Yesterday I went to the gym coughing on the way, with just a slight headache, because I didn't want to skip a day. The workout was mediocre and I felt even worse afterwards.
Today, I should've gone normally, but decided to stay at home, since I believe working out while sick only prolongs it, and I doubt you can make great progress, anyway(?).
So today, I was mad all day and felt like destroying things at home because I had never missed a workout before - 100 percent consistent until this day.
Hopefully, tomorrow I will be fine as I didn't work out today, if not, I'm going to be mad as hell and go train anyway.
So, the question is: how okay is it to work out when you're sick? Consequences? Cheers.

For me, it depends on how bad my fever is. If it's a slight fever; just a warm body but not energy-draining, workout will actually make me feel a lot better .
If it's worse, I would try to workout anyway, but I won't do as good as I can though. As far as my fever goes, doing workout never prolongs it, probably because it's not an injury.[Watdo?] - Want (''should'' for you naggers) bulk.

If you have fever, I'd say...stay home. Also, if you are sneezing/coughing...you will make everybody else sick. This is pretty unrespectful.
Consequences of working out while being sick is a shitty work out. Your energy level is low, you are fatigued, your hormones level are ****ed up...chances are you had poor sleep and poor nutrition. What is the point to go to the gym if you are 99% sure to have poor performance?
Also, your body is busy to eliminate the virus, your recovery wont be good.
A light work out (some cardio, light weight, stretching, etc.) can be good though. It is not grueling and it can boost your metabolism. You will feel better after and I heard it helps to fight virus better. But keep it really easy.☆ ☆ QUEBEC CREW ☆ ☆
