Hi all!
I need some help on how to get back into exercising after being ill with covid, and what to expect during recovery.
I got sick on 10th January and was completely down until 17th. Mild symptoms, luckily - low fever, runny nose (blood came out, too), headache and exhaustion like I've never felt before. Up until 24th I was kinda sick but recovering. Still pretty exhausted and with a mild runny nose. Trained 3 times during the second week, everything required a bit more energy but it was ok. And up until now, I'm kinda ok but exercising is really hard and exhausting. I tried cardio because I don't have a pull up bar in my apartment, but after some time my chest started burning. Usually, I'm able to bounce back really quick, but not this time.
Can anyone offer advice on this? Is this normal to feel like you can't do anything anymore? And is it normal that my strength plummeted like a rock? How long until the exhaustion wears off and I feel like myself again? Or is this here to stay and do I have to grind through it? And when and how can I start exercising more intensely again?
