79. How to Work Out When You're Sick
Should you work out when you're sick? In this episode, I break down exactly what to do when you’re feeling under the weather but still want to stay active. Spoiler: It all depends on how you're feeling!
I share my personal experience of fighting off a lingering cold, how I adjust my workouts when I’m not 100%, and the best types of movement for different levels of sickness. Plus, I dive into the importance of listening to your body, fueling properly for recovery, and my favorite natural remedies to bounce back faster—including my go-to wet sock therapy (yes, it works!).
If you’ve ever wondered when to push through and when to rest, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ The key signs that indicate you should skip your workout altogether
✔️ The best types of movement for when you’re feeling run-down
