Is it bad to participate in a semi-intense cardiovascular workout while recovering from a flu-like infection?

Question

I've had a runny nose and been coughing for 3 days, i feel as though im getting a little better and have enough energy to run. is this a bad idea? what do professional athletes do when they get sick?

Answer 1

I have no medical background, but I swear it works for me every time I get cough/cold flu like stuff. Every time I feel like I'm way sick or getting something, I work out as intensely as possible to the point where I feel like I am going to pass out, then I go & take the hottest shower possible, then the next morning I feel like 90% better. So in my opinion its a good thing. I've heard you can sweat out a cold --- same thing with flu???

Pimpy! How yaaaaaaa been bruddah from anudda mudda? regrettably, my babby is properly ill, because of the fact a pig coughed on him and gave him the swine flu! How terrible? undergo in recommendations, do not eat mexican pigs, and you'd be large (;
