training for flu

[GunnerBeal]

bros I got flu for a week already, it's a fucking nightmare, I was told sweating and doing heavy cardio will help
to get rid of flu faster, true?

i highly doubt you have the flu.. you probably have some sort of bacterial infection for it to last a week

but yes sweating does help with being sick, your body actually attempts to do this by raising the temperature.. that is why you get fevers when sick

doing heavy cardio is not a good idea.. i would sweat by hitting the sauna or just sit in your hot car.. make sure you rehydrate all the lost sweat

Doing heavy cardio is not a good idea when you are sick. A better idea would be to sit in the steam room or the sauna.

Focus on resting, getting in lots of fluids and supplement with vitamin C. Feel better soon man!

How about NOT training? Your immune system will be stressed.

Lots of water and sweating will help flush toxins.
