What do you think is better when youre sick? Doing a light workout and sweating it all out or staying home and resting it off?

Do whatever feels comfortable to you.

Although you need to excersise to metabolize all that ****ing sick.

rest man, hands down. A case of the sniffles, I guess you can work through it.

But sleep in, rest up, and you'll get back to 100% soon enough. Anyone who says to "work through" a fever don't know **** about medicine.

I worked out while I was sick.. but only lifted weights. I never worked my ass off, just did sets of 8-10 of the same weight I would usually do 10-12; in other words I was giving 80%-90% of what I would usually do, and I added a little extra break in between. But do whatever fits you.

Actually working out or doing any sports activities while you are sick is very bad for your heart and liver. They put much more pressure on it, while it is already trying to fight off the illness. Can worsen your condition, so I suggest to rest a few and comeback healthy.

I'm just going to rest it off. I worked out hard on saturday. Took a break sunday, when I got sick, and yesterday which was monday. Today, tuesday, I almost feel back to normal, but still a bit tired and fatigued. I'm just going to rest today and get back tomorrow.

Oh yea, BrooklynBomber, I agree with what you said and I think that's true. Once I tried to workout while I was sick and it was horrible, not only could I not work hard, but any little push and punch made me feel like collapsing, and the next day I felt like fainting.

Don't be a ***got. Unless you have a virus which affects your heart, how will a light workout harm you?

I agree, no lightweights have ever amounted to ****. The 130-160lbs weight class is by far the weakest in boxing today...
