#131 - Returning to training after being sick with Craig McDonald
Craig, my other half and co-founder of NuStrength, and I jumped on for a quick episode to chat about getting back to training after being sick.
We’ve noticed so many women have been sick lately, and have had to take time off from training. It can be really tempting to try to jump right back into your training afterward to make up for lost time. But this can actually be detrimental to your overall progress.
While you want to rest and recover from your sickness, you also want to slowly build back up again. Craig talks about how exactly to do this and how to ease back into your regular training regime (and more!).
So, if you’re heading back into the gym after getting sick, this one is for you.
