Most common questions used to investigate
Are you experiencing symptoms like diarrhea?
Are you experiencing some nasal congestion?
Do you have a fever?
Common conclusions
It is good for you because when experiencing symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, fever or a productive cough, it is best for you to rest your body and take some time off from the gym to recover.
If your symptoms are all "above the neck” exercise is usually OK, so if you caught a mild cold or are experiencing some nasal congestion, there is definitely no need to throw in the towel on your workout. If you do choose to exercise when you are sick, you should reduce the intensity and length of your workout.
While it is fine to work out when you have a cold or runny nose, if you have a fever, you should hold off from your regular workout. Working out while you are feverish increases the risk of dehydration and can make a fever worse. If it is greater than 101°F, you should definitely avoid exercise until your fever breaks. You should remember drinking lots of fluids, eating healthy foods etc. Once your fever breaks (usually after two to five days), wait 24-hours before working out and you should check with your doctor if you are not sure if it is OK to exercise.
