Lightbulb I would not exercise

when you have fever and/or body aches suggesting a viral infection.

A gym teacher of my son's did that and developed an inflamed heart.
He was told by his doctors, and he told the kids, that exercising can drive viruses into the heart. He had a pericardial effusion, and almost died.

So, I'd recommend you pamper yourself instead, and stay away from the gym or other forms of exercise until you feel better.
