A member asked:

Should one do excercise when down with cold and headache?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

If you feel like it: I hope your cold and headache feel better soon. I would not feel like exercising if I had a cold and a headache but no harm will happen if that's what you want to do.

Rest: There is nothing to be gained by exercising while you are otherwise ill. Skipping a day or so to give your body some rest is not going to hurt.
