It is okay to continue your workout routine but at a moderate intensity cardio or strength training is even advised. It’s already hard to feel bad when sick, but know that both illness and exercise stresses your body. If you continue at a high intensity, you may delay your proper recovery and possibly prolong or make your symptoms even worse. For a healthier way of life you must take into consideration that it takes time for your body to recover. A few days missed or even a week will not undo all the hard work you have done towards your fitness goals. You will be back to your workout regime soon if you take care of your health first. When it is OK to exercise: - If no fever is present - Symptoms are above the neck, for instance sniffles, stuffy or congested nose. - No other severe symptoms are present When it is NOT OK to exercise: - When fevers or chills are present - A cough or chest congestion are present - Lethargy or aches and pains are present - You have swollen glands - Dizziness or light headedness can lead to falls - Vomiting - You have frequent asthma and have difficulty breathing as a result of illness If you are too sick to go to work, you might want to sit this one out.
