Getting back into home workouts after taking a break is harder than I expected 😭 I thought I could just jump back into my old routine but my stamina said absolutely not m trying to take it slow rn and focus on consistency instead of going crazy on day one even doing a few pushups and squats feels like a win at this point.

Reduce your reps for now and slowly build them back up. Your body will catch up

Do you usually take complete rest days when you're getting back into it or just do lighter workouts?
