Excercise and the Immune System? |
|
I've been attempting to do large amounts of yoga, weight lifting and cardio, but this past week I have been so exhausted.
Is it better to fight against being tired and do the regular exercise, or to do half, or just to give it a rest?
Because of my current situation, exercise means a lot to me mentally and just in terms of trying to be mentally tough, but lately I am so tire, that I am wondering if maybe it is time to lay off.
Any advice would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks.

1. I don't think it does much to your immune system directly |
|
but it does give you more energy in the long run, so I'd say it's worth it.

Might you be overtraining? Hard to tell without specifics.
I don't see the tie-in between your exercise and your immune system, though. Are you sick/getting sick/worried about getting sick?

4. Exercise on a regular basis |
|
can help boost your immune system, but from what I know of your situation, you are in a very stressed place emotionally and that WILL have an effect on your immune system. I would do some light exercise, but don't push hard or your body WILL push back. People can and do get hospitalized for physical and mental exhaustion.
