I'm Sick..Should I Exercise?

This week was a challenging week for me. It was busy at work and my bike to work commutes were limited due to extremely cold weather. By mid week I was feeling run down and not sleeping well. Wednesday saw the arrival of Mr. Flu Bug....This was not in my plan. I just started a nice new ramped-up training routine. And now….Sick. 

News Flash!! Everybody gets sick. But it’s tough to know what to do about it; do you exercise or go to work when sick or not?

Guess what? Fitting in some exercise when sick isn’t always a bad idea. In fact, if you play it right, moving your body can actually promote immunity and help you fight the bug.

Should you “sweat it out” or stay home and get some rest instead?
