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?
