How to get back to your workout routine after recovering from corona?

when it comes to getting back to your workout routine after recovering from covid 19, any injury or illness, its vital to take important steps to ease your way back into the fitness world such as listening to your doctor, follow proper instruction, and taking the required medicine. first things first, you have to make sure your body is competent enough to take on the physical strain from training you will do, so first make sure, you consult your doctor before doing any hard movement, otherwise it could result in an even worse injury or relapse. Especially after recovering from covid 19 is on its own another complex situation for any individual. Dr Michael. Frederickson at Stanford medicine has said that any person who are restarting their physical exercise could suffer from numerous complication such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). So it is a good idea to have a discussion with your physician before putting any physical exertion on the body. According to the research, each individual has a unique recovery rate from covid, and there is no exact way to determine exactly how and when an individual should return to their workout. According to HSS journal paper, there are certain guidelines or precautions you can take

1. If you’re a patient of covid and you are having persistent feverish, also breathing problems then immediately call off your exercise and consult your doctor.

2. If you’re asymptomatic during the first seven days after being tested positive may begin resuming their exercise but slowly and with minimal intensity.

3. If you’re someone with chest pain, fever, heart burns then its especially vital for you to be in continuous contact with your doctor.

When you do begin to resume your training regiment, here are some tips

1. If you still have some symptoms of covid 19, do not exercise. Wait 10 to 12 days, before working until your symptoms minimizes or go away. Because if you an active viral infection and you are continuing to work out, this can lead the infection to be more worse which could result to further complications. all of this is stated by James N. Robinson, MD who is sports medicine doctor at HSS in NY city.

2. Slowly build up the intensity of the training regimen. The best to do to start any physical activity is through walking and slowly accumulate your tolerance for walking. Once you start getting used to it, then you can further intensify your cardio, but with caution and care. If you are into cardio training then the best thing would be to start on a elliptical machine or swimming as recommended by dr. Frederickson. And then slowly up your intensity as time passes, and if you feel good and not feeling discomfort then you can go back to your daily routine workout.

3. People who have existing heart issues should pay more attention to their bodies. If you’re not careful when exercising, it could lead your heart to have irregular heartbeats and according to recent research and published papers, the calculated rate of myocarditis was between 1.3 and 7.1%. So you need to be extremely careful when exercising.

What should people with prolonged corona symptoms do when returning to their training regime.

It’s going to be very different for these type of people. According to a study, it’s been stated even if they are exercising, people feel more extensive tiredness with normal activities, get headaches a lot and feeling short of breath such as walking up and down the stairs. If you’re someone with these prolonged symptoms, it’s going to take a while for you to get better, and you shouldn’t definitely try to get back to exercising if you’re feeling this way. You should only return to your training after you’re completely symptom free and of course after consultation with your doctor.

How to workout around an injury?

-
It can happen to the most experienced of people. We work as hard as we can, pushing our bodies to their limits, and those persistent pain and discomfort always turn into an injury. What should you do? Most of us will certainly want to "tough it out" and keep working out, but what are the risks of not allowing an injury to heal properly. It's OK to exercise through discomfort, but it's never all right to train through a severe injury, as I've learned through the years. So, if you've been hurt, you need to take care of it straight away before it becomes a recurring problem or worsens. Weightlifting is a physically demanding sport.
