do you excercise wiht a cold?

[PoshCod]

haev a mild head cold - sneezing and headaches

am i right not to go to gym?
feel guilty

IMO, you're right. I wouldn't.

I have been told before now (by a nurse) that it is actually dangerous to exercise with a cold (can't remember why but I think it might be something to do with the lungs not operating properly) - so that sounds like a good excuse to me

you get more dehydrated with a cold
so not a good idea to then get even more so exercising
better to recover firts

also gym top environment for spreading germs so the other punters will be grateful to you

I have heard that it can draw the infection down to the lungs if you exercise hard-so make the most of it and have a rest!

You should ask on the running thread - they know. From memory I think even normal healthy fit people can keel over and die from a cardiac arrest if they undertake strenuous exercise whilst they have a productive chesty cold

a mild head cold is not such an issue, however no point in exercising when you feel ropey imo

I think that if you have a really bad cold, it can cause a strain on your heart as the body has to work alot harder to fight the infection and work out at the same time. They usually say if you are suffering from any symptoms from the neck upwards do not exercise. If you've got a cold you'll only feel like pants after anyway!!
