Working out when you are sick...

Many people wrongfully assume that when you are sick you shouldn’t work out, but this is when your body need exercise and nutrients the most!  If you are experiencing the sniffles, headache, etc, then you can safely workout.  That being said, you need to listen to your body.  If you don’t feel up to it, your body might be telling you to take it easy and to take a few days to rest and regain your strength.  If you have the energy, just try a light to moderate routine!

If your symptoms are impacting your respiratory system, then you should forgo your exercise because this can put undue strain on your already stressed organs.

Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat lots of fruits and veggies, along with your chicken soup!
