Workout when you are sick

Cold-related ailments put us, the loyal fans of fitness, with a dilemma: to observe whether prescribed bed rest or, neglecting runny nose, cough and aches throughout the body, yet, to go to the gym? Fear to lose per week absenteeism muscle mass and get fat drives us to the path of the sport. Again, we know how hard it is to return to an active lifestyle after downtime... Stop! Stop and think: would you favor such zeal?


You have the flu




If you have the flu - no training. Temperature above 37, 5, aches chills, dry cough, diarrhea, vomiting, any of these symptoms means that today you have to give up sports. Otherwise be trouble: the flu and so becomes a serious strain on the heart, and as step aerobics or series of presses during illness can have very unfortunate consequences. Your health is deteriorating, and as a result you spend in bed even more time than expected. For flu patients the best medicine is rest with a minimum of movement, and needless diligence can lead to serious complications.




Doctors prescribe to give yourself a rest on the health of the entire week. If after this period the symptoms are gone, or at least weakened, you may again flow into the slender ranks of fitnessista, but gradually. Exhausting yourself serious loads, you run the risk of turning a common cold in some chronic disease. But moderate exercise will help you to recover without damage to health. Hiking at a slow pace and exercises that you can do at home (pushups, crunches) will improve blood circulation. Why at home? But because you have to be man-mannered and do not expose fellow hall of the danger of catching a disease. And don't worry that during the illness you will lose all of their earned with sweat and blood muscle. Experts say that in a one-week break loss of muscle mass is negligible.





And if it is not


You have a banal cold - you suffer from a runny nose or cough, but high temperature not? Then going to the gym is not vozbranyaetsya. However, you have to reduce the intensity.

And don't forget about good manners. You have to think not only about the heart rate or muscle, but also of his duty not to expose others to the risk of becoming infected. Remember that infections of the upper respiratory tract are distributed in two ways. When you sneeze, you literally rasprashivaete around many microscopic droplets of saliva containing the virus. But even if you wisely covered her mouth, do not be lazy then wash hands and only then to take on anything. Because viruses thrive on surfaces for sports equipment and are easily transferred to the hands of your colleagues in the hall. Ideally, you should carefully wipe a bench, dumbbells, barbell, in short, everything you touched.





And if you're sick don't you?


Gym autumn - high-risk, and precautions will be useful. For a start, at least clean the equipment prior to use. Try once again not to touch your face during a workout. This will reduce the likelihood of penetration of the mucosa of the nasopharynx pathogenic microbes. After a workout, wash your hands, and, for at least 30 seconds. But antibacterial soap may not use is important, not the soap, and the duration of the wash.
