Fitness enthusiasts eager to resume their workouts after recovering from COVID-19 are finding it difficult to gauge when to begin and how much to do. In a recent social media post, actor Katrina Kaif shared that she was learning to be patient with herself. She mentioned that while there are good days, there are also those when she feels completely exhausted. “While infected, do not engage in any physical activity and focus only on rest, good hydration and proper nutrition. When you get back to exercise is determined by the severity of your infection. At the bare minimum, you should rest for 10 days following a positive diagnosis, even if you are asymptomatic. For more severe cases, you should consult your doctor before restarting your regimen,” explains Dr Salaah Qureshi, MD at Qure Clinic.
