Your assertion that "a lot of young people" are having heart attacks and strokes from covid is not supported by actual data. A lot of fat, unvaccinated, 60 yr old veterans are having heart attacks.

Listen to your body and always good advice.

It goes without saying, no group exercise if you have any symptoms of covid. Even if you think it’s “just allergies”. Get tested or stay home. We just had an outbreak at the yoga studio where I teach. No one needed that.


I'd say - if you feel sick and test negative, wear a mask and don't do to a group class. I've found that people test negative in the early days of the infection, but are still contagious. Many examples of this in my own circle of friends/family

Just take it slow. I found I lost probably 5-10% of my running fitness. But I also took a total of almost a month of. I ran a 5K distance on Friday at a slowish 29 minute pace and my heart rate was much higher than I would have expected. Also super stressed with work. Otherwise good. Had covid over New Years

I walked when i felt good enough during the 10 days. I slowly came back to running although at this point, i'm doing an indoor bike and strength training. Just take it easy for the two weeks after the 10 days.

I had a bad bad cold that tested negative but was possibly Omicron, based on timing and symptoms, and I got back to exercising maybe 8 days after symptom onset? Whenever I felt better enough to run.
