Nobody likes getting sick. Whether it\u2019s a brutal case of the flu or \u201cjust a cold,\u201d we can\u2019t wait until we\u2019re back to our normal selves. Obviously, if you\u2019re in the grips of a killer flu bug, the idea of working out is laughable. You\u2019ll be calling or sending a text to your GYMGUYZ trainer, letting them know that today\u2019s workout is out of the question. We\u2019ve all been sick enough where we barely have the strength to move from the couch, let alone exercise. But what about when, yes, you\u2019re clearly under the weather, but your energy levels and motivation aren\u2019t affected by the illness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One school of thought is to go by whether or not you\u2019re running a temperature. And by this I mean, your basal temperature is elevated to 100 or more, when not \u201cartificially\u201d lowered by fever reducers such as acetaminophen. It\u2019s never advisable to engage in vigorous exercise when running a temperature; that\u2019s a recipe for disaster and could land you in the hospital. On the other hand, if you have a cold but aren\u2019t running a temperature, follow your instincts. If your gut urges you to go through your usual GYMGUYZ workout, by all means do. It won\u2019t necessarily quicken your ultimate recovery\u2026 but it also shouldn\u2019t slow it down. If you\u2019d really like to exercise, but are feeling \u201coff\u201d enough to the point where you really have to stop and think\u2026 don\u2019t do it. Better to err on the side of caution and give yourself that extra day (or two).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
