Do you work out when your sick?

[BrandonXJ]

I'm sick. I have a Dr. appt at 11 and I"m not coming back to work after that. I don't think it's anything life threatening, just like the ear/nose/throat area are all scratchy and hurt a bit, I'm guessing it's an ear infection.

Would you still work out in this case?

Get up, get out, your immune system will only get stronger afterwords.

I hit the gym last nite after takign off work Friday while the cold set in & being in bed all weekend. Felt good to get out & stretch. Today I'm hittin the gym for legs, but I'm still home because I lost my voice. I don't need to talk to anyone when I'm squattin'. Well unless I get stuck under the bar....

Depends on how hard you work out.

I don't workout when I'm sick because I know my body needs the rest and if I tax it more I'll get even sicker or take twice as long to get well.

No. Because you are already using most of your recovery energies to boost your immune system and handle whatever it is that you are sick with.

You train and you are diverting your recovery to muscular use and then you are simply NOT recovering your immune system or your muscular efforts because you are drained.
