Should you skip or keep your workout if you're sick? Here's how to tell

Updated December 25, 2020

As a personal trainer and yoga and Pilates instructor, I like to provide a wide variety of exercises and workouts that people can do regardless of their situation, health limitations or mood. So my clients ask me this question all the time: If I feel sick, should I exercise or rest?

作为一名私人教练及瑜伽和普拉提教练，我喜欢为人们提供各种各样的运动和锻炼，不管他们在哪里，健康状况受限或情绪如何，都可以进行这些锻炼。所以我的客户总是问我这个问题：如果我觉得不舒服，我应该锻炼还是休息？

The immediate answer is complicated, but with an assessment of your symptoms, you'll have the confidence to decide more quickly. And, if the answer is to skip your workout, there is still an exercise or two that you can do to help you feel less sick.

要立即回答是很复杂的，但通过对症状的评估，你将有信心更快地做出决定。而且，如果答案是不去锻炼，你仍然可以做一两项运动来帮助你感觉不那么难受。

With cooler winter temperatures in full force, cold and flu season is here. On average, Americans have two or three colds every year, according to the US Centers for Disease Control or Prevention. This may wipe you out for seven to 10 days per cold. If you add in other symptoms, like an upset stomach, a fever or a cough, you may be looking at even more downtime.

Here are the five most common scenarios if you've fallen ill -- and how you can decide if you should exercise or take it easy.

随着冬季气温的下降，感冒和流感季节已经到来。根据美国疾病控制和预防中心的数据，美国人平均每年感冒两到三次。每次感冒可能会使你7到10天都无精打采，如果再加上其它症状，比如肚子痛、发烧或咳嗽，你可能就需要更多的休息时间了。以下是五种最常见的病状，及如何决定应该锻炼还是放松。

Head cold

感冒

Work out. If your symptoms include common ones like a runny nose and congestion, just scale back your workout to make it less intense. Working out with a cold may actually help relieve nasal congestion and open up your nasal passageways.

可以锻炼。如果你的症状包括像流鼻涕和鼻塞这样的常见症状，那就缩减你的运动量，不要太剧烈。感冒时锻炼可以帮助缓解鼻塞，打开你的鼻腔通道。

Instead of doing a high-intensity workout, try doing a lower-impact strength-training workout. Or instead of going for a run or jog, go for a brisk walk. Simply pare down your workout so that it's less intense and takes less time than usual.

不要做高强度的锻炼，试着做一些低强度的力量训练。或者试着快走而不是跑步或慢跑。只需要减少你的锻炼，这样强度就降低了，所需的时间也比平时少。
