Ugh! Cedar fever is here in Central Texas. If you have allergies, you’ve likely been suffering from a barrage of symptoms that have kept you locked inside for the past few weeks. OR, you are super hard core and are still “working out” despite the drainage, stuffy nose, cough and fatigue.

So the question is, when is it safe to continue to exercise when you are sick? I remember a trainer once telling me that if the cold/sickness is above the neck, you have a green light; if it is below the neck, you should stay home and rest. A little over-simplified, yes?

Now, get some rest!
