The CDC recommends that adults exercise 150 minutes a week, but you might have to alter your routine when ill.
There are many illnesses circulating going into the holiday season, including RSV, COVID-19 and influenza.
“Once you get sick, it is advisable to take a break and allow your body to recover,” Conroy said. “The severity of your symptoms is the deciding factor on whether you should exercise or not and how hard you exercise or not. For some individuals, going for a walk around the neighborhood is considered exercise, and if you have some congestion and a little bit of a sore throat but you don’t have a fever, it’s OK to continue that light exercise and get out and get some fresh air.
“When you ask the question, ‘Should I be doing vigorous exercise when I have some sort of infection,’ the sensible answer is no,” he said. “The exercise is not going to reduce the duration or minimize the symptoms. You’re not going to recover faster because you went to the gym. And if it’s an infectious disease, you may be infecting other people at the gym.”
In the wake of COVID-19, Allison said he has seen an uptick in the number of athletes experiencing myocarditis. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is an inflation of the heart that can reduce the heart's ability to pump blood.
