How to Get Back to Working Out in One Simple Step

Over a month ago, I went in for a routine procedure. I ended up being one in 250 people who had complications. It’s been a long month, and I’m still not back to my old self. But, I have been cleared to get back to working out.

Where do I start? My instinct is to go hard and try to gain back all of my missed workouts in one month. (BAD IDEA) I know that is not safe, smart, or feasible. Instead, I’m going to start slowly.

If you’ve been on an exercise hiatus, are coming back from an illness, or need to start slower, this workout is for you!

This workout is a circuit workout. Do it once all the way through and stop. Or go through it again. You determine what feels right for you. It’s comprised of bodyweight exercises, so no weights or equipment are needed. If you are truly coming back from an exercise break, I wouldn’t recommend doing it more than three times.
