Tips for Returning to Exercise after Covid

We're recovering from a bout of covid. It's a nasty virus that's for sure! So, whilst recovering it's good to remember a few tips: 

1. Rest first - we spent two weeks resting before we started to get back to exercise! Sometimes rest is the best thing you can do after a nasty virus hits!
2. When you are ready to return to exercise set a time limit, so you aren't tempted to overdo it! Today we decided to go cycling and we chose 20 mins around our neighbourhood as a good goal. 
3. Walking is a great way to ease back into exercise! Take a walk each day, adding some time as you feel able. Walking allows you to gauge your level of recovery and adjust easily. 
4. Don't push too hard! If you overdo it you could wind up feeling awful, so just slowly resume regular activities over a a few weeks (or even months depending on your individual needs).

Walking and cycling are our focus right now and we're hoping to get back to golf next week if the weather cooperates, but it's all a much easier regimen than we're used to.
