Working out while having COLD ..yes or no ?

[diggi]

Usually I get sore throat..thats when I know I'll be sick with cold..having runnin nose, watery eyes and all that shit.. so today I went to the gym and felt great I started doing back (t-baR rows) did a heavy 4 sets and then i started to feel really sick..

I then completely ****ed up my workout..ended up doing abs.. some quads and arms...

should i take a day off or two from the gym..

ive really had a good workouts for a while now..and i feel like im slacking off.

Take a day or two off... get plenty of rest and of coarse lots vit C, working out while sick you run the chance of getting even more sicks and it will take you longer to get well

When that happens to me I either skip a day or two or just go easy that day. No sense in breaking yourself down further and causing more probs.

I prefer to skip one or 2 days than having bad workouts!

Hell, take a week off... let you body recover fully before heading back to the gym. When you get sick like this... it's you're body telling you to rest. A week off will seem like an eternity but the benefits are well worth it.

agree take time off

not to mention if you are contagious you may infect the next person who picks up the DB you just used

take it from me, i was just out for about 3 weeks. had a small case of bronchitis, sore throat, hellacious cough, runny nose, it was bad news. there was no way i was stepping in that gym. although, had i've infected everyone else, when i DID get back in there, i could have had the gym to myself,lol. take as much time off as you need. you know if you're sick, you won't put in 100%, so if thats the case, why go? just to get a burn? **** that, take the time off.
