Working out with cold / flu

[Luke717]

Does anyone have any thoughts on working out with a cold. In my younger days coaches would say to sweat it out. I read it can be better to rest. I've been tired and have had to force myself to get in the gym. I sure as hell don't want to prolong this cold.

Bad idea, your body is fighting an inflection and you will undoubtedly make it worse if you exercise.

I think it's better to just rest and heal. But I'm one that will always try to work out. I guess that's just my OCD kicking in.

Stay the heck out of the gym spreading that stuff everywhere, yikes! Let your body recover, you will not loose mass over a few days time
