    Don't exercise til you are feeling better. lots of sleep/rest and if you're worried about too many calories take 1000-2000 mg of vitamin C each day until you're better. (I take 1000 mg a day and have, every day for 2 yrs and haven't been sick once. if i feel I'm getting sick I double up for a couple days. I swear by it!)

    I went through the same thing a few weeks ago, and exercised through it. MISTAKE. Your body is telling you it needs rest and adding the stress of exercise isn't beneficial. (In my own opinion, of course.) Eat healthy and rest until your body tells you you're better enough to handle the stress of exercise. If you absolutely have to, maybe a very short brisk walk would help you feel as if you made some progress without too much stress on whatever your body is fighting. Good Luck!

    I am sick too. I try to walk a little and try to stretch so I don't get stiff. I was on day 8 of the 30 day shed and got the cold that is going around the city I am in. I am trying to eat healthy and do small things. My boyfriend scolds me for not exercising and doing my video and it makes me feel bad.
