Default Exercising With a Cold?

Good idea or not? I'm choked with the cold, got a horrible stuffy nose and a chesty cough.. Is it wise to try a workout this evening?

I find it helps alleviate the symptoms of a cold but it is really tough going, just keep yourself really well hydrated and go for it Lee!

I know you shouldn't run with a cold as your breathing is impaired and so you don't get enough oxygen to your muscles and you end up cramping....if you're going to the gym you should just the steam room, that'll sort it right out!

Don't infect everyone in the steam room, if you have a virus stay home let your body have the energy to fight it, relax!

I wouldn't do a harsh workout Lee..

Maybe wrap up warm and go for a walk? or just have a day off.

Wouldnt do you much harm, although you risk infecting everyone in the gym with your germs which is not very considerate, same with the steam room.

If you've been taking medication for it exercising could make you feel worse and in extreme cases could land you in hospital with heart problems.

Stay in bed

Lol @ the thought of me in a gym!!

I'm talking about a home workout.. A jump about in front of the telly! It is really hard going though.

Josy I can barely move today after 2 days if the 30DC!! Would it maybe help a bit just to give it a try? I can't unbend my arms and walking up and down the stairs in interesting!

You could try if your brave

I wouldn't do the shred with a cold though it's too intense.

Some people do 2 days on 1 day off of the shred btw and it still works, Jillian Michaels said herself that she doesn't advise anyone to do it 30 days straight without giving their muscles a rest.

After your 4th day doing the shred the soreness will disappear.

Kizzy this is level 1 just to give you an idea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8

The full DVD is 3 levels of workouts. Each level is less than 30 minutes, including warmup and cooldown stretches.

Most people do 10 days at Level 1, then 10 at level 2 then 10 at level 3 but you can wait until you feel ready before moving on.

You use a pair of hand weights and a mat.

I love Jillian she's a machine
