Getting Back Into Workouts After Being Sick? Start Here

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

If you’ve been knocked down by a cold, virus, or just life lately, I get it. As a mom with kids in school and daycare, I spend most of fall and winter battling whatever germs come home with my kids.

When you're on the mend, the key is easing in. A little gentle strength work can boost your mood, help circulation, and even improve sleep… as long as you’re not pushing too hard, too soon.

Here's my rule of thumb:

  • Okay to move: symptoms above the neck (runny nose, mild sore throat, headache).
  • Skip it for now: symptoms below the neck (fever, body aches, chest congestion, vomiting, hacking cough).

Once you’re feeling up to it, start slow: shorter workouts, lighter intensity, lots of hydration, and no pressure to hit any personal bests. A few days off truly won’t derail your progress.

And when you’re ready to return? I put together the exact gentle strength routine I use after being sick: a simple 20-Minute Full Body Strength Workout that helps me transition back into my normal routine without overdoing it.

My Go-To for Better Immunity

This lemon ginger turmeric tea is my go-to for staying healthy during the fall and winter. It’s packed with immune-boosting ingredients and perfect for soothing sore throats or fighting off colds. Sip on this cozy cup and stay one step ahead of the germs 👇
