Going to gym when ill?

[rUinSAYAN]

easy and fast. good or bad?

cause I want to but I don't know if that is stupid like every thing else I do

Yes

No

If you have a fever it's a big no-no! The danger is exercising and raising your body temperature internally if you already have a fever, because that can make you even sicker.

It it's a miner cold than there's no problem. Unless you have bronchitis!

And think about your fellow people. Don't make other people in the gym sick! Virusses can easily pass in a gym.

No rest well first. No good to work out when sick, your body need rest

[BertMacklinFBI]

depends how ill you are. I've gone while sick before and it made me feel better hahaa :D but i was like on the verge of getting officially sick so yeah.

[mystogan]

you need to let your body fix itself first

[kambo_trick3y]

Don't overstress yourself, being sick is also not the right time to hit the weights.

HOWEVER, eating something respectable (hot chicken noodle soup is a pretty good staple) and then going for a light jog on the machine or on ground can actually be beneficial if you aren't suffering from something too serious (raising your body temperature from exercise can help fight some common colds).

[rUinSAYAN]

I actually go 155 bpm when I'm at the gym. I do weight training, so I better not?

[kambo_trick3y]

Yeah, it's better to cool down a bit.

Do some light cardio, get your body temperature up, don't stress yourself too hard. The goal is to just give your body a light kickstart into recovery.

[rUinSAYAN]

I've heard cardio is something for people who tend to gain weight easily. I am the opposite, I think cardio would make me just loose weight and my goal is to get more

[Ghosty]

It can make you feel better temporarily, like "awake".. But first you won't be able to get a full power workout and second, you should give your body the time to recover from the illness. Eat enough so you don't loose your gaiinzz

[rUinSAYAN]

lol gains. I actually worry how I can keep em and I had already a week of no gym. I think I am not even getting enough food together as I always keep at 143lbs (65kg)

[Ghosty]

If your metabolism is as good as mine, you might need a kcal intake of 3500+ to build undefined mass. Mine is a beast but I prefer to eat about normal, so I can't increase my mass so fast, but what I gain is already defined and not bulky :)

[rUinSAYAN]

I also can't find myself increasing in weightlifts. I always keep the benchpress at 50kg and I want to go over the 60kg mark but I can't do 15 times when I go higher, also I am not buying proteine shakes now as I think I need to spare some money for else

[Ghosty]

I'm not into supplements either. You're young, Strength doesn't increase fast either. You should eat a lot then. If you can do it 12+, increase weight to keep the reps 5-8 times.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Not good to work-out or exercise when sick , your resistance is down from
being sick this is what i hear doctors say, you sweat go in A/C or go in out in cold

[Axel101]

I'm working out too and I was sick two weeks ago, I just skipped a week and continued to go next week, no problem.

[Duryodhan]

IN one word- NO, your body needs all the energy to recover. Gyms are often filled with sweat, germs, etc. so dont risk a reinfection.

[delrey]

No you'll make everyone sick! When I was little I went to church sick and everyone caught it lol! Even the pastor caught it.
