The transition between summer and fall can be tough, and it’s not unusual to start feeling a little bit under the weather as you’re trying to adjust. If you don’t feel like missing your workout because of a cold, these are the best exercises you can do without putting your body under too much stress.
Jogging
It’s safe to go for a light run when you have a cold, as long as your symptoms are above the neck and you’re not pushing your body to the limits. Fresh air could do you good, but running on a treadmill is always an option if you don’t feel like heading outside.
Stationary Bike
You’re allowed to set your own pace on a stationary bike, and take a break whenever it feels like you’re pushing it too far. It’s also easy to free your hands without losing control whenever you feel like your nose is running or you’re about to sneeze.
Home Workouts
It’s totally understandable if you don’t feel like going to the gym and being surrounded by people when you’re under the weather. If you still want to stay active, doing a couple of light exercises at home is always an option and you can easily stop once it feels like too much.
