With fitness studios fully open, we know you’re eager to get back to your favorite workouts! While at home workouts can be just as effective, there’s something about the studio atmosphere and community that home workouts can’t replace! Before you rush back into your pre-quarantine routine, remember recovery is key. Keep these fitness tips in mind to prevent injury and optimize recovery! While exercise makes us feel great, recovery is one of the most essential (and often overlooked) parts of a strong and healthy body.
As we slowly re-open the economy and ease back into a sense of normal, take the same approach with your workouts! Understandably, the re-opening of studios and gyms may have you anxious to get back to your fitness routine. While it may be temping to pick up where you left off, your body may not be quite ready for that.
To avoid exercise-induced injury, ease back into your routine! Now that your favorite fitness classes are opening up, you can still attend your local gyms and studios, but be mindful not to overdo it.
Tip: Instead of taking a daily HIIT or spin class, start slowly by scheduling class a few times a week.
If you’re heading back to the gym, be mindful of how heavy you’re lifting. Before you reach for the same weight you were lifting pre-quarantine, start with lighter weights.
Take a few weeks to re-introduce your body to your workouts and get adjusted to a new schedule. Why is this important? Taking time for your body to adjust will prevent injury and help your body feel its best. If you’re ready to ease back into your workouts, we’ve found the best fitness studios in San Diego!

Finally, one of the most important aspects of recovery, sleep! You can work out as hard as you want in the gym but without adequate sleep, you’re not going to see the results you’ve earned! During quarantine we learned how important it is to slow down and prioritize recovery. For many of us, it was the reset our mind and body desperately needed. Now that fitness studios and gyms are re-opening, it is just as important, if not more, to continue prioritizing rest and recovery as we get back to our workouts.
To optimize your results in the gym, prevent injury, get the gains you work so hard to achieve, the best thing you can do is get adequate sleep! When you sleep, you are allowing your body the time it needs to recover in order to repair and rebuild your muscles. During your deep sleep cycle your body releases growth hormone, the hormone needed for muscle and growth repair, bone building, and fat burning. Who knew a little extra shut eye was the secret to building those strong and lean muscles?
As you get back into your fitness routine and increase the intensity and frequency of your exercise, more rest is needed! To improve your quality of sleep and ensure you’re getting the adequate rest you need, try our tips and tricks to a restful night’s sleep.
Don’t miss out on another workout because you failed to rest and recover properly! Prevent injury and optimize recovery with these fitness tips and wellness services. Book your appointment today to start looking and feeling your best.
