What do you do when you're sick? Do you diet? Do you exercis

I read somewhere that exercise can relieve flu symptoms. I really don't know if that's true or not. I don't get sick often like I used to, so I haven't really had a chance to find out. Knock on wood.

I have severe allergy attacks a couple times a year. I stay on the same calorie track, but I refrain from working out for a few days... if it sustains and lasts forever like they usually do, I go to gym anyway.. maybe one less day a week or something..

Hi I'm sick at the moment I've had the flu for the last week and haven't worked out at all unless you count chasing my three kids around as working out. All I've wanted to do all week is sleep but sadly my little monsters can't be left so ive had to keep going. As for food I've tried to stick to the same calorie goal but the main problem I have had is drinking. I don't know why but whenever I'm ill I really struggle to drink. Strange thing is I've lost 3lb this week which most of it I think is due to dehydration so I'm sure it will be back she. I'm better.

They say... any symptoms below the neck and stay away from the gym until you are better!

I can sometimes sweat out a head cold, but if I have a chesty cough like I do at the moment then I am staying away until it has cleared.

Stomach bugs- forget it! I feel far too weak without proper food and secondly er...imagine losing control of your bodily functions on the treadmill haha!

Just get better first. I would suggest that you skip the gym if you are coughing and such. I am def. not a germ aphob, but a couple weeks ago I was next to someone on the treadmill and they were coughing ,hacking phleming and sweating all over,where it was actually flying off them and hitting my treadmill...ewwwww. Best to wait and go when you are feeling a bit better.
