  Is it good—or even safe—to exercise with Covid, cold or flu? Expert doctors explain how—and whether—to work out when you're sick, and when it's best to rest.

The article from MSN discusses the guidelines for exercising when you're sick, based on insights from expert doctors. It highlights three key symptoms that indicate you should rest rather than workout: a fever, chest congestion, and severe muscle aches. According to the experts, if you have a fever, your body needs to conserve energy to fight off the infection, and exercising could exacerbate the condition. Chest congestion, particularly if it leads to difficulty breathing, also signals the need for rest to avoid complications like pneumonia. Severe muscle aches, which might be a sign of flu or other serious infections, also require you to take it easy. However, for milder symptoms like a runny nose or mild sore throat, gentle movement like walking or light yoga might be beneficial to help speed up recovery by improving circulation and reducing congestion, but one should listen to their body and not push too hard.
