Can I still workout while I’m injured?

Asked a year ago

I have been doing the one and done program for a few months now and I enjoy them! I recently sustained an injury at work and I'm wondering if it's safe to continue working out while I'm recovering. It’s not a serious injury, but I don’t want to make the injury worse. My only problem is that I am scared I will lose all the progress I have made with my fitness journey. Can I still workout or should I take a break from working out altogether?

The answer depends on the type, severity, and location of the injury. Sometimes, it may be enough to modify your workout routine to accommodate the injury. In some other cases, you may need to take a break from exercise to allow healing before resuming your workout. Whatever the case, you should consult with a healthcare professional before continuing to exercise with an injury.
