It is well known that the cold season comes with all kinds of viruses and flu. Exercise helps the body and immune system to cope with the challenges of a cold.
It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as have high energy and stamina levels during the cold season. Before starting any physical activity, it is recommended to consult your family doctor.

According to the American Lung Association, light or moderate exercise is generally acceptable for mild cold symptoms, such as nasal congestion and sneezing. However, experts caution against forcing exercise and recommend reducing the duration and intensity of exercise to avoid injury or the risk of a cold turning into something more serious.
Neck Method:
If you have “in the neck or under the neck” symptoms, athletes should rest to allow the body to heal. Conversely, if symptoms are “above your neck” it’s generally safe to continue exercising at a lower intensity if you don’t feel worse.
Always listen to your body and take some time off to recover. When you feel better, gradually resume your regular exercise routine. Start with low-impact exercise that raises your heart rate, such as treadmill walking, to safely regain strength, endurance, and energy.
Avoid weights and focus on exercises that put the muscles under positive stress when you return to strength training. Use strength equipment to support your posture, for example, and start with a lighter weight and gradually increase it.

Don’t overdo it
Some people may need longer rest periods between sets, at least 60-90 seconds, to avoid the temptation to overtrain and catch their breath. Hydration is essential to regaining health after illness, so keep water nearby and sip small amounts during exercise rather than waiting until you’re thirsty.
Don’t forget to set aside time at the end of your workout to stretch, slow your breathing, and listen to your body. By following these pointers, you can get back in the water quickly, while maintaining your energy and endurance during the cold season, informs Fox News.
