Bouncing Back Post COVID

Bouncing Back Post COVID

While we are still in the grip of this devastating pandemic, it is of paramount importance to devise sustainable strategies to safely restart working out and continue our journeys toward our wellness goals. In order to do that, one must first conduct thorough self-assessments to identify any lingering symptoms of COVID-19 that may hamper one’s progress. Therefore, I strongly recommended that one consults a general practitioner before starting any workout programmes. If you recently recovered from COVID-19, please practice pulmonary rehabilitation exercises such as breathing and muscle-strengthening exercises to improve lung function and regain stamina. On the other hand, if you are currently recovering from COVID-19, you may walk for 5/10 minutes, 5/3 times a day in order to improve your overall conditioning. If you have already started exercising, please monitor your oxygen level and heart rate before, during, and after working out. If your SpO2 (oxygen saturation) dips below 88% at any time, please stop exercising and rest.

Having mulled over the fundamentals, we will now discuss some of the most effective measures to safely restart running and strength training routines.
