Run/Walk For Life Midrand

It’s that time of the year 🤧😷🤒

We have a number of our family who have really been struggling this winter with colds and flu, and this strain of flu has been particularly bad and seems to linger for weeks.

The question is; should we exercise or not while we are sick?

Whether we should exercise or not while we are sick depends on our symptoms. As a rule of thumb, use the “neck rule”.

Above the neck: If you have a mild cold or sneezing, light activity like walking or slow yoga may help clear nasal passages. Dial your intensity down to 50% and keep it short.

Below the neck: Do not exercise if you have a fever, chest congestion, body aches, vomiting or diarrhoea. Strenuous activity during these illnesses can severely dehydrate you, strain your heart, and prolong your recovery.

Always listen to your body and prioritise rest. Let’s also be mindful of those around us and wear a mask if needed 😷

For all of our family who are sick or recovery from illness, we are thinking of you, we miss you and hope to see you soon 🤗❤️💙
