Who ever is on i need opinions RIGHT NOW

Hey girls
Its 4:20 and i will need to leave for the gym in about a half hour.
If you saw my post yesterday, you may have seen that i think im coming down w/ a cold. My nose is feeling better but im VERY tired and a bit achey.

I have my friends wedding this wkd in Montreal so..... I prob shouldnt go to the gym huh? What if i skip cardio?

Im a GYM RAT and i feel INCREDIBLY guilty when i dont workout. Esp since I wont be able to workout Thurs-Sun bc I will be away

THOUGHTS?????????????

It's ok to miss one day!
You deserve a missed day every now and then..especially if you're not feeling good!

Well, maybe go if you would feel bad about it, but knock your workout down a few notches? Your body is probably working hard to fight off your cold so too much exercise might take a lot more out of you.

skip it..its fine...if you want to get better you need to rest and relax..if you push too hard you might get worse

Re: Who ever is on i need opinions RIGHT NOW

as a germ-phob, i would say dont go to the gym... u could spread what u have or get sicker.

but if u MUST go, skip the cardio- it will stir up the phlegm and make you more tired.
and keep washing your hands...

I've read sometimes that you are still supposed to work out, that exercize gets your blood flowing and that sweating is good for you. I've also read that you should rest, not push yourself, drink plenty of fluids (and not sweat out and dehydrate yourself like you would at a gym.)

Personally, I'm sick right now, (and leaving for Mexico in four days ) and I can't wait to go home, lie down, and read! Working out will have to wait.

You're already fighting something - don't wear yourself out AND expose yourself to all of the gym germs.

Definitely skip the gym. If you don't you could get much sicker and have to miss more than a day or two at the gym! If you are feeling really achy you may want to go to the doctor, it could be the flu!

Don't go, stay home and rest, it will be worse if you get even more sick!

Once again-SAUNA (if your gym has one of course). Feel better!

Oh no... You would of been better in a couple of days. Then just go home and rest, drink a lot of fluids and try to sweat it out under the blankets...no gym for you!

Re: Who ever is on i need opinions RIGHT NOW

1st I hope you feel better!

2nd Definitely take it easy...missing one day of cardio will not hurt you....I swear!

I would rationalize it this way. If you don't feel good your not going to do a good workout. Your almost wasting your time right:) When your feeling better, and especially since you skipped, you will be working out twice as hard and you will burn double the calories
