Do any of you train when you are sick? I've been knocked out with a respiratory infection for the last two weeks. I took 4 days off from training, but couldn't bear to stay away from school for much longer, so I started stumbling my way back through classes.
My nurse has told me "rest and fluids." I'm OK with fluids, but there's only so much rest I can take. Although...from everything that I have read about exercise...exercising while one is sick is not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm curious as to what you folks have found. Do you think that training prolongs the course of this sort of thing? Or do these damn viral infections make you feel like hell for 2-3 weeks anyway, whether or not you train?
