When
the immune system is fighting a cold, it is better to exercise at a
controlled intensity. Exhaustive exercise depletes the body's ability to
fight bacteria and viruses for up to 72 hours afterwards. Therefore, it
is important to listen to your body and maybe a brisk walk at 60 - 70%
of your max heart rate might be suitable for you. Rest and hydration is
the best way to deal with most flu like symptoms.

going around in circles with your workouts getting nowhere fast, seek a
professional to carry out an appraisal for you. That is one of the
services a personal trainer should provide you with.
