    I think it depends on what kind of sick you are. From what I have read, if you are really tired, it is best to rest and then make it up the next day.

    hope you feel better soon! I work out no matter what, BUT I will say that if you just don't have it in you, take the day off. Sometimes you just need to give yourself a brake.......just don't do it too often :wink:

    I think a nap would help you recover faster than working out today. :yawn:

    I'm doing the sick mom scene today too. I'm sick, baby is sick, hubby is sick. I wanted to work out yesterday, but just couldn't get to it. Try to stay under on your cals without starving yourself, and get TONS of fluids and snoozes. If 2yo will sit on couch & watch TV, you can doze a little. That's the only time I let myself nod off is when I can feel my toddler sitting on my belly/feet/on couch. As soon as she moves I'm up!
    Also make sure to be a nazi about washing your hands & sneezing into your elbow so loved ones don't get what you have.

    Depends on how sick you are; if you just have a head cold from the neck up, chances are a little light exersize might help you. if it's in your lungs or you have another illness, I would take it easy today. The little one will keep you moving around enough. :happy:
    Feel better soon! :flowerforyou:

    I would take it easy today and try to stay under or at your calories intake.

    I'm right there with you. I have a head cold or allergies or something and well I went to the gym on Saturday...wasn't feeling it on Sunday but walked for a mile and yesterday was my normal off day. Today I am suppose to go back the gym but instead I am going to do the 30 day shred levels one and two. We'll see how it goes...wouldn't look too cool if I went to gym with a runny nose. Don't think people would appreciate that. hahaha

    Thanks everyone.
    I think I'll lie down with Emma today, then when I'm up and feel better I'll do the minimum of exercise, I do give my self one rest day a week so maybe today will that day, well see how i feel after.

    Goodnight:yawn: or afternoonnight:sick:
