There are a few conditions in which you should go ahead with your workout, and there are some conditions where you should not continue with your workout. I will share a few pointers of how you can make sure you will be in the condition you need to be in to get the most of out your workout. These tips are as follows:
1. Be well rested. You need a good previous night's sleep in order to insure that you will get the most out of your lift. If you are fatigued or tired, you run the risk of not getting the maximum potential out or your workout, or even possibly injuring yourself. Both of these can be almost completely avoided by making sure you get a good night's sleep.
2. Have some nutrients in your system. You don't want to work out if you haven't eaten anything all day long. Working out causes your body to burn energy. If you don't have anything in your stomach this will cause problems. At the same time, you don't want to eat a seven course meal right before you workout. You should make sure your food is settled and digested before you begin physical activity.
3. Make sure you are healthy. You do not want to work out if you are sick. This will cause a domino effect. Your body is trying to fight an infection when you are sick. If you try to work out, you are taking away part of your body's energy from fighting off the disease, and concentrating the energy on working out. This may lead to you eventually becoming sicker that you were in the first place.
These few tips will help make sure you get the most out of your workouts. After all, if you are willing to put in the effort to workout, wouldn't it make sense to ensure that you are getting the most possible out of it?

Yea, being rested always makes for a better lift.
Sometimes I find that if I have a cold, working out can actually make me feel better!
Did you know that sleeping is the best way to digest food. So now we know sleeping does more than just give us the rest we need to lift!
