Actually i feel weaker compared to the state of before being sick, so i start from the beginning, slowly, so i get my power back in time.
Start small and remember that the routine is more important than the intensity. You can always build up the intensity as you recover. Make sure you stretch muscles that you haven’t been using. This increases blood flow and energy supply in the muscles, increases flexibility, and prevents injury. A gentle walk in nature would be beneficial to the mind and the body.
I literally just experienced this. I was sick for 5 days, it was terrible and I fell off all of my new habits and routines. Honestly I am still working on getting back up to speed. But so far these things have been helpful: 1) Having self acceptance for where I am at. Not getting down on myself for falling out of my routines. 2) Found success in even the tiny attempts to stay on track, even if the habit of routine wasn’t up to my standard. I rewarded myself for at least trying. 3) I took a day off after recovering from being sick. I allowed a full day to take my time getting back on track. I didn’t go back to work, but I did work on my habits & routines and paced myself. So far all this has greatly helped!
I just do it, because I never really skip exercise when I’m just a bit sick. If I’m really sick, I lower my pace in the exercises I do to give my body the opportunity to not over pace.
After being sick I go for some easy and low intensity exercises for example a very short jog or just a dance to your favourite song
Get back to it once you feel well enough. Do not force anything. When you are ready, you will know. Always honor yourself and that will work in the long run. Once you get back into your routine, go HARD!
I have friends to exercise with, that way I am held accountable. Accountability is the key to success in dieting and exercise.
I’m starting like that’s my first training and then try to exercise regularly, after a week or two I’m getting back to the weights I’m used to
Start small after you have recovered. Because when you have been sick the body ustilises the nutrients. When you begin small steps towards your big goal. It makes you feel better and not overloaded
Start back with short workouts maybe twice a day until you’re ready to get back to your normal workout. And change up your workouts. YouTube is a great place to find shirt intense or less intense workouts.
