Shred when you're sick?

Hi everyone! I was just wanting an opinion on this. I know they can vary, so feel free to join in! I am not feeling well... I don't believe that I am "sick" as in "need an anitbiotic", but I have a lot of drainage, and a sore, swollen throat. I am just plain tired!
So do I try to shred anyway? I always waffle between sucking it up and working out (or at least trying to) or taking a day to rest so I can try to recover more quickly. Recovering quickly is a plus for me right now, since my husband is deployed and I don't have any help around the house and with the kids.
What do you guys think?! Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I've read that if the head is above the shoulders it is ok to workout, but below then no. I always go on how I'm feeling though. If you feel really awful it is better to rest and let your body get better.0

Not a doctor, don't play one on TV..., but, i've found that doing some cardio does help...I just make sure I have tissues with me.
But, if you find that you can't breathe properly...Stop! Get rest! No point in killing yourself.
Get well, and may the Shred be with you!0 -
Thanks guys! I took your advice and TRIED. Failed miserably but tried!
I should've known it was futile since I barely made it through yesterday's shred and wasn't feel nearly as badly yet. I couldn't even make it through the windmills! My arms felt like lead and, more importantly, my chest started aching.
I might just have to trudge off to the doctor on Monday if it's in my chest!
On the bright side, though, I got in a solid five workouts this week and that's more than I had been doing! So, it's still forward-moving progress!! And I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the support!

Hope you feel better! Have some nice green tea, hot bath, and relax.0
