How to safely resume your exercise routine after recovering from COVID-19

ABC  

Getting moving again after recovering from COVID-19 is no walk in the park for some people and experts warn that pushing yourself too hard, too soon, can be detrimental to your recovery. "Things I'd be looking out for — abnormal levels of fatigue or exhaustion, breathlessness, racing heart, dizziness, cough … any increased signs of symptoms or new symptoms," Dr Parry says. Research is still evolving but, Dr Parry says, it is critical to minimise something called "post-exertion symptom exacerbation", which could cause prolonged symptoms, commonly referred to as "long COVID". "If you trained five days a week, just try getting up to twice a week for a while and, remember, some people might not get back to their normal routine … everyone's different," Mr Hunt says. "If you are lying down and feeling like you have no energy, if you just get up and move a little bit … reach down and touch your toes, or any sort of mobility moves, even just five minutes of a yoga flow, you will feel so much better," Mr Hunt says.
