Last MOnday night I started feeling kind of sick, and by Tuesday morning I felt horrible. I had a fever, sore throat, and my whole body ached. The aches were on top of the leg soreness from my workout the day before. So I felt horrible.
I haven’t worked out all week, but now I am starting to feel better. As long as I take some tylenol I feel like a million bucks. My question is, should I still work out while I’m sick, or just take a week off? What does everyone think?
You’ve already taken a week off, and sounds like you’re feeling better. If you think you can, give it a shot and see how it feels. What you had isn’t the kind of thing that you will relapse into just from physical exertion–unless you totally exhaust yourself.
