Gym when sick?
Do you ladies go to the gym when you are sick? I don't mean the flu or anything but I have a cold and I really wanted to go to the gym this weekend...my work schedule has been crazy and so my workout schedule has been off so I was looking forward to hitting the gym hard this weekend for weight training and cardio. What do you think?

Re: Gym when sick?
I work out when I'm sick as long as I feel up to it. I actually feel better when I'm done. I think the "rule" is that if the cold is not in your chest, it shouldn't make you worse. Most of the colds I get are congestion an sore throat, so I'm not sure 100% on that one. Just listen to your body and don't go all out unless you feel really good. Hope you feel better.

Re: Gym when sick?
The only time I give myself the excuse of being sick is when I literally cannot get out of bed, otherwise, I know I am able to do something, so I do it.

Re: Gym when sick?
I'll go even when I'm sick.
I've heard if its above the neck you're fine. Below the neck you shouldn't work out.

Re: Gym when sick?
If you don't have a fever - you are OK to work out - sometimes it makes me feel better
Seeing how many people do go when under the weather makes wiping off the machines so much more important!
I wouldn't go with a stomach bug either.

Re: Gym when sick?
If I'm feeling run down & my chest hurts, I'll just ride the bike at the gym or do weights, nothing really overly strenuous. If it's just a head cold, I can do the harder cardio.

Re: Gym when sick?
I haven't been to the gym since last wednesday. I had the flu and there was no way I could have worked out or even felt like it! I'm going back tomorrow a.m. I miss it.

Re: Gym when sick?
Only if I feel okay. Sometimes even with a cold I feel completely drained so I won't go. If I'm congested, the cardio usually helps break it up.
