You’re finally sticking to your New Year’s resolution to exercise regularly when you become sidelined by Covid-19.
Or maybe you’re a seasoned fitness buff training for a marathon, then have to hit pause due to a nasty bout with respiratory syncytial virus or influenza.
No matter the scenario, the big question is how to safely reboot your fitness regimen once you have recovered.
If you had a simple head cold or 24-hour stomach flu bug, there is not too much to be concerned about.
But Covid, RSV and influenza are more serious maladies that require a thoughtful approach to resuming exercise.
That’s because the three are viral infections, which tend to cause whole-body inflammation.
This is according to Dr. R.J. Turner, a primary care and sports medicine physician with UTHealth, Houston. (CNN)
So, be careful!
