Getting motivated to come back to exercise after a recent injury or illness can be challenging especially as we age. Going from nursing an injury or illness which, mostly means our level of activity is very low to regular weekly exercise isn’t always as easy as it seems. There are many factors that can affect us which aren’t necessarily physical. Mental and emotional aspects can play a big role in making this transition difficult as well.
