Thought I'd share that I completed a workout this morning. May sound like no big deal, but it's the first time in 2 weeks that I can say it. No sooner does everyone start unmasking that I get a cold! I felt bad enough that I just didn't have the energy (or desire, if I'm honest) to workout at all: all I did was some short walks. But I'm finally feeling better, so back to the office... and back to working out!
But wow! My glutes were not happy with me at all. Had to take breaks doing the bridges that I never needed before. But I was also glad: means that the right muscles were getting activated. Also proud of myself for getting back on the horse.
Anyone else have similar experiences with taking a break, and need to go easy? Or anyone get sick once masks come off? Just me and my bad luck?
Two weeks off

I knew that whatever I did, I'd really feel it. In the past when I've taken time off from working out, stuff that used to be easy was much harder. I was relieved, though, when I saw that the workout I had scheduled was a nice and easy pilates workout; this one: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/butt-and-thigh-pilates-workout-with-ascending-reps-glute-activation-and-burnout.
