RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Should we exercise if we're sick? If common cold, YES. The endorphin burst from exercise helps to boost our immune system. If we have the slightest fever, NO. A fever means we're contagious. That means we're likely going to give it to others & we can easily pick up new viruses/bacteria from a germ infested place like a gym. Protein after exercise is another great way to boost our immune system.
