Going to the Gym and being Ill!!!! - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Lauren · 24-10-2005, 12:07 PM

OK, I am feeling really guilty as I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks as had a rotton cold.
Still cannot shift it and got a real runny nose and bunged up, just generally felling grotty! :boohoo:

My question is should I crack back on this week at the gym???

Im not feeling like death, but just snotty and bunged up!

What are you thoughts!?

RAIKEY · 24-10-2005, 12:11 PM

i got told by a doc ...if its not flu, then your fine.....

i go back with cold ,headaches. the lot, and it make me feel better usually

plus 2 weeks !?..if it is just a cold it should be in its final stage now anyway.

ps remember i,m not a medical doctor (just a love one!) so i cant really give advice. x

Lauren · 24-10-2005, 12:17 PM

Its been such a pain, got the cold about 2 weeks ago and felt rubbish, then last week it had more or less gone, then Friday last week it came back again as when I first got it.
Its driving me mad.

But as you say Raikey its not flu so should be ok in the gym, if I can stop my nose runnig for 2 secs to actually pick something up LOL!!!!

RAIKEY · 24-10-2005, 12:21 PM

ewww .LOL...

that reminds me of a bloke in our gym ..picks his nose constantly...we all avoid the dumbells hes been using.

i would have a word but hes a big ****!

Lauren · 24-10-2005, 12:24 PM

Yo Lauren,I aways use Echinacea when i get rough,I'm not really into herbal stuff at all but i was told this was really good stuff and tryed it and sure enough it done the trick sis.Some people take 1 a day all the time but i just slam 3 into me when i feel a cold or something else coming on!Get well soon chick

P.S i have'nt had a cold in about 18months;)

romeo69 · 24-10-2005, 01:15 PM

why train when ur ill? your lifts and stamina would be down, wouldnt the quality of the lifting sessions be more productive than the quantity?

Killerkeane · 24-10-2005, 07:05 PM

I have been taking 500mg Vitaman C the last few months....dont know if it's coincedence but i havnt been ill with anything. ((I think i have seriously jynxed myself now)...it has been proven to boost your immune system so give it a go.
