Hello,
Its understandable that you want to get back to your gym routine.
I would suggest you to start with stretching/yoga, breathing exercises and light body weight workouts for the next 2-3 weeks.
You will definitely notice changes in your breathing and stamina levels. But no need to worry.
Your lungs will need some time to get back to their full functioning capacity.
Once you understand your limitations better, you can gradually progress to more intensive exercise routines with weights and strength training.
