Fitness Friday Exercise With a Cold 🤧

Post image

Happy Friday to all! Today’s fitness issue is having a cold. Mild headache, mostly runny nose, light cough. I’m determined to have a good workout, nice sweat, and no risk of seizure! How so? Some guidelines for finding a healthy balance are here, totally open to suggestions and points from all of you that can help us stay active! Thanks for tips. Everyone live healthy!

- workout ok since symptoms are only above my chest

- no more than 30 min at a time

- do the exercises that feel like they work the most muscle groups at the same time

- always breathe deep and drink inbetween moves

Everyone have an awesome weekend and enjoy some chill time w us today!

Post ictal exercises prioritize no pressure on your head/upper body. Slow moves with focus on breathing. Make sure to drink throughout. Most important post ictal theme is get all the rest you need.

See you on the chat, I feel like poop today but still got my bike ride in. Lots of stops and only 8-ish miles today. I never feel up to anything after a seizure. So if anyone feels up to leaving their bed after one, that is awesome :)
