It’s important to take your time before getting back into exercise after recovering from COVID-19.

Rushing back into exercise and activities may increase your chances of making any lingering symptoms worse, or even developing long COVID.

We recommend approaching it gradually, in 5 stages:

1. Prepare to return to exercise.
Begin with activities that feel easy and do not make you feel short of breath, such as gentle walking, controlled breathing exercises, balance and stretching exercises.

2. Low-intensity activity.
Try activities such as walking and light household tasks. You should be able to breathe easily and have a conversation while doing them.

3. Moderate intensity activity.
Enjoy exercise that makes you breathe heavily, such as brisk walking, jogging and resistance exercises.

4. Moderate intensity exercises.
Move onto exercise that makes you feel short of breath, such as running, cycling, and swimming.

5. Return to your previous exercises.
Try getting back to doing all the activities you were able to do before testing positive for COVID-19.

➡️ Important tips:
• Take it slow! Stay at each stage for a minimum of 7 days before moving on.

• Know your limits: If you find any of the exercises difficult, move back a stage until you feel ready to progress.

• Stop exercising and seek support from a healthcare professional if any of your symptoms come back, or if any activities cause discomfort such as: chest pain, feeling faint, nausea, dizziness or feeling lightheaded.

If you have any questions or concerns about your health or exercise plans, please seek advice from a health professional.

🤸Hawkes Bay Half Marathon- 2hr23min

Finished my first event run since having my son. It was certainly challenging and there are some sore muscles today but I am so glad that I did it!

It can be really tough getting back into exercise after having children but it's good to still make time for yourself and just as important to make goals for yourself too.
