A Hello and a Question About Being Sick
Hi, my name is Dani. I'm new to this forum and BodyBuilding. I joined because my friend encouraged me to enter the competition, but also because I really want to be healthy and in shape. I live in Western Canada with my husband and son. I have a 2 year old that's still breastfeeding, but I'm hoping a new exercise plan will help to wean him. I feel like I'm always busy. Just starting a new career as a financial advisor and also working on illustrations so I can be a picturebook author *faints*
Okay, on to my question. I was working out just before Christmas... maybe 2-3 times a week. Then I got sick with a cold (coughing a lot and having a hard time breathing). I'm over that now, but my son is sick with another cold and I'm afraid I'm going to get sick again. I hope not and will take preventative measures, but I still want to work out while sick.
I've been told that it's bad to work out while sick, but I find that there are days that I can do things (especially with a cold) even if they aren't to the same level as when I'm well. My question is do I need to stop working out if I get a bad cold, or are there exercises I can do if breathing is an issue? Any exercises would be good, because I don't want to stop completely. TIA for any help you can give!
