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:
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.
