Do you workout when you're sick?

I really want to do some cardio but I feel run down from what seems to be a cold virus creeping in.

I really want to do some cardio but I feel run down from what seems to be a cold virus creeping in.

The rule I usually follow- if it's a neck-up kind of sick (headache, runny nose, sore throat, etc) I still go workout.

If it's a neck down kinda sick, sleeping it off.

if its chest congestion and I cant catch my breath? I will lift..just a little slower

If I feel like absolute death, I won't train.
If it's just a cold or headache, suck it up :P

It depends on how sick I am and what kind of sick.
If its a minor cold, I'm def going to the gym. Anything stomach related, most likely no. Fever, nope. Chest congestion, possibly.. I have severe asthma so it all depends on how badly the chest congestion is affecting my breathing.

Honestly it's up to you.
Think about the bigger picture, is missing a single cardio session today going to ruin you and your goals? Will it hurt if its caught up in 2 days time? (Assuming this is a lifestyle )

Personally, if I'm a little sniffly, have a headache or just some minor aches I'll go lift/run. But if I feel like I've been hit by a semi-trailer i.e. heavy eyes, coughing, phlegm, fatigue etc I won't go. Not only for my sake but for the sake of not getting others sick.
