Can't breathe

I can't breath today. I keep thinking I can make it to the gym and just walk.

So this brings up a great topic; should you exercise when you are sick?

Can I Exercise With A Cold ?

A. The rule of thumb for exercising while sick is called the above/below the neck rule. If your symptoms appear above the neck (runny nose, sneezing, sore throat) then yes, you can continue with a low-intensity workout.
If your symptoms are below the neck (diahrrea, intense coughing, vomiting, fever), then the American College of Sports Medicine and CDC suggest you let your illness run its course before resuming physical activity

So, with that being said, I think I will lay out again in the morning.
