Reply With QuoteI do not, if you're sick your body is putting a lot of energy into fighting off the sickness, adding additional stress from training is not going to help matters.
My rule of thumb is don't train if you're sick.

I agree with Prince on that one, although it really depends on how sick i feel. If i'm coughing/sneezing and feel like complete shit i will take off until i'm 100% (i found that when i hit the gym when i'm feeling better fucks me up). If its just a little head cold i'll hit the gym but with less effort.

it's a bummer and throws off your routine but alas it's just one of those things that can't always be avoided...
just listen to your body... if you just have a slight cough, runny nose or sore throat and feel that it won't put too much of a damper on your body or work out then i say go ahead... but i usually know when i'm too sick to train due to a lack of energy...
