I came down with Strep Throat this week and havent gone to train all week. I didnt really talk to the trainer but felt this was the best for me, also didnt want to get any other fighters sick as they have a competition coming up. Do you guys go to train when real sick or sit it out?

thats funny you made this thread cuz ive been sick for the past week and a half and just finally starting to feel better,ill probly be in the gym tommorow but no i havnt trained all week theres no way,but i guess it just depends on how you feel man......

lol yeah good timing. I'm sick as a dog too and even prior to this I sprained my wrist, so its basically been a month since ive trained. Im rotting :(

I never train when I'm sick, I focuss on getting better so I can train hard when I'm well again.

I never train when I'm sick anymore. I tried it once and I was sparring on that day. It was hell :(

Now I just wait to recuperate and then kick some ass :D

I still do a workout routine when I'm sick. I don't know how smart it is but I've never been one to let sickness stop me. But I do lessen the intensity a bit.

Personally no,

Training when sick is a universally bad idea. Sickness of any kind means the body (on a cellular level) is fighting constantly. It doesn't need any help from the rest of you. Sparring/training while sick wont (typically) get you sickER, but it will keep you sick LONGER because after training your body has to repair muslces, replace fatigue with new energy, AND combat whatever infections your dealing with.

i do and usually get better after i train, its Detox

If i have a little bit of a headache/cough or my leg is a bit sore i go in i usualy feel better after the first 30mins. Havnt been really really sick since i started boxing but no i wouldnt go in if i was.
