I've found that with a chronic illness I have so long as I can physically do the workout over all my health improves and I heal faster. Also I find normally, even though the illness is draining energy, for some reason while lifting almost all the energy for lifting is still there.

So what is Poal's opinion? Should you workout / keep your normal active schedule as much as possible while sick so long as you aren't severely ill, or just sit there, miss meals etc?

I got a cold. Last night I stayed up 2 hours between 2am-4am. Worst seemed to be last night.

Light fever, chronic fatigue today. Did this workout -

First workout was probably a mistake for a light fever. Lots of running in place. Second no issues. Was all core work.

Overall feel better. Throat feels like I took a run outside in the cold.

My guess after I work up an appetite, eat and get a full night sleep I'll be feeling like a whole lot more bucks tomorrow.

stop exercising until you feel better, double dose vit c, and eat properly.
