    Definitely no snotty nose or coughing. Congestion makes it too hard to train also.

    Oh please do not go to the gym when your sick. If there is any sort of fluid coming out of any orifice uncontrollably, stay home! If you insist on going, please take antibacterial wipes and wipe down any machine you touch.

    Depends what you're sick with, but I personally wait until I'm fully better as your body is already working hard to get rid of the illness particularly anything flu like or stomach upsets. "sweating it out" doesn't work and can make you worse, listen to your body and if it says rest then do so, start back slowly aswell as any illness takes a lot of energy out of you. Feel better soon x

    General rule is neck and up, you are ok to work out... if it's below the neck, then you need to stay home.
