Getting a nasty bug is never a lot of fun and as well as
causing cough, sneezes and snorts also messes with your ability to put in good
day’s work, get a good night’s sleep, and have a decent workout. So how long
after you start to feel better can you can go back to pounding the pavement,
swinging the clubs and hitting the weights?
The general rule tends to depend on how your body was
affected by the bug. Anything above the neck tends not to be too much of a
worry, such as a scratchy throat or a runny nose (with the obvious exception of
swollen glands or a really horrible sore throat). Anything below the neck
however, such as stomach symptoms, fever, and body aches, should take a bit
more time to get over.
In any event, when you are feeling a little better you
should still do not much more than warm up exercises; a bit of stretching or
walking, perhaps. Anything more strenuous too soon and you risk making yourself
ill again.
