I know what you are saying but people often forget that going to the gym 6 days a week -does- take a toll on your body's immunity and thus does make you more prone to getting sick. If you are sick, concentrate on getting rid of our cold/flu before hitting the gym again then you can go back fully recovered and give it your all. Think of eating as best you can to give your body the nutrients its need when you can. I know that when have a cold or flu, you lose your appetite but keep in mind that when you start feeling hungry or start feeling like some foods are tempting again, that is when you start to get better Plus, there is no sense in spreading your cold/flu to people at the gym You might suprise yourself when you go back to the gym; you'll hopefully have had enough time off to recover fully and your energy levels will be higher than when you left the gym for the cold medicine At least, that is what happened to me. Before I got sick, I felt slightly run down and when I went back I was a lot more energetic. Hope you feel better soon! Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
