Since returning to California from London, the 32-year-old has already been back in action for Galaxy in a pre-season warm-up game.
He played the first-half in Friday's 5-0 win over the United States' U-17 team, scoring from the penalty spot.
"What you get paid to do is play football, so might as well get straight into it and get into the mix," Keane told the MLS's official website. "That's where you're going to get your fitness and your match sharpness, and running laps around the pitch for 20 minutes is boring, so I like to be out there playing."
The Republic of Ireland international has since revealed that he found it easy getting back in the swing of things having trained with Spurs for 10 days.
He added: "But it was nice and intense for me, which was quite good after having six weeks off."
Keane scored 22 goals in 34 appearances for Galaxy last term.
