Aaarrghhh!!! I have a cold!
This really sucks. I just upped the intensity a notch in my workouts and now I get cold. What would you guys recommend when it comes to working out and having a cold?
Of course most people will just tell me to rest and take it easy, but I can't afford to take time away from the gym. You see, I'm in training right now because I'm getting ready to join up with the military. I'm still uncertain as to when I'll be off to basic training, but for now I'm trying to get in the best shape I can and I don't have that much time to do it.
Is it okay to work out with a cold? Should I just lift moderate weights and not go all out?
Help!Make sure you stretch before you lift!

I've got a cold as well, and it sucks big time. I had to take a week off for injuries, then I got a cold, so it's been two weeks since I've had a GOOD workout.

Working out with a cold is fine. As long as there is no fever and/or congestion in the lungs you are good to go. Drink liquids, take your vitamin C, and up your glutamine and you'll be fine in no time!

No I haven't had any flu symptoms, just a plain ol' cold. There were a few times the other day where I was coughing up a lung during my leg presses but I tried to hold on to it until I finished my set.
I actually feel better when I'm doing my workout, my throat tends to clear up a bit, and so does my nose. But it really sucks.
With all the supplements available for athletes, you'd figure they would have something solid for colds! Anyway.Make sure you stretch before you lift!
