Exercise should always end up being a daily (or close to daily) activity. It becomes difficult, though, when we are not up to par. Feeling down in the dumps makes it harder to motivate ourselves to be active. However, exercising while you are sick could actually improve your condition. How can we tell when it is healthy to get some exercise while feeling sick, and when we should probably rest?
