You were unable to train for five weeks in mid-2019 after undergoing four operations. Tell us about your resting regime to gain your strength back? Why is it so important?
Elisabeth Seitz:
I had 4 surgeries between 2010-2017 on my feet. After every surgery i had to take breaks for more than 5 weeks. But after a surgery I always set new goals – most of the time it was to walk again and a few weeks or month later to train again. But a break never means to rest or relax. I always tried to work on other things I could do this time. It’s important to never stopdoing anything to get back in shape easier.

With the current outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, what is your current home workout routine? Share a short note on strength for those unable to handle this situation.
Elisabeth Seitz:
Fortunately, since the end of April I have been allowed to go to my training hall once a week. Before that, I mainly did a lot of exercises in the fresh air. Many exercises with your own body weight, but also a little dumbbell training was included. Running was and is important. Exercise is the basis for good physical fitness.
