Workingout when sick

[RALFFERS 0]

Good idea, bad idea?....

At this point, I only have a runny nose; the killer headache & shakes/shivers are gone.

I've been cooped up in the house for going on 3 days, and if I spend any more time here I'm gonna lose me mind (not that this hasn't already happened!)

don't - you'll just get others sick and impede your immune system.

Rest up -

or go to the doctor and stop complaining.

Drink six strong drinks, if you still feel like working out-you're sick and need to stay home
Do what you feel up to, but do you want to go make other people sick? What workout activity can you arrange at home?

I had a bad cold a few weeks ago. One night, I could feel a fever coming on to.

Annoyed that I haven't worked out the past couple days, I said screw it, and went to the gym. Did CrossFit's, "Murph," and actually got a personal record on it. Did it with a 20lb weight vest as well.

Murph:

Run 1mi
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
Run 1mi

Partition the Pullups, Pushups, and Squats as needed. Start and stop with a 1mi run. If you have a 20lb vest or body armor, wear it.

Time = 48:50

Fever went away, and the next day the illness diminished.

I find doing a hard metcon or aerobic workout does wonders for getting rid of the common cold. I wouldn't do it with anything serious, like strep throat, but for the common cold/flu, it works like magic.

BTW, the September challenge on another forum is Triple Murph. Do 3 consecutive Murphs for time, and alternate each Murph so it's different. For example, wear the weight vest on one, next one without, and third, do all the pullups, then all the pushups, then all the squats.

Run 1mi
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
Run 2mi
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
Run 2mi
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
Run 1mi

Gonna plan on doing this next Monday. Who's with me

Runny nose and kind of tired? For me, if that's all, working out will usually make me feel better. But that's me-fever, killer headache, etc.- no way. Also, for me more often then not if I've got a runny nose, that's allergies and not a cold. No one else can catch my allergies! I almost never get sick since I started working out regularly.

I've always given my body a rest so it can work to fight off whatever is ailing me. Why don't you just go for a brisk walk and not necessarily "work out".

It depends on how sick and how long you've been sick.

You wouldn't be if you would have listened to me. Get better.

Paul,

I looked into the stuff you showed me - I just can't afford it at the moment...
