It is not always necessary to skip a WOD when you are feeling under the weather, but knowing when to rest and when to WOD can be a bit tricky.  Here is something to consider when you are wanting to get in a WOD.  What are your symptoms?

Give it a try (above your neck):
Runny nose
Sneezing
Scratchy throat only
Headache

Get some rest (below your neck):
Fever
Dry cough
Sore muscles (fatigue)
Vomiting
Diarhrea
Chest congestion
Upset Stomach

A couple of other things you might want to consider would be your level of hydration and nutrition.  If you haven’t been properly nourished for several days, jumping straight into working out may cause more stress on your body than doing you any actual good. Really we get back to this idea of “listening to your body”.  There might be times when you give it a try (decide to WOD)…
