Probably the most sensible recommendation I can give, despite what my personal habits sometimes are, is that if the symptoms are below the neck...don't work out. That would of course include a fever. Coughing is a no go, for instance. Body aches, etc. Of course vomiting. If you feel very week and sluggish that could be viewed as a below the neck symptom.

If it's just a "head cold" you can probably get away with working out. But what I would do is take a deliberate slow warmup and gauge how you are feeling as you build up the stress. If you feel worse and worse instead of better and better you may want to call it quits.

If you've been really sick then you need to wait at least until all your symptoms are gone. A week off because you have the flu ain't gonna kill you like Sleazy said...quite the opposite.

I learned my lessons playing games with illness and training.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
