Working Out While Sick? Do or Don't

It's always around seasonal changes when people get sick. Sometimes it's severe and sometimes just the occasional allergies. So, when should you just rest and when can you continue on your fitness journey?

 We all know the doctor tells us to drink plenty of fluids and get some rest when we have a cold. Rest helps our bodies to naturally heal because our white blood cells are doing the work and the fluids help to flush toxins out of our bodies. When we work out when our body is already working overtime to heal its self we slow down the process therefore making us remain sick for a longer period of time.

When you have something simple as a allergies from dust, pollen, or ragweed if is okay to continue with your workout.  However if you feel severely fatigued give yourself 2-3 days to recover. You're doing your body a disservice to work yourself backwards.

So, remember GET WELL then WORKOUT! No matter how bad you want to feel the burn. I'm restraining myself and it is HARD to sit still!
