Intense exercise?

[Anonymous]

So I just got over the flu a few days ago but I have a bit of a chesty cough from it and a small bit of fatigue at times. Is it safe for me to go do high intensity exercise tomorrow?

As a guy going to school to be a personal trainer I have to recommend that you give yourself a few more days of rest that chesty cough could get worse if you wear down your immune system and you don't want it to come back or get more serious, play it safe.

I mean you can exercise if you want to but you run the risk of making your cough worse.

I lift weights all the time when I'm sick. I've worked far too hard to let my physique go. But I take the weight down and wait until I feel better to hit it hard again. I'd recommend that you do the same, although there's nothing wrong (and it's actually good) to take a day off to rest here and there.

maybe use a balance beam instead?
