Does anyone here workout while sick? I don't because I'm

Your friend is an idiot.

I should clarify, I don't mean vomiting sick, but rather cold/flu sick.

it's not recommendable. while you're working out, your defenses become weaker. normally, a cold only attacks the lungs and respiratory apparatus and gets contained there. when your defenses are lowered, it is possible that the infection reaches vital organs or other parts of your body, like the brain.

ever heard the term "sweating it out"?

>>40342967
your friends advice is retardening

You can exercise lightly to "sweat it out" like some people say

... But if you really push your body, you might end up being sick for a long time like I did, which was not worth it

It's not very respectful to spread your sickness in the gym.

>>40342967
your friend is fucking stupid, you'll injure yourself

Only if I can still hit close to maximum intensity. I have a god tier immune system, though.
Thx marn crops

Depends. If I'm coughing anything up or feel nauseous I stay home. If it's in my head and I just don't feel 100% I go anyway.

Basically if it feels like anything spreadable I keep it to myself because I'm not a piece of shit.

u can get myocarditis from too exercising while having a cold
>work out sick
>bacteria and virus spread to heart via bloodstream
>heart gets weak and have issues pumping blood to rest of the body

a week after lifting while sick i had chest pains that spread to my left arm, im fine now but left untreated can give heart palpitations or even a heart attack

watch ur friend get a heart attack with that mentality

What other people are saying about not going to the gym is right. Dont get other people sick bro. Go for a run or do calisthenics though and try to "sweat it out" it actually works

Okay thanks for the advice bros. I also definitely agree about the not wanting to get other people sick part... just a few months ago I got hand-foot-and-mouth disease from some fuck at the gym.
