RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Should we exercise if we're sick? If it's just a regular, common cold, then YES. The exercise can give us an endorphin burst to boost our immune system to fight it. While at the gym make sure to wipe down everything you use, and make sure to wash your hands before leaving. If it's a fever or flu, then NO. When we have a fever we're contagious to others, and more open to picking up bacteria at the gyms which are breeding grounds for germs.
