Flu season is upon us...with it comes brutal colds, body aches, pains, and flu-like symptoms. No one likes to be sick! But if you're going to be sick... you might as well get back on track with your health goals quickly, right? So, to speed up your recovery time and get back on track with your fitness goals as soon as possible, here are a few things by Christina that you can do when you’re sick.
In this episode, Christina talks about:
- Seven fitness tips for when you are sick
- Prioritize your sleep
- Skip the cardio
- Take rest when you need it
- Don't try to lose weight while you're sick
- Keep eating
- Maintain your supplement routine
- Try your absolute best to maintain your momentum in some way.
Memorable Quotes:
"If getting sick really was a make-it-or-break-it thing, there'd be no one in good shape. There'd be no one who's achieved success because everyone gets sick at some point or another."
"Sleep is the number one thing that is going to make the biggest difference when it comes to your healing. If there is ever a time to sacrifice your sleep, it is not when you are sick or not when you are injured."
"Your mindset really is everything. You control everything with your perspective on what's happening to you and on how you respond to what's happening to you. And usually when something knocks us off track, whether it is a sickness, whether it's a vacation, a holiday, whatever it is, it's because we lose that focus, we lose that momentum."
