Sometimes the smartest move in fitness isn’t pushing harder—it’s pulling back. In this episode of Canine Handler Fitness, I’m talking about Get Going Gently—how to start smart when life, injury, or health conditions demand a slower pace.

You’ll learn:

• When it’s essential to go gently: post-op, post-injury, illness, or stressful life changes

• How to approach training safely with chronic conditions like CFS, hypermobility, autoimmune flares, or fibromyalgia

• The 60–80% rule: how staying just below your threshold builds strength, endurance, and resilience

• How gentle isn’t the finish line—it’s the launch pad for bigger gains

Whether you’re easing back into fitness or learning to pace yourself strategically, this episode gives you the guidance and encouragement to take that first step today, then progress safely toward your strongest self.
