    if its a head cold you should be fine. i workout all the time with head colds..it sucks but it doesnt hurt anything.

    now if you devolop a fever or any chest congestion I wouldnt..

    I had the same problem this week and decided to rest. I was convinced I'd fight this cold, but lost the fight as I ended up exhausted.
    Rest up for a couple of days and you'll feel better for it :smile:
