Illness and exercise

[Trixtabella]

I woke up feeling like crap this morning my glads have swollen and my throat is absolutly killing me and I feel like I have done 3 hours of body attack I ache so much.

I am due to do a slasacise class this evening just not sure I can face it, do you think it is worth exercising when I am feeling like this?

I think its a personal choice, only you know how you feel. Personally I think if it was me and I felt as bad as that I wouldn't go, no point in working out and making yourself feel worse, you should give it a miss until you feel better.

 

[Trixtabella]

Thats what I was leaning towards to be honest. Bath and bed for me I think just now feel guilty and like I am making excuses for myself.

 

[mum2c&d]

Hope you feel better soon.

if you really want to go, then dont go high impact, stick to low and keep yourself hydrated.
dont go if you feel really bad though

I stayed at home, in the hope I can do combat tomorrow but we shall see. Nice earl grey tea and sofa for me.

maybe a nice rest until your 100% better is a good idea, you dont want to make yourself feel worse

I hate being ill, it irritates me.

same ive had a dodgy hand since sunday so ive had to lay off the weights and its been so annoying, iall i wanted to do was use weights and today i caved. my hand hurt alot so it too soon to go back to weights but i couldnt go any longer! lasted 5 days.... oops. think the instructor noticed too, i didnt say anything about it, but i think my face gave it away i was in pain, plus i couldnt keep up with the others. she kept looking over at me, and asked me if i was ok.... i was trying to be discreet about being in pain

Yea it is annoying. What makes me feel not as bad is that I have been up and down the office all day. I had to cancel my overtime too, I will have to see how I feel tomorrow. Maybe I should knock it on the head till next week and just be extra careful with what I am eating. Wanted to start on the weights for my toning this week too.

weights scared me at first, took me about 3 monthes to even try a class out. dont know what id do without it now!

 

[Trixtabella]

I am not sure I am ready for a weights class one of my friends is a personal trainer and he has devised me a plan to follow on free weights and in the weights room so I will see how I get on.

i was originally on a weights programme, still am but the weights room is always in use, the weights are always in use when i want them i prefer the classes anyway, i can lift more than i would do in the weights room without getting funny looks!

my programme has been made alot harder now again, the trainers are really good for making you work hard though

 

[Trixtabella]

I use our gym quite late so it is always dead. I can't go in the weights room when it is busy, not because of embaresment but there are some odd noises from men who work out in packs. I am sure they are supposed to be encouraging but it just makes me laugh.

im guilty of making noise when i use weights.... *shame* although yesterday it was more *whimper whimper whimper owwwwww* my finger is suspected to be broken. and i was using weights.
