Hi @skinner, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We’re an online community forum where members come together to use our experiences and valuable insights gathered along our life journies to help each other.

You found the right place for discussions on Covid and long haulers…
I commend you for taking such positive actions in managing your symptoms! Wow, I’m sorry you had such an awful time with Covid though. You’ve obviously been through the wringer with this. As you can see you’re not alone, we have quite a few members in our Covid recovery group.

I think exercise is a huge component in recovery from any illness. It’s not always easy but it helps to keep motived and positive. So your ability to do some HIIT power walks is excellent!

While you’re waiting for other members to reply, I found a site which contains some articles on HIIT in regard to Covid

And in order to help you navigate our Connect site, here’s a link to some of the most asked questions. But please, feel free to ask anything!
Also take some time to peruse some of our 70+ Health groups and jump into any conversation where you find an interest or might be able to offer some encouragement to other members.
