training while sick????????

[dupa95]

I never really asked a large group like this.I have always trained With a cold flu what ever. Is this the right thing to be doing?

[slacker]

I have also done this and am curious about the answer, bump.

Probably not..but that's what separates the mice from the men. Sweat and piss it out.

[S.P.G]

I would say no on this as training releases cortisol and can lower your immune system quit drastically letting the virus really kick in and do its work.

rest up and recover Is what i always say.

agreed rest up and get better then train when you recover.....if its a cold its not that bad but if you have the flu dont train

I just up the vit c and keep hitten it. Unless its the flu...then no training at all.

A minor cold-yes..A major cold or flu-no!

[Getinbgr]

You're not training, whether you want to or not, if you have a major flu.

yeah, I agree, but keep in mind you'll take twice as long to recover from even a light session

maybe if you have a light head cold/allergy's then do a light session and up you cardio a bit,

but if its major hell no!

Cool just a regular ol head cold I never stop no matter what any way. I work though injuries the hole nine yards. I just really enjoy workin out. Helps calm my mind. I got lot's of static in my attic

I usually take a few days off as much as I hate to. You will come back stronger. But if you must train then cut the workouts in half. If you have a fever though, forget it. You have to give it a rest.
