We’ve all been there: Making steady progress on our health goals, when suddenly the tickle of a sore throat begins, or one of our kids comes home with the latest bug.
In the latest episode of the FASTer Way Podcast, Founder & CEO Amanda Tress and Director of Education Le Bergin tackle the age-old question: “Should I work out when I’m sick?”
Their conversation—just in time for a record-breaking flu season—reveals that learning to be flexible and modify your approach can actually get you back to full strength faster than trying to maintain rigid health habits.
Amanda and Le deliver strategic guidance on smart movement during illness, focusing on evidence-based approaches that support your body's healing process, including:
- Intelligent workout modifications like swapping high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to targeted strength training during recovery periods
- Why a focus on leg days is particularly good use of your limited energy
- The powerful connection between nutrition and immune function, and how factors like excess sugar can delay your healing time
- Hacks for easily hitting your protein goals (and supporting your body’s natural recovery needs) when you’re short on energy
Now you don’t have to wonder what to do about your workout routine when illness strikes.It's not about pushing through or stepping back. It's about making strategic adjustments that honor your body's needs while keeping your long-term health and fitness vision in focus.
Enjoy the episode and stay well!
