Should I listen to my body to workout even though I feel ill or wait until I recover fully.

    Listen to it.. there is a reason why your body signals pain and feeling unwell..

    Now if it is a cold or something fairly mild and you have no fever, use your discretion.

    If you feel really lousy curl up under a blanket, watch a movie or read a good book, and drink plenty of liquids.
    The world won't stop if you miss a few workouts, and the rest may do you good.

    Cheers, h.

    if you want to work out from home or go for a run then that is fine, but please don't go to a public gym and contaminate the whole place....

    I will try & tough it out

    Just don't go to the public gym.. you saying you are gonna tough it out sounds like you feel pretty lousy and might be contagious..

    If you've got negative comments don't bother >:)

    not sure what is negative about asking that you not contaminate a public gym with whatever it is that you are suffering from...

    What negative comments did you get that would deter you from asking for help or advice?

    From what I am reading there were sympathetic folks advising against the gym but encouraging you to do a little something if you felt up to it.

    Peoples reactions to illness, even the common cold are different, you have to go with the advice that is best for you.

    Why not do a modified/laid back workout that doesn't require spreading the cold to everyone using the equipment at the gym?

    ...And once again...I should read to the bottom before commenting.

    If you feel well enough to exercise then exercise. You might adjust your workout to something lighter though.
    I agree with not going to a gym if you are dripping fluids, coughing, contagious and just exercise at home or outside.
    Here is a workout you.might do-
