I was off 3 months, that is the longest I can remember NOT going to the gym in the last 15 years. I have done cardio, bike riding, walking, yard work.
Gym allowed NO masks during workout, pleasant surprise, pool, showers, spa, lockers still closed, which I expected was going to be the case. It was pretty empty, but the club didn't advertise reopening widely, I learned first about it from someone walking away from the close gym a couple of days ago who told me it was going to open 6AM Friday. No advanced notice that I saw about the reopening.
Did a full body workout, what I found interesting.
Major muscles like thighs, abs, shoulders were maybe 10% weaker, but I was trying to take it easy and not push to what I know was my previous max. Stretching I was a little more tight in my thighs than before.
But triceps and trapezius were weaker, these are muscles I don't use a lot nor need to push hard in normal life like yardwork, so the gym is the main place I work those muscles hard. This showed as weaker.
No doubt I will be sore.
