Not feeling well

I was just wondering if you should rest when you are not feeling well or if you should keep trying to exercising as normal.

It depends, if you have a fever or vomiting then you should definitely rest; if you just have a cold, feel free to exercise if you're feeling up to it. Listen to your body, if it says rest, then rest. Also, don't forget to get plenty of fluids.0

I would rest a few days then work back into your routine.0 -
I give myself a couple days off to rest and make myself feel better before I try. At least get back to 90% feeling human. :flowerforyou:0

You should rest, but just don't use that as an excuse to never exercise.0

Thanks everyone! I rested yesterday and when I went to bed last night I felt just terrible so I didn't set the alarm to get up and workout this morning and slept in....This morning I feel quit a bit better so maybe since I missed my regular workout I will take the kiddos and the dog for a walk so at least I will get some calories burned!0

there's a theory that if your symptoms are in your head, you're okay to exercise, but If they are other places...chest, stomach, you shouldn't for risk of heart problems. I also just start my workout and if I don't feel better a few minutes in, i stop.0
