working out with a cough?
Hi there, I'm keen to get back to doing some cardio but I've had a stupid cough for about two weeks now, and it STILL isn't showing any signs of going away!

weird question
ok, I work in a nursing home, and am on my feet walking quite a bit during my 8 hour shift. I'm thinking I should be counting that walking as some of my exercise for the day, but am unsure how to.
