DrSugar,
I was wondering how to determine whether it is OK to work out if I have a cold. I have heard of the "neck up" rule but sometimes find that it's not easy to tell whether the cold is localized in my head or not. For example, I have a cough and head congestion now but am not sure if I have chest congestion or not. I hate to break up my routine but also do not want to make myself worse. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
