Assuming the roadmap out of lockdown goes to plan, gyms in England are due to reopen on 12th April (with Scotland scheduled to follow on 26th April, although no date has been set for Wales or Northern Ireland). This means the morning of 13th April is likely to see millions across England laid low with DOMS as people feel the effects of their first gym workout in months.
It’s worth trying to avoid being one of those people. Even if you have been keeping up a regular exercise routine at home, it’s wise to ease back into your gym sessions since you’re likely to be lifting heavier weights (unless you have a very well-stocked home gym). And if you haven’t been working out at home we strongly urge you not to go in all guns blazing. The after-effects will not be pleasant.
