Hi,
I did something a little stupid, in my opinion, yesterday, wanted to get some thoughts and feedback.
I train 6 days a week and am very fit and healthy. (3 yoga sessions, 3 sessions of cardio/weights) Unfortunately my kids give me colds all the time, most of which just involve a stuffy nose and feeling a bit weak, nothing serious. So I still do my workouts, without too much hassle, would you believe.
However yesterday, I had a fever, and I felt like hell. I took 2 Panadols and went to a hot yoga class, the room was 38 degrees.
Yeah, I know, irresponsible and stupid.
However.....during the class I felt great and afterwards so much better. Today I am so-so, but no more fever.
So, the question is, is doing hot yoga a good idea for people with a fever? It made me feel better....or was that just coincidence? My instincts say I should never do this again, but the reality was, it didnt' harm me.
Also, for all you exercise-addicts out there, do you ever train when you have colds? Do you just drop the instensity and plod on? I try to exercise myself out of illness and it usually works but I am interested to know how other people handle it, particularly women during heavy and painful menstrual cycles. I find weight training hell during my period, for example, but i still do it.
Looking forward to responses.
