Getting back some fitness after Covid?

Rejoining the way of exercise after passig through COVID 19?

Who has done this ? Wife and I recently contracted and successfully used antivirals to beat back Covid 19. We got a clearance to go outside and start needed shopping again.

Usually I do the shopping, pushing a well-filled Costco shopping card over the acreage of outlocal store Usually it's a good push for an hour or so, moving at a reasonable walking pace. Yesterday, first time in any exercise since being declared non-contagious, it was a labor to push it through the store - definitely a loss of fitness.

My plan is to restart rather slowly. Today's step was to go out to our beautiful Metropark and walk out for 30 minutes and back for the same. That went quit well, but we are resting after it. We'll probably do a similar walk tomorrow, but in-town and maybe 20 minutes longer each direction - 40-minutes out and 40 minutes back.

Anybody in a similar situation? How are you folks approaching it?
