There are so many variables for what makes us sick. When you do this analysis, take into account:
season--did you join in the fall/winter and is that when you get sick all the time anyway? Just re-read that you started in April--so forget that. But how often were you getting sick prior to the gym?
sleep--did your exercise take away from you sleep? I find that I need more sleep when I work out...something has to give. You can't add w/o taking away, unfortunately. For me it is TV and chitchat time with friends--gone.
exposure--to people at the gym, but also in other activities.
nutrition and hydration--nuf said.
I try to do Zumba 3x a week. It is cardio for one hour. I am sick right now though and trying to decide "how better?" do I have to be to go back to the gym...like if I can get through the day without an Advil for chills and body aches? Or do I take the advil and go b/c the mucus clearance is worth the exhaustion?
