If a slight cold is just a stuffy nose, runny nose and heavy head, you can do some fitness exercises properly or sweat a little to relieve it. If you still do that kind of high-intensity fitness during a cold, it will increase the burden on your body. Don't imagine that you can cure a cold by increasing your fitness intensity and sweating. This will only add more pressure to your heart, which is not conducive to your health.
The quality of training is greatly reduced.
Although it is a small cold, it has a great influence on the fitness state. I have the experience of fitness after catching a cold. To tell the truth, if I go to the gym after catching a cold, it is difficult to fully train the target muscles of the day without strong willpower support. In addition, it is also very good to insist on doing a few basic movements. I can only say that the training after a cold can only fill the target muscles with congestion at most. It is still difficult to really practice in place.
Muscle circumference becomes smaller
Some people find that after exercising during a cold, the muscle circumference will be smaller than before, so they want to know whether they will lose muscle during training. There is no need to worry about this. This reaction is normal, and people's appetite will be affected more or less when they catch a cold. At this time, the body is in urgent need of energy to fight the cold virus and nutrition to maintain normal operation, which will inevitably mobilize some energy in the body for normal operation. So you can see that the muscle circumference is slightly smaller, which is just glycogen and water consumed by yourself. As long as the body recovers later, the normal training on diet is regular, and the muscles will be full again.
Generally speaking, it is best not to exercise during a cold. It's a little scary, but it's better than getting hurt. Although the cold is small, the physical condition at this time is not as good as when you are innocent. Choosing not to exercise can directly avoid mistakes in the process of fitness. Fitness is a small matter, but health is a big thing.
