This group is for anyone who is into weight lifting in addition to cardiovascular activity. Share philosophies, programs, routines, diets or anything else you want to share. The goal is to keep each other inspired, motivated and on track!
When feeling run down, do you take the day off from training, or go lighter? I was conflicted this weekend, I felt like I was getting a cold so i took both days off and took vitamins and medicine and got sleep. But I feel guilty for not working out...so I ask, is it better to take the time off, or go and do a little cardio or something?
If you are run down stay home and get rest for a few days but I think it can actually help to work up a sweat when you have a cold or feel like you are getting one. I wouldn't go all out and do a grueling workout but I would do a light to normal workout followed by some time in the steam room. If you get the flu it's a different story because you may be dizzy or weak and injure yourself.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks! I think its just a cold, Ive been doing light cardio. Stupid weather in the northeast has gone from freezing to 50 back to freezing, i think its messing with everyones immune systems!
It's been like that here in the Midwest too! I got the worst cold I’ve had in years! My doctor suggested I take a zinc supplement every day and it seems to be helping.
My family is from Michigan and has said the same thing, its been a crazy winter! I will have to try a zinc supplement, i assume you can grab those at your local pharmacy?
