]]>Regardless of how long you’ve been on hiatus, it can be tempting to jump right back into the same routine you were in before. The problem with this is it’s the equivalent of doing a workout without properly warming up. If you put too much pressure on your body too quickly, you run the risk of burnout or injury.
The best place to begin is by doing exercises that focus on improving your joint mobility and flexibility as this will increase blood flow and circulation. These workouts will also reduce the risk of injuring yourself, so incorporate a few into your weekly routine. Yoga may be a good idea.
If you’d like to integrate some cardio, the key is to keep it light. A 20-minute walk, gentle jog, or bike ride are excellent places to start. A low-impact HIIT workout could also be an option. Just be mindful not to overdo it.

]]>We know it’s hard to be patient, but don’t even think about getting back into working out until all of your symptoms, including fever, fatigue, and shortness of breath, are gone for at least a week.
COVID really does a number on the body, so don’t be surprised when even light workouts like going on a walk feel really, really hard. Don’t worry. Stay consistent with those light workouts until they feel okay and then slowly ramp up the intensity until you get back to where you were before. Yes, it will take time, but that’s okay.
There are still a lot of unknowns about the long-term effects of COVID, so be extra careful when you’re exercising during recovery. If you feel anything weird, especially in your heartbeat, talk to a doctor.
