Are you tired of exercising?

Common conclusions

If you are experiencing symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, fever or a productive cough, it is best option for you to rest your body and take some time off from the gym to recover. You can skip the workouts for a week and feel no guilty for that.

If you caught a mild cold or are experiencing some nasal congestion, there is no need to throw in the towel on your workout.

Fatigue is one of the many reasons why people skip or cut short their workouts. But unlike true physical exhaustion, fatigue is a perception and your perceptions can be changed. Exercise itself can make you feel less fatigued and more energized. You should definitely drink more water to keep your body hydrated so replenish your fluids before, during and after exercise, and bump up the amount if you sweat heavily or the air temperature is high.
