You lot're stressing your trunk by exercising, that's all. Y'all don't get colds from going out in the cold (even when wet), you get them from germs and weakened immune systems! If you simply go along at it, you'll fight off the cold and be fitter generally. Plenty of Zinc and Vit C should help, just try to get this through your diet rather than supplements. Make certain you lot have good rest days to recuperate and are eating enough to fuel your workouts and don't let a cold discourage yous!
As an bated, have yous considered that yous might accept allergies? I get sinus pain and a sniffly nose and scratchy throat and eyes if I run in summer with all the pollen and grass etc. this sometimes feels like a cold when it's non!

I used to get that all the time! At present that I know it's a matter my body does, I brand sure that if I piece of work out lots, when I come back I become plenty rest, consume lots of salubrious food, shower and modify into fresh clothes. Basically giving my body all it needs to fight off the germs I take hold of, and not stress out my immune system farther than I need to.

Yeah, stress (even "good stress") can weaken the body's defenses. There is a smashing book about this, "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" by Sapolsky.
And gyms are filthy places. I wipe the machines and the barbells with a moisture wipey before I touch them (and after). And I never bear on my confront without washing my hands first.

By the time I typed this and posted this post...someone else posted too.
As well in addition to the other comments here, know that the gym or workout middle, if y'all use i, can exist a germ and/or virus laden place. Please, be sure to exercise (pun intended) with good preventive hygiene. Keep your easily away from your eyes, olfactory organ, and oral fissure later treatment anything that others take used. In addition to wiping the equipment earlier yous use it, information technology is good etiquette to wipe down the equipment that you utilise, in consideration of others. If the heart doesn't provide an antibacterial/antiviral spray for wiping, need that they brainstorm to provide information technology. All-time wishes.

OP I'chiliad sad y'all keep getting sick but I am so glad you are talking about this. I utilise my elliptical at home however been sick near five times since last october. I actually dread working out now. From colds, to coughs, to flu etc etc. It's non something I wait forward to. Thanks for the tips in the thread. Promise more people will pitch in.
ps I am the chief elliptical user, but my bf uses it from time to time too. I wipe down the handles with a towel.
Should I use antibacterial wipes even though I'm the principal user?0

That happens every fourth dimension I join a gym. I assume it's the combination of the stress of working out on my immune arrangement and germs at the gym. Don't bulldoze yourself when you're sick, but as long as the cold is not in your chest I've read information technology's okay to work out.

i'll admit I'm a big slob then yea I'll make sure to let him know to accept clean hands but that means I'll have to clean my hands but as much.

I accept a few more than things to add.
Offset, washing your easily and not touching your face (a.k.a. "Paw Awareness") get a long manner towards protecting one from colds and the flu, but they will not assist 100% if people sneeze on you. In at least one study of how the common cold spreads, a huge pct of participants who got the virus every bit a nasal spray developed a common cold (over ninety%, if I recollect correctly--don't accept the time to look up the original study).
2d, regular moderate exercise actually boosts your immune system, and I think i of the mechanisms is stress reduction. Extreme exercise such as marathon running can increase respiratory tract infections. For this i, I really have a reference:
http://europepmc.org/abstruse/MED/8164529
Then, OP and everyone else--practise!
[She said, wiping her nose. -- I really take a mild common cold right at present, but it is my first in about a year. Irony, y'all are mine.]

Launder hands often....that'due south your first defence of course!
Gyms are germ-laden (as others have posted) and you lot're exposed no affair how careful you are. Eventually you build amend immunity. When I first started working in the ER I was sick all the time. Now, it's much amend (although a direct cough to the face by a should-know-better-adult did requite me the flu this yr...grrrr)
And lastly, if yous're wheezing or coughing all the time, enquire your doctor about the possibility of exercised-induced asthma.
Keep up the workouts!
