Poker, pull ups and tire flipping make for a happy Claw!

Although we have all miraculously escaped the pandemic of Swine Flu, there has still been some nastiness floating around our little town.  This is a time of year when people are apt to get sick due to the changes in weather patterns and the question is often asked, “Should I train if I’m sick?”  It’s a legitimate question as sometimes people feel like if they come in and workout it will kick their cold out of them.  We’ve all done it.  I think that the first thing that we have to remember here is that working out with a cold is often a gamble that will often leave you feeling worse afterwards, especially with the intensity with which we do, well, just about everything.  Also it’s very important to remember that coming in and training when you are contagious is a good recipe for sharing whatever you may have with everyone else in the gym.  If you are sick, working lightly on your own may help your situation, but please be respectful of your other teammate’s health as well and take that extra day or two of rest at home, until you’re no longer symptomatic.
