Working out when you're sick

[dms]

Where do you draw the line? At what point do you take the day off and hope to feel better rather than work through it at the gym/practice/etc.?

I've always followed the above the neck rule. If the problem is something like a headache, some congestion, etc you are probably fine for lighter workout. If you've got something like the flu, bronchitis, fever, etc take some rest

if you're working out when you're tired/fatigued, your body release stress hormones, which destroys your muscles. better to skip a day until you feel energized.

Just take the rest. Rest is good for growing muscles.
