Fit and Fine by Kamal Singh CSCS: Post Covid fitness

If you’re thinking about getting back to working out after recovering from Covid, start slow, but only after your doctor approves

We have gone through a terrible second wave. This time the virus seemed to attack with greater ferocity. Thankfully the numbers are going down and cities have started opening up slowly. People who have been lucky enough to not get infected, can go back to their fitness routines, though they need to start slowly, ramping up intensity over the next few weeks. But if you have had the virus and now have been cleared by your physician to start exercising, then this column is for you. Please remember your physician’s directions OVERRIDE anything that I suggest in this column.
