It was bound to happen sooner or later. You got sick. Even after you got your flu shot, stocked up on GermX, washed your hands after you went to Walmart and avoided that co-worker who was coughing their head off all last week. It happens! Now the question is: Can you still exercise?!!! You don’t want to miss out on working out. But you also don’t want to make yourself feel worse! So what’s the rule?!
Most doctors agree on the “Neck Rule” when it comes to sickness and working out. If your symptoms are above the neck, including a sore throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, and tearing eyes, then it's okay to exercise. But if your symptoms are below the neck, such as coughing, bronchial tightness, body aches, fever and fatigue, then it's best to rest for the time being.
So choose wisely and make sure to take care of yourself! Have a wonderful, HEALTHY weekend!!!
