Depends if you have a fever or not. You don’t want to end up dehydrating if you have a fever. If it’s a simple cold, a little exercise might help you sweat it out. If you have a viral infection. I would avoid exercise until you aren’t contagious and you would recover quicker without putting strain on the body. To be safe. Just do light walking. And drink lots of electrolytes. 

Thank you so much.

I find it virtually impossible to do anything when I'm really sick I feel like you'd know when you're too sick, nothing wrong with taking a break either; just do keep your diet spot on over that period because the lack of intake will hurt the return workout 

Rather slow down, don't think it is good for your heart. My opinion  

Appreciate the advice! Thank you @dex_carr and @Johann22016 

hi! health care professional here! you should rather rest and take it slow* vigorous exercise could lead to thd virus/bactetia in your lungs spreading you your heart muscle (myocarditis) - which can be very dangerous. why not try gentle yoga and stretching instead?  

Agree with everyone, not good for the hart mussels...let your chest clear 1st...gain energy then start slow till you gain your strength 

your body needs to rest and requires all your energy to heal itself. exercising puts strain on your heart and body resulting in you not recovering and you can get worse. 

Thank you all so very much. I was felt so bad as I just recommitted to living a healthy lifestyle and then I got sick.  

Dont exercise unless you have a desire for heart and lung issues later in life 

When you are ill definately no apart from maybe some bedtime easy stretches. 

Do not exercise when you’re suffering from a viral illness (and bacterial infection for that matter) your heart is a muscle and just like you get overall fatigue when you’re sick putting your heart under strain by doing exercise can increase your chance of having a heart attack or causing damage. Rather stay in bed, rest and drink lots of water; some stretching is good to keep moving but nothing too hectic when you’re feeling 50% better you can go for short walks and only when you’re 100% I would suggest getting back to your exercise routine. 

I was reading your comments about just sticking to your exercise routine, it’s terrible but unfortunately you have to rest. You can go on short walks just to keep a little active but only when you’re at 50% and keep up your eating habits. But you do need rest. 

Don't overdo it because it's bad for your heart. Light stretches and plenty rest  

Just rest for 3 days! Drink lots of Warm water, nourish your body and binge watch a few good documentaries like 'My Octopus Teacher' ☺ Get well soon!  

Thank you all so much. I am almost 100% and will start training again on Monday. I really appreciate you all as you helped to ease my conscious. Thank you.  

Just take a 5 min walk and give your body a break especially if you are on antibiotics
