Laryngitis and Working Out
| Mon, 04-18-2005 - 12:40am |
Hi Everyone,
I'm around, but obviously, fallen off ALL of the wagons. However, I got laryngitis and I was wondering if anyone knows if I should or can work out. I mean, they say to rest your vocal cords, to drink a lot of fluids, etc, but I wonder, would huffing and puffing be bad for my vocal cords?
TIA.



Hey Cher, I found some info (not exactly for laryngitis, but some good guidelines!)
Thanks. I think I'm going to skip a hard work out and instead, just walk the dog. Why? Because, if I take deep breaths, I start to cough, my throat hurts, and it gets dry, and aggravates things more. lol.
So, I guess I answered my own question, but I'm keeping that post, cuz it's good info.
Thanks.
That makes sense to me Cher- I know I suffer from laryngitis a few times a year, I just see how I'm feeling before I workout-- but getting out there for a 30min stroll is good for you too.
Never underestimate the power of getting out and doing something!
Feel better :-)
