Exercising With A Cold?

Last week I came down with a bad cold, the kind of cold in which you can’t identify which symptom is worse the coughing, runny nose or the overall feeling of “blaaah”. I have always had this rule of thumb when it comes to exercise when you are sick; “if the cold is just in your head, you can exercise but if its in your chest...time to rest.” So taking my own advice, I decided to rest (well most days) but I did find that while I spent a lot of time resting, I did some simple easy stretches to my day, to my delight, it really helped on the muscle fatigue I was experiencing. Its always important to listen to your own body signals but if you can next time you find yourself in bed with a cold, add a little stretching to your cold it just might make you feel a little better!
