Denville NJ #1 Personal Training Program

I had covid 19 few months ago, and like most people; “I had to be in bed for days, coughing, and taken long breaks that were boring and exhausting. After I started to feel better, I jumped into my basement grab my fitness equipment, and started to workout. To my surprise my body had a setback and weaken up quickly. For the next couple days the coughing came back and the chills and headaches took over my body again. I felt like I was inside a freezer. I thought I wrote some of my experiences here, getting back on the fitness wagon after covid 19, so hopefully some of you can take the proper measures before going fully into your fitness routine. So here are some points you should consider before going back:

#1 Don’t assume: check with your Doctor

Resuming physical activity after covid 19 has an extra layer of complexity, because of the potential of complications, such as myocardytis “according to the American Journal of cadiology” (inflamation of the heart muscle). For those individuals known as long haulers, who experienced prolong symptoms of the virus, ‘like in my case. The Stanford health of medicine department suggests to take it slow after covid 19, adding that no matter your age or fitness level, its a good idea to discuss any physical activity with your doctor and proceed with caution.

#2Returning to exercise should be individualize

Sports medicine physicians at hospital for special surgery in New York City, issue reccomendations for recreational athletes, returning to physical activity after being infected with covid 19. The list of considerations and reccomendations was published in the HSS Journal the authors note that each patient with covid 19, is unique and like ‘in my case, there is a wide variance of how each person, experiences the virus, the guideliness also note that each person recover from covid 19, at a unique rate, and there is currently no algorithm to determine exactly how and when, an individual should return to activity. It makes to anyone even with mild symptoms to connect with their health care provider.

#3 Don’t exercise if you still have symptoms of covid 19

My best and #1 lesson was not to exercise while still had sytmptoms of covid 19, As a licensed trainer and nutritionist, I reccomend that people wait for 7 to 10 days until they are symtoms free.

It’s never good to exercise when you sick or symptomatic with an active infection, if you exercise with an active viral infection, that may cause the infection to get worse, which could lead to additional complications.

#4 Start slow and gradually increase the intensity

How you should start exercising after covid 19, depends on what level of activity you were doing before. For some people, they want tpo start off with some walking program and gradually build up your walking tolerance, once you’ve done that over a couple week period, then you could add more intense cardio, but no too intense, just so your heart rate is going a little more than it was with walking.

Conclusion

Use these guidelines to get back to your exercise regimen safely, after covid 19. Please consult with your Doctor, start slow, and if I may add something else I did; that help a lot and will refer to, in a whole new article next is: PRACTICE BREATHING TECHNIQUES AND use eucalyptus steam inhale!
