Exercising When You Are Sick?
Should you workout or Zumba when you are sick – that’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves. However, the best thing to do when your body is fighting a cold or flu, not to mention any other more serious illnesses, is to stay away from the gym. Your body is already overwhelmed trying to get rid of the virus or bacteria and the worst thing you can do to your immune system is to overload it with some exercise related stress and risk spreading it to others.
So, why not catch up on your reading and stay home. Once you’re better come back to the gym. Regular exercise will greatly help to build and maintain a strong immune system.
