Exercise Routine for Athletes During the COVID-19 Pandemic
To our athletes — what to know about exercise routines right now:
- Take it easy! If you are switching from your normal exercise routine to something entirely new, be cautious of overdoing it. Especially if your new workouts require a lot of running, jumping, or heavy lifting.
- Don’t rush! If you are beginning a new home program, start slow and increase as your body responds.
- Limber up! Keep up the stretching, foam rolling and cooling down after a workout.
- Walking is great exercise! Don’t be afraid to hit the roads/paths/nature trails (while maintaining social distancing).
- Have fun! While annoying, the silver lining is that switching up your normal routine can lead to fun new hobbies or workouts.
