Exercisers often push through pain when it comes to minor injuries or colds, but working out with even mild Covid-19 is looking to be a bad move.

According to a study published in JAMA Cardiology,Covid-19 patients are at risk for heart problems. When researchers performed cardiac MRI testing on 100 adults two to three months after Covid-19 recovery, 78 had structural changes to their hearts, and 60 had myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle that can lead to abnormal heartbeat, heart failure, and sudden death.

Those are serious issues, yet no participant had “serious” Covid-19 cases. Half experienced mild to moderate symptoms, 18% were asymptomatic, and noneexperienced heart-related symptoms.
