Do you workout when you have a head cold?
Just wondering---if you have a head cold, would you:
1. still meet with the personal trainer?
2. run outside?

Re: Do you workout when you have a head cold?
I once read that you can proceed with your normal activities if all the symptoms are only neck up - runny or stuffed up nose, etc. However, if anything's in your chest, you should take it easy.
That is the rule of thumb that I follow.
Then again, sometimes if it's only neck up I'll still take it easy.

Yes I still run. I run inside on a treadmill. It actually helps the congestion

Re: Do you workout when you have a head cold?
Yes, i still run. I feel it helps me recover faster. And i am so glad i do train while sick, because i got a bad cold just in time for my first half marathon and was sill able to do a good job, becaise ai am "experienced" running while sick.

Yes! Working out actually makes me feel better and clears me up! I love the way I feel right after a good workout!

Yes. I always figure, if I can go to work, I can work out.

Re: Do you workout when you have a head cold?
It's funny for me to see this question today. This past week, for the first time EVER, I only ran one day because I've had this cold I couldn't shake. Typically, I would have run away, but I was WIPED from this cold and didn't think I'd get better if I sacrificed sleep to run. I ran today for the first time since Tuesday, and it felt GREAT.
I guess the short answer is that I've done both... but only if I had the energy. (I talk a lot. Sorry. )

Running and working out helps me decongest! But if I really feel lousy I won't push it. (But it takes A LOT for me not to go!)

I don't because it would be a waste for me.

Re: Do you workout when you have a head cold?
Thanks for all of the responses!
I did see my personal trainer 3x this past week but I skipped running. My trainer adjusted my workout a little because my energy level was looowww.
