I find I feel motivated but then all of a sudden feel very tired. When I was a gym member one of the guys there said not to bother when you've got a cold as working out will circulate it around the body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-when-you-have-a-cold#post-1603979 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:13:23 +0000 HLK208 1603979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: way to go!</p> <p>If I'm achy or have a sore throat, then no.

Rest up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-when-you-have-a-cold#post-1602037 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:37:53 +0000 Smurfette 1602037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how bad it is. If I am exhausted at the end of the work day (more then normal) then no. But if I am feeling normal but have a runny nose, then I still try too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-when-you-have-a-cold#post-1602012 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:33:27 +0000 BeatlesFan629 1602012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on how bad my cold is. Usually I'll try to push through it but just take it easy. But sometimes, I'll just skip it for a day or two until the severity of the cold lessens </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-when-you-have-a-cold#post-1602008 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:32:30 +0000 mrsjyw 1602008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two bad colds in the last few months. One time i took it easy but still worked out (helped w sinus too!) and the other i took off a week. It wasn't hard to get back to the routine after and my body/wt didn't take a hit. It was harder to get motivated to go baack after a horrible af week last mth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-exercise-when-you-have-a-cold#post-1601993 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:29:14 +0000 lawbee11 1601993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I caught LO's cold (she's basically had a cold every other week for two months so it's a miracle that I'm just now getting sick). It's mostly in my sinuses (no sore throat or coughing). I'm BFing so I've been using the neti pot twice a day but that's pretty much it since my options are limited.</p> <p>I took last night off from shredding but I'm bummed because I'm actually in a good groove with working out. I know colds can last awhile and I worry that I'll stop exercising then it'll be hard to get back into it. </p> <p>Do you exercise when you have a cold? I'm motivated so I want to do it, but I also don't want to prolong my cold by overdoing it. </p>
