Staying fit even while sick!

Being sick is never fun, but you can still remain in good physical condition when you are sick.
So for the last 2 weeks the Landon's have has a sever case of the Flu. 2 weeks ago My husband and kids came down with a Nasty case of the stomach bug, and then Last week they all got the Flu virus Type A, which is apparently the worst and most contagious. Somehow I managed to avoid both, so wither I am super MOM or Im about to get hit Hard!
Either way I have found some unique ways to stay fit whild felling like POO.
1. while laying in bed ( or on the couch) Flex your feet back and forth the entire time you your show goes to commercial. If you do do then you will keep your circulation moving and blood pumping.
2. even though you are sick you can still eat healthy. If you are normally a Macro dieter or Low carber you can still maintain by eating lots of Chicken noodle soup minus the crackers and drinking diet sprite or power aid Zero.
3. Take time to get up and sit outside even for 5 minutes the fresh air will energize you and sometimes after more then 1 day being cooped up the sun can really make you feel much better.
4. Soup can curls..... If you are too sick to hit the gym and your body feels aweful grab some soup cans and do some light weight work from the safety of your bad or couch with these. It may seem silly but even a very light workout when sick is better then nothing.\
5. Finally if you aren't running fever, and your illness isn't in your Lungs, I have always found, and it has been backed up by both my Dr. and Runners world magazine, if you run even just a short run can actually speed healing time and help you sweat out the toxins in your body! But if you wish to try this make sure you are a runner and this isn't your 1st time to try running. If you arent a runner go for a brisk walk. and you will be feeling better in no time.
