The post Had the COVID-19 Vaccine? Here’s Why You Should Still Be Cautious Returning to the Gym appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Gyms have been linked to outbreaks of COVID-19 and they’re risky if they don’t have social distancing rules and strict mask requirements in place. While the risk of getting COVID is less if you’re vaccinated, a lot of the population hasn’t been vaccinated yet and you can still be a carrier. There’s also a small risk you could get infected. Gyms will be safer once herd immunity is reached, which experts believe won’t happen until at least 70 percent of the population is vaccinated.
If you decide to return to the gym, wait until you’re fully vaccinated. Make sure you review your gym’s policies regarding social distancing, mask-wearing, and ventilation before you decide if you want to head back. If you go to the gym and you see the guidelines aren’t being followed, it may be best to return when it’s safer.

]]>In general, it’s safe to work out after recovering from COVID, but you do need to take some precautions before you just jump back into it. Here’s what you should know about exercising after recovering.
This really depends on your symptoms, so you should consult with a doctor before just heading straight into working out. Most doctors recommend waiting at least a week after your symptoms have improved, but if you experience more significant symptoms, you may have to wait closer to two to three weeks.
Even if you’re asymptomatic or had mild symptoms, you should wait at least ten days to work out after you’ve tested positive. When you do decide to start exercising, be patient with your body, and don’t push yourself too hard.
How you work out once you’re cleared to by your doctor will depend on your current symptoms and your fitness level before getting diagnosed. It’s best to start at a lower level of exertion than you normally would and to work out for a shorter period of time. Over time, you can increase the intensity and duration.
