People often never know when to workout or when to not workout when sick. Here are some easy guidelines to follow:
If you haver a slight cold: Tone down the intensity. If you have a lower energy level, and feel like you are dragging, listento your body and pull back a bit. Your body needs all the energy it can get to fight the big, so don’t make it expell most of it’s energy at the gym.
If you are achey and congested: skip it. You are full blown sick and your body needs all the energy it can to heal. Working out can extend your amount of sick time.
If you have a fever: this one’s obvious, but keep your freakin’ fever germs to yourself *ahem, clients*
Cramps: working out is a must! It might be the last thing you want to do, but working out gets the blood pumping which speeds up the crampy process and aleviates pain.
