Lets assume a generally healthy person who exercises regularly that caught a common cold. I've heard so much conflicting advice on this that I don't know what to think.
Some people talk about the above the neck / below the neck thing. How about this? If the cold is in your head then go ahead but if its in your chest then take a rest (just made up the rhyme)
I'm generally too stubborn to stop (though I do slow down a bit) and while I feel OK while doing the exercise I almost always feel bad the next day (though I can't tell if I would feel like that anyway)
What about saunas or hot baths?
your thoughts?

rest rest rest. Its common sense, the more you rest the sooner you will recover. Although you may be able to exercise with a cold it will prolong the illness. I have exercised with a cold and my cold lasted for weeks, it just would not go away, it was miserable.
