    Should i work out sick?

    Hey fellas i know this is a question ive always wondered, should i work out with the common "feel like shit but can still function" cold, you know headache, sore throat, stoped up sinus, tired etc......its just seems that with me these colds come twice a year and are a bit lengthy.

    Whats the thoughts?

    I would take that time off to heal internally, and give my body a break. Inducing more stress on your system will only result in a lengthier healing process.

    Do you think that taking 2,3,4 or 5 days off is bad? Its really not. Your CNS needs to heal itself. Of course you can work out, however, you may find yourself taking longer to recover from your wo and your illness. However, this is not always the case as I have found that working out while sick actually helped and I felt better.

    So, it depends really on how you feel and how sick you are. Just listen to your body.

    Never work out sick because you will shrink instead of getting bigger.
