SHould I workout if Im sick?

[dj_pacman51]

I wanna go but I got a bit of a cold. Should I rest up for the rest of the week and hit it hard next week or would it be ok to go now if I wanted?

your CNS is usually a little shot when you are sick. so it is a good idea not to push it..

but you can still workout, if you really want, just don't push the limits. it could either make you more sick, or cause over training

Ah ok. I'll jux rest up the rest of the week and start again next week.

it depends how sick you are, I still try to get in there and go light if its just a cold, but thats me

[crf450x]

do you workout at home or at a gym?

sometimes workin out can make the cold worse, i experienced this recently. I was also in dreaded pct when your immune system is at its lowest. not fun

There's no point. It takes an intense workout to make any kind of progress. An intensity you probably couldn't/wouldn't want to reach when you're sick.
