Working out/walking/jogging during breakout/after breakout


Recommended Posts

Do most people get breakouts from working out?

 

Im still going through my first break out. I dont want to use the gym equipment other than probably the treadmill at this point.

 

But will it prolong my breakout? Is it bad if Im still running a fever and have swollen groin glands?

 

Im kinda going a little stir crazy and want to do something but walking outside isnt an option in the north at the moment. And I don't wano prolong the issue or cause another breakout or.... I dont know.......

Really give yourself a bit of a break if you can! You could try lifting weights (work the arms) or even focus some stretching and yoga moves. Will help center you and won’t cause a lot of friction.

 

For me, I felt like I needed to “get back to normal” life really fast after my first outbreak. But what that did was put a lot of pressure on me to “get better” and I couldn’t control when I’d be healed.

 

So just be kind to yourself, take it slow, do what feels good. I’m a huge fan of the couch, not because it’s your first outbreak but because it’s freaking 20 degrees where I am!

Its 20 degrees where I am too! And yes that is part of it. Forcing myself to be better. But there were other things so on top of this, I'm dealing with a bit of depression for the first time ever. Which I was told the antivirals can aggregate. Its been a rough year.
