Pacing

Avoid boom-bust cycles of overactivity on good days and inactivity on bad days; set small goals and increase activity gradually in baby steps. Example: if you can walk one block comfortably, walk that block; the next day add about 50 feet, then another 50 feet. Even on good days, do not greatly exceed the plan; set thresholds by time or distance. On bad days, some rest may be needed, but restart the next day where you were.
