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?
last month I joined the ever popular covid team too. Your plan of taking things slowly is the right approach. After around seven days after a negative test I took things slowly. A couple days of walking and then back on the bike worked for me. I started cycling with easy rides for a couple of days increasing my mileage and efforts gradually. Take care
