Is it bad for you?
Don't give me but you will infect others, just want to know I exercsing is bad whilst sick
Yes it can weaken the Heart muscles....
What sickness/disease do you have?
I don't have a sickness/disease
Just asking in terms of a cold...
1
Assess your symptoms. If your troubles are above the neck, moderate exercise is probably OK. For example, if you have a cold and no fever, a walk may be fine.
Step2
If you have flu-like symptoms and a fever, rest.
Step3
Do not work out hard for at least a couple of weeks if you're really sick. Your body needs to concentrate on healing.
Step4
Start slowly when you return to exercising. You will have lost some strength, but it will come back faster with patience. Don't beat yourself up and get sick again.
Step5
Sleep, sleep, sleep. Your body needs the rest time to repair the immune system. Also, if you are stepping up the exercise intensity quite a bit, you may even need more sleep. Try for at least 8 hours per night.
