Working Out With a Cold Posted: 01-16-07 11:18am
I recently have come down with a runny
nose and some coughing which I am taking
sudafed and robitussin. No headaches and
i'm eating normally. I generally work out
4-5 days a week at the gym. Is it a bad
idea to be working out when your sick but
still able to work out physically?

It is okay to exercise with a cold. But
make sure you do not have a fever, or
anything that you can pass on to some one
else.
Just makes sure that you are not too sick,
and can breath well.

I disagree with makoto.
Things like these happens, you should wait
the couple day to get better instead of
further stressing your body, which will
only prolong your time to recover.
Instead of your body focusing on one thing
it has to deal with the cold and reparing
muscles, therefore both aspects will not
be as effective.

If you cold is bad, and it is more than
just a head cold, it is okay to work out.
However, if your symptoms are sever then
it is better to take it easy.
