Do you workout when you're sick?
Under the weather today, but I think I will go do some lige walking on the treadmill so I don't get too out of my routine...

Re: Do you workout when you're sick?
I do if I only have a cold. It actually sometimes feel better once I'm up and moving.
The only time I don't work out is if my stomach is upset. I can't workout then.

Re: Do you workout when you're sick?
if you have a fever, chest congestion or body aches, it would be good for you to rest
if it's something like a stuffy nose or sore throat, you should be okay doing a lighter work out (70-80% of your normal intensity)

Re: Do you workout when you're sick?
I will if I feel up to it but usually, its a much more mellow work out. I have been sick also so I did the elliptical on Mon, took yesterday off and today I am going to try for a light run. Its so much harder to motivate myself when I am sick but I try to convince myself that breaking a sweat might help, lol

Not if I have a fever but I've actually gotten rid of headaches by working out. I've had colds etc and worked out but only at home or outside, not at the gym. I don't want to be a typhoid Mary.

As long as I'm not achy, I work out.

Re: Do you workout when you're sick?
For the most part, I will still workout when sick. I find I do not cough or sneeze really when working out.
