Too sick to exercise?
The common cold doesn't have to keep you on the sidelines. Mild to moderate exercise is usually OK if your symptoms are all above the neck, such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing or minor sore throat.

And don't exercise if you have a fever, fatigue, widespread muscle aches or a contagious illness.
