Question: cardio and strength training in gym?


Question Description:
Hi,I am a great enthusiast of going to the gym, where I split my time between cardio work..running, and strength/weight training..muscle building.I've not been since last wed due to flu.I hope to get back later this week.Will I lose much strength and fitness due to my missed week/flu?Or is strength/fitness not lost in a week?

Answer#1: One week won't make much difference in strength or stamina. If you were to miss 3 or 4 weeks straight, you'd prob. notice, depending on how in shape you are.


Answer#2: Ease back into it. You won't lose much strenght. It is also necessary to take a week off every few months to give the body a rest.Exercise is stress and you will sometimes need a break. If you are sick, it's the perfect time to back off.Don't worry about it.Keep up the good work!Josehttp://www.personalfitnessforyou.com


Answer#3: you wont lose any strength as long as you drink like two 30 packs of Natural Ice and a couple liters of Jim Beam also try poppin some pills like oxys


Answer#4: You shouldn't lose your knack in a week, but you should take it easy while getting over the flu. Your immune system is still weak, and overdoing it could leave you open to catching more bugs.
