I’m pushing through it….

I’ve had bronchitis for a bit over a  month now and the meds are not getting rid of it.  Everyone says “You should just skip the gym”  WHAT!!!!! Yes, it’s a bit harder to breath at the gym, yes, it may take me a bit longer to get my workout in.  Why skip it though.  My doctor gave me an inhaler to use just before to make it easier (it helps a tiny bit) and if I skipped, I would be out of the gym for over a month now.

 I’m just pushing through it.  Hopefully it’s goes soon.

    sounds as if you are committed to exercise in spite of being sick - keep going and it will pay off.

    I think that’s awsome! I know how hard it is once you stop something to get back into it, so I think you made what wiser choice to keep going.

    Dude! I totally fell you! I too have been coughing since before 4th of july - and all they said was “it’s bronchitis, take some mucinex, here’s an inhaler”. Which didn’t do JACK btw, the only thing that helped was the over the counter primatene mist inhaler…
    Anyways, it was hard to work out while coughing, so I just cut myself a break and didn’t push myself TOO hard- if I felt out of breath or dizzy, I just took a break & waited to catch my breath. Proud of you for sticking with it! Good luck!
