    Working out when sick

    I´ve been stuffy head and slight fever for a week. A little gurgling sound in my chest when coughing, and got that taste of flu in my mouth.
    Still been going to the gym on schedule.
    I don´t cough or sneeze at the gym. If I would, I would not go of respect for the other gym goers.
    If my fever increases from here I´ll stay home.
    Sometimes when I´m sick, I feel like going to the gym makes me better, feel stronger, than lying in bed.

    What is your cutoff?

    ^ This..

    A runny nose, of course. If its a fever and you feel the aches then its not worth it. Rest up 48hrs then re assess.

    ^^^Yes, agree.
    If u got fever, I guess the body is working pretty hard to fight the infection, so too weak to get in a decent workout anyway.

    This sucks, I´m getting worse, and headed to Florida for a week, haven´t been sick in years, bad timing.
    Even had a date with Gixxr´s wife´s best girlfriend. She´s supposed to be super hot. Now I have to cancel.
