training while sick

TweetDo you still go to the gym and train even if you're under the weather?

If yes, have you, or will you still hang tough in the gym even running a fever?

TweetYou are not doing your body any good if you continue to train when sick, especially with a fever. Your body needs rest to heal so take a break however long that may be.

TweetCorrect never train when you are sick it's counter productive for training and most importantly makes it harder fro your body to get well. Most likely the rest wouldn't hurt anyways so take it as a blessing in disguise

TweetThanks.
I had to take most of this week off because I got to feeling so rough. I checked my temp on Wed, and it was 100.2, so I had something. I was worried because I hadn't been around anyone, or heard of anyone being sick except for that virus on the news. Then once I told people that I was feeling under the weather, I heard that alot of people have had the flu, or something.

But one thing I was wondering, and I'm glad to see your answers, is if people take their sick, germy behinds to the gym. So, not only is it counter productive, and unhealthy to work your body while it's fighting a sickness, but it's like showing up at work all sick. Good job there sickness, appreciate ya offering those germs for everyone else in the gym.

I should've known that our well informed expertise here at FG knows better than to spread the sickness around the gym.

To sum up the week this Saturday evening, I'm feeling much better. I took a Z-pack, and it did the job. That's the first time I've aken antibiotics in, I don't kow how long. I'll do anything to keep from taking antibiotics, but I wanted to kill the infection before it spread to my lungs and kept me down any longer. I'm back to where I can't stand to miss a workout, and I feel so behind now. But, I didn't loose but maybe a pound. I think I was down 2 pounds on my worst couple days. It's something how even a long weekend out of the gym will make you feel like you loose your pump. Well, combine a sickness and add a couple days to that, and that's how de-pumped I am. "de-pumped"<--lol...but it sucks. At least I'll be well rested and fully recovered, so I don't have to worry about a relapse from overdoing it next week.

Sick folks stay home! and get better
