What is a girl to do when she's sick?

I have a mean cold and haven't worked out since last Monday. Is it best to stay rested? Does that even matter?

    If it's just a head cold, you can work out at your own discretion. If it's a respiratory infection and/or includes vomiting/diarrhea, you should stay home and rest. The little rule goes:
    "Above the neck go, below the neck no."

    I like that rule. That's handy to know.
