Can I practice PE when having a cold?

Couldn’t find a thread with any info about this.

Could I PE when having a cold?
Does it matter if I have fever also? (not having that at the moment though!)

I wonder because you shouldn’t do this when lifting weights at the gym (or just exercise), but I don’t know if it is the same with PE.

I don’t think it matters much one way or the other. PE isn’t exactly strenuous exercise. If you feel like it, go ahead. If not, don’t. If you were unlucky enough to get the flu, I don’t think you would feel like doing much of anything.

True, and it’s a shame because with a 103+ temperature everything is nice and warm.

Just do lighter workouts by cutting your normal routine by half. You should be fine. With this your still be consistent with your work out and that’s the key.

I think if you feel well enough to do any sort of exersize, you should do it. Whether it is PE or lifting weights, listen to your body.

In fact, I read about a couple studies that mentioned that cultures that encourage people to be mobile as soon as they are able — even during sickness — led to much faster recoveries. The idea of being sick and therefore bedridden is a fallacy. (Just like how pregnant women used to avoid exersize, and now it is encouraged.)

In short, if you are too sick to PE, don’t. If you are sick but still think you can do it comfortably, why not do it?

No problem at all with doing PE, even if you have a fever.

Being mobile if you feel able will force the immune system to work slightly harder, resulting in faster recovery. Strenuous exercise (running, gym) should definitely be avoided if you have a fever; I won’t go into the medical reasons because it has nothing to do with PE. Gentle exercise with a mild cold is OK - As Cmdr. Blop says ‘listen to your body’.

I still workout when I have a cold, I still PE when I have a cold, I still do everything as normal when I have a cold.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to PE, so I suppose you could, if you’re not overly exhausted.

Dude, its a cold.

Lol - thats the kind of answer I wanted to hear, would a cold stop you goin to work? Well why should it stop you from PE

Any excuse to slack off…lol

Can you PE while you have a cold?

Answer this - do you want a bigger penis?

Your answer to that is the answer to your question.
