Working out with a cold

I felt this way last week and actually took two days off (per advice from my trainer). Sometimes your body just needs a rest. If you do workout just do low to moderate exercise. Your body is already battling.

I think the usual advice is: Above the neck, workout. Full body, rest. (Google it?)

I had a very mild cold last week and worked out and it was fine. But it was mild, and I was doing like, indoor pilates. If you have a sore throat, going running in the cold might not be the best idea, for example.

If you're craving the workout, I am guessing you are well enough and it won't hurt you. Use good judgement about what you're doing, where, the pace, etc. I find it can even help, and it is at least a nice distraction from symptoms.
