Whether you’ve been injured, taking care of a loved one, or working through your own health issues - it’s totally normal to take breaks from your workouts from time to time. And while building habits is important - you can always count on life to throw you a curveball and force you into a break.

But how do you get back into your workouts without overdoing it or getting hurt?

That’s exactly what I’m sharing in this week’s episode. 

Because most of the time, it’s not the break that’s an issue... it’s trying to pick up exactly where you left off 😳 

You’ll learn:

  • How to restart your workouts after taking a break
  • Why taking breaks is an important part of any movement routine
