Is it beneficial to workout when you are sick ?!


Question: Is it beneficial to workout when you are sick ?
I have been going to the gym pretty steady. I am sick but I am thinking it's best just to suck it and push through at this point. Will any harm be done if I just push through my illness?...I have a virus; nothing serious.

Answers:

No, because working out takes up energy. That energy could have been used to fight the virus. It will only make your sickness worse, make you feel more tired, and make you sicker for a longer time.



dont work out while your sick. its very unhealythy. because when your body is sick its blood cells are fighting off bacteria and when you burn off energy while your sick it makes you tired and your body wont work as hard.



I guess it depends on the type of workout. I went my Zumba classes last week when I had a mild cold and I felt a lot better after working out.



It will probobly help heal you.
