To Roll or Not to Roll ; Should I Do BJJ With A Cold?

So this morning (and the last few days unfortunately) I've been dealing with a series of headaches, sore through, stomach ache's , light headness; in other words you could say that I'm sick.

But I thought to myself, isn't exercise good for a cold? (which being macho, I assumed I only have a cold and not the flu or something) After a quick google search and coming across webmd, I came to the conclusion that working out when sick is only recommended if you "feel like it". They say people can do light to moderate activity when sick and still get away with it.

So in my head, I'm like "yeah, i can just roll light." Then I realized.... rolling with even just a cold is a bad bad idea. Think about it. You're in close proximity to someone and very sweaty (if you don't sweat at all when you roll....then you're either really efficient or you don't train hard enough) and the likely hood of spreading germs is like an STD on jersey shore. (Not that you're spreading STD's rolling....I hope)

So that being said, I hope if any of you are considering rolling with a cold; just don't. Do everyone a favor and take a break until you fully recover. Your training partners would appreciate it.

Have a nice day,
