I have pretty much gotten over having the flu and being bed ridden for 5 days of the past week. As of today I'm feeling (on a scale of 1-10, 10 being horrible) about a 2-3. I was thinking of heading back to the classes tonight (45 minutes high intensity workout.)
I'm curious if it would be in my best interest to wait a couple more days or head back tonight. My biggest fear is this could cause me to relapse and get sick again (Which I REALLY don't want. )

Any advice would be apprieciated.

I woud wait. You don't want to overdo it. You might regret it later. Instead of a high intensity workout why not comprimise and try a walk?

I knew I shouldn't go (and I'm not now ) But I was hoping that someone would have some amazing info on high intensity training helping getting over a bad cold/flu ) I never did think about a walk.

Thanks again!!!!

Melissa, the way the doc explained it to me is this: If you have been exercising and all your symptoms are above your neck then you may continue at a somewhat lessened intensity. If your symptoms are below the neck cease and dessist. And Never start and exercise program if you're not completely healed. The flu, being respiratory in nature, would mean no workout until you're healed. Just think of all the people you didnt infect tonight
