Is it really inadvisable, as I have read, to exercise when one has a cold? Or to put it another way, should I not bother going to my Body Pump class after work today, since I've got some major sniffles?

DO NOT GO. An unusual, but not uncommon, viral complication is viral myocarditis, where the virus eats away your heart valves. It is caused by violent exercise when ill with a viral infection. Bob Dylan had it a few years ago.....

Just as I thought . . . had better go home, lie on the sofa and spend the evening watching TV and eating chocolates instead. It's for the sake of my health, after all . . .

It also raises your blood pressure, risking heart, sight and other problems. Veg out, and return to exercise carefully
