In Part 1, we broke down the dangers of training while sick. Now in Part 2, we take it further—unpacking how to make the smartest choices for your health, fitness, and long-term performance.


You’ll discover:


  • When light movement might actually help vs. when to shut it down completely
  • How to adjust your workouts without derailing your progress
  • Practical recovery strategies to bounce back faster
  • Why resting now can protect your future training cycles
  • How the Neck Rule helps athletes stay consistent for the long haul



 Remember: toughness isn’t about grinding through sickness—it’s about knowing when to back off so you can come back stronger.
