Gradual Return to Exercise
After complete recovery—pain-free for more than a week—resuming exercise requires a gradual approach. Rebuilding muscle strength and endurance is crucial, and rushing this process risks re-injury. Plan to invest approximately three weeks of consistent exercise to regain your pre-injury fitness level safely.
In conclusion, a proactive approach to injury prevention involves a combination of proper warm-up and cool-down routines, gradual progression, varied workouts, and attentive listening to your body’s signals. Should injuries occur, prompt and appropriate care, coupled with a sensible return to exercise, ensures a sustainable and injury-free fitness journey.
