right level leaves you:

• Same or better energy immediately after
• Same or better energy 2 hours later
• Normal or better sleep
• Fresh the next day, ready to move again

If any of these are worse - especially next-day energy or sleep - you went too hard. Scale back.

Today’s Practice

Do your chosen movement at clearly below your capacity. 10-15 minutes is enough.

For walking: a 15-minute easy walk. Not power-walking. Just walking.

Note:

• Duration/distance:
• How you feel immediately after:
• (Later) How you feel 2 hours later:
• (Tomorrow) How you slept, how you feel waking:
