Question:
Should I exercise when I’m sick?
Answer:
Do the “neck check.” If the symptoms are above the neck (like a running or stuffy nose) then you can just do light exercise. But if you feel the symptoms below the neck (you’re actually heaving to catch breath, your stomach hurts, or you feel overall fatigue) then rest.
