]]>For some people, the idea of being mobile seems like it could help them feel better. According to infectious disease specialist Amesh Adalja, MD, there’s no research to suggest that exercise helps you overcome illness. In fact, overexertion could make you feel worse. Still, there are hormones that are released that can make you feel good independent of your illness, which means that you’ll have to be careful when deciding what exercise to do.
Sports medicine physician Jessalynn Adam, MD explained that working out is alright so long as the symptoms you experience are all above the neck, meaning a sore throat, runny nose, or nasal congestion. She added that you should only do low-intensity workouts, though, and stay clear of anything too challenging such as HIT or heavy strength training and too much cardio.

]]>The fact of the matter is, every situation is different. There are certain sicknesses where it would be absolutely the worst idea ever to work out, such as if you’re feeling faint or with a strong fever. There are certain times when it’s clear that water and rest is all you need. So when do you know that it’s okay to exercise?
The best time to work out when sick is when you start to get a feel for life around you. If you’re still sick, but are starting to feel like getting up and eating some nourishing meals, it may be also time to get a workout in. Bear in mind that even if you work out when you’re sick, you should still take it easy. You never want to overexert yourself and do too much too fast after being sick.
