Fit For What Podcast Ep. 5: Should I Work Out When I’m Sick or Hungover?

We hear variations of this all the time:

"I think I might be coming down with something."

"I've been really sick but I feel a little better so I came to the gym."

"I was out late drinking, but I want to work off my hangover."

But what is the right answer? Should we be working out when we don't feel well, or tough it out?

For answers, host Dane Leavy interviews Coach Nick, who by day helps heal the sick as a registered nurse.
