I have not been sick in over forty years. None of my kids are ever sick. I hope I never get really sick. I like to go all the time. I can not slow down.

@amadeo I don't think that it is wise to exercise when you are sick.

I used to run when I had a cold to raise my body temperature. Now I just lay around!

No, unless I just had a minor cold. I think feeling sick is your body's way of telling you to take it easy.

If I am sick, I usually refrain from going to the gym, but sometimes I will walk, depending on what I am sick with.

I don't exercise when feeling sick. Satisfaction from mind is important when body workouts.

I've heard mixed reviews as to whether or not to exercise when still sick, but definitely the high impact/energy intensive stuff is right out.

I don't exercise when I am sick. Well, it depends on the type of illness. But it is not good if you have a cold or a flu.

I listen to my body and when I'm not 100%, I just sit back and rest. Other times, I turn down my exercise a notch or two below.

Depends on the type of sick. Some type of sick goes away the best with good rest

I think it is ok although you might want to tone it down a bit and not overexert yourself. My body usually will let me know if I am up to it. If its something like the flu I would be to wiped out to try, but with a cold exercise can be tolerated.
