Ways to Ease Back into Working Out After a Break
Fitness is meant to be fun and adventurous, not a daily chore or job. Decide what kinds of activities are enjoyable, whether outdoors, at a local fitness center, or at home.

Some days will allow for a quick, 10-minute calorie burner, while others may be up for a full-body 60-minute session. Do what works, and don’t feel guilty if it doesn’t happen some days. If one pushes too hard, too quickly, burnout and, even worse, injury is likely to be the outcome.
