Getting Back Into It After Flu Posted: 03-10-04 08:24am
I've read all different kinds of
suggestions about when it's ok to resume
workouts after a cold or flu. I had a
very nasty cold for 3 weeks, thought it
was completely gone, & started back
gently, first walking, then picking up the
intensity a bit & also adding strength
training. One full workout of this and a
couple of days later, I got hit with the
flu. It's now 6 days after getting
slammed, and most of it's gone except for
a slight runny nose. I'm afraid to do
anything to aggravate this. What's been
your experience??

I would go ahead and work out, but do it
light. Do not overdo it and make
yourself sick again. Just start off low
and do maybe weights or something instead
of cardio, and just see how you feel.
Your body will let you know when you are
doing too much. I hope you feel better.
