Quotes to ponder:
"Working out while you’re feverish increases the risk of dehydration and can make a fever worse."
"Avoid going to the gym when you have a cough, as you’re putting fellow gym-goers at risk of being exposed to the germs that caused your illness."
"Waiting until your symptoms completely subside before gradually getting back into your workout routine is a safe way to return to exercise after an illness."
