More people are beginning to return to the office after months of working remotely.
A new survey found that nearly 60 percent of those who identified as “non-exercisers” in the past are now actively exercising an average of 2.64 times each week since returning to the office.
If you’re new to maintaining a regular fitness routine, experts say it’s important to start low with less strenuous activities and progress gradually.
Making sure to enjoy the type of exercise you’re doing can help you stick to new routines and maintain a higher level of fitness.

Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted behaviors and daily routines, how has it affected the way people approach fitness?

A survey out late this summer reveals that this current phase of the health crisis in the United States — with people returning to offices and social engagements, that regular ebb and flow of day-to-day life resembling something like pre-pandemic times — has spurred some of those who were least active to embrace physical fitness in their routines.
