Hi does anyone have health anxiety while working out? Haven’t worked out since September and really scared of going back to the gym because I gained some weight and I become very panicky when my heart rate goes high. Anyone has any tips on how I can go back to the gym and go back to enjoying my workouts?

Crazy, I finally got out of my lonely lull enough tonight to go to the gym, are you me? I recently had omicron and remember the toll my heart took with 2 cases of covid and 3 vaccines (inflamed heart for a bit) in less than a year. It also helped me make an excuse for just simply being out of shape, but I told myself I will start easy on myself. I know for a fact that consistent gradual build ups will get you feeling good in no time, and that’s my plan as well. Be easy on yourself for not going as hard in the beginning. A workout is better than no workout.

Same! Recently diagnosed with anxiety/ADHD but the symptom that pushed me to get an evaluation was a consistently high heart rate (and panic attacks). My covid booster also landed me in the ER with a crazy high heart rate so I was double scared to start working out again incase I broke something. I’ve found that starting super small, like a 30 min walk every day for a week, and building gradually on that has been the best approach. I also resisted the urge to just jump into a previous routine or pick an intense workout program because I didn’t want to scare myself and feel like I needed to stop.

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
