At Garage Strength and Peak Strength, we know how much staying consistent matters, even when you're dealing with a minor injury or limitation. To help you keep training while giving an injured area room to recover, Peak Strength offers Injury Recovery Training Focuses that reduce your overall training volume, prioritize recovery, and avoid stressing the affected area.
Before training with an injury, listen to your body and use good judgment. Peak Strength's Injury Recovery options are designed for minor injuries and limitations, and they aren't a substitute for medical care. If your injury is serious, painful, or not improving, stop training the affected area and consult a doctor or seek medical attention before continuing.
Injury Recovery Training Focuses
Peak Strength currently offers these Injury Recovery options:
Ankle/Foot Recovery: avoids or lightly uses the ankles and feet.
General Recovery: very light full-body strength and recovery.
Knee Recovery: avoids or lightly uses the knees.
Lower Back Recovery: avoids or lightly uses the lower back.
Shoulder Recovery: avoids or lightly uses the shoulders.
Wrist/Hand Recovery: avoids or lightly uses the wrists and hands.
To start one, rebuild your training plan and select "Train for a goal," then "Injury Recovery," and choose the Training Focus that fits.
For a minor or short-term limitation
If you don't want to switch your whole plan, an alternative is to check out the Prehab, Mobility, and Bodyweight Bonus workouts for low-impact, targeted training. You can remove your workout for the day and replace it with one of these that avoids the affected area:
On the Training Dashboard, tap "Add Workout."
Choose a Prehab, Mobility, or Bodyweight workout from the Add-ons or Bonus Workouts section, based on your injury.
This lets you keep training without changing your Training Plan.
