when REST is needed ...

So after being sick since Friday I thought it would be the perfect time to blog about working out while sick. There's been much research done on the topic both for the pros and cons of working up a sweat while sick but, it all depends on how you feel. Staying healthy is the main thing and not ending up more sick should be the main focus.

I know that sometimes you might not want to take the time away format the gym especially if you are in a groove but trust me its for the best. So here's to a healthy holiday season and I'll be posting next weeks workouts soon :)
