Question:

Answers:
NO if you strain your body your muscles wil weaken and you wil grow more tirred and weaker the best thing you can do is bedrest and lots of hot soup!

Other Answers:
You'll get worse, you need to rest and let your body use it's resources to fight the cold instead of cope with your exercising.

when you have a cold your immune system is lower than its normal level which could trigger another type of cold or sickness. its advised to rest when you have a cold to build your immune system back up to where it belongs. I would do a mild work out at home. So that you will not get anymore germs being outside in the cold.


No! Your body needs to use it's energy to get better. It's just a few days, man.


you should continue to exercise some..just take it down a notch.

time to rest Stay as warm as possible and see your doctor to get antibiotic's


I always listen to my body.
If I feel unusually tired i take it easy- the body needs its resources to fight infections. On the other hand if I feel restless I let myself do things- prehaps it helps the circulation to clear out residues at the end of an illness.
Basically our bodies have been dealing with colds a long time ,and they know what they need, whatever beliefs people may have.


It depends. "Going outside" isn't going to make your cold worse, so if you're feeling up to going out for a walk, by all means, do it. You do need rest, but sometimes getting some fresh air, and getting your blood pumping a little can actually make you feel better. I wouldn't run or do anything really vigorous until you're back to normal. If you have a fever >100 F however, it would be best to rest and heal.
