When you finally do start with your workouts, avoid being too harsh on yourself. You may also consult your doctor for advice on when you can start your workout and the intensity of workouts. Your body temperature is already high and exercising will not only cause your heart rate to increase but also dehydrate your body. Avoid working out even when you have a fever. For e.g., while recovering from a respiratory illness wait at least 2 weeks after your symptoms have resolved to start your workouts. Wait until your body decides you’re ready for it. Wait until you have gained enough strength. Wait until your symptoms have disappeared. Routine exercise increases immunity, but overtaxing your body could lead to a drop in immunity for the next 24 hours. One’s immune system isn’t back to its full strength after fighting off an illness. It is a known fact that after a long illness, your cardio-respiratory fitness has drastically diminished and all your body energy is drained fighting the infection and jumping back to routine can do more harm than good. On the contrary, after a week or maybe a month-long of nasty illness, returning to regular exercise regimens can be a challenge. Ideally, suffering from a common cold with the usual symptoms of a runny nose, or a sore throat is not a good reason to skip your exercise instead exercising in this condition can help speed up your recovery. One could risk a muscle sprain or a tear. Your muscles would have been idle for weeks and will get sore a lot quicker. Overtaxing your body after a prolonged illness can be risky. Returning to exercise after sickness can be strenuous on the body and even intensify the symptoms of a sickness. No questions about the health benefits of exercising, however, strenuous exercises while recovering from a serious illness can be hazardous. ”How sick is too sick to exercise? When can I resume my workout?”, these questions can haunt anyone who strictly follows an exercise routine. ![]()
